Lenin argues that imperialist policies, including the belligerent attitudes of nation-states, are closely connected to the interests of financial capital. However, his analysis is more complex than a simple 1:1 causal relationship between financial capital and state belligerence. Lenin's central thesis Imperialism is that imperialism is the most developed (in his time) stage of capitalism, where the concentration of capital and the merging of industrial and bank capital lead to the dominance of financial capital, which seeks to secure and expand profits through territorial expansion, monopolies, and the exploitation of colonies. This expansionist drive of capitalist powers, often manifesting in belligerence or conflict, can be seen as influenced by the interests of financial capital, as imperialist nations seek new markets, resources, and opportunities for investment, however, Lenin does not present this as a simple, direct 1:1 cause. Lenin emphasizes that while the interests of financial capital play a crucial role in shaping imperialist policies, other factors are also at play, including the competition between imperialist powers, the political and military dynamics of international relations, and the strategies of the ruling classes to maintain their dominance. The "belligerent attitudes" of nation-states, therefore, are not solely reducible to the interests of finance capital but are shaped by a combination of economic, political, and social forces within the context of capitalist imperialism. Lenin argues that financial capital, through its concentration and monopoly power, drives the imperialist expansion of capitalist states, but also that this drive leads to contradictions, conflicts, and tensions between competing imperialist powers. This is where the complex nature of Lenin's analysis comes in: while financial capital is a fundamental driving force, imperialist belligerence is also shaped by the broader international political economy and the competition for global dominance. You are more than welcome to provide a citation showing that he ever claims a 1:1 causal relationship.

And what exactly is the explanatory power of this? Most conflict isn't caused or necessarily in the interest of finance capital.
I am not asking for proof of a 1:1 causation, but if the majority of conflict between major world powers doesn't serve finance capital, what is even the point of this theory?
Even if you could prove that Lenins theory of imperialism was correct during his time, it certainly is no longer correct. American tech capital isn't aligned with Wallstreet and yet it exerts massive influence over the current US government, shaping its foreign policy.
Additionally modern China is exporting capital without underdeveloping other nations. Besides a few exceptions Chinese capital export has been beneficial for the developing world.

they're way further down/right on the curve than that, come on

>only this time the enemy would be "Russian-backed Islamic terrorists" (on practice - all Muslim immigrants/refugees) rather than "Judeo-Bolshevics" (which on practice turned all European Jews or all leftists).

since it's judeo-bolshevics who put russia-backed islamic terrorists on europe's border what stops us from admitting both are our enemy?

All of those points are just middle-classers defending their interests. Nothing we communists can do about it.

>Think how Blacks who were brought up under Jim Crow are 10x more nationalist than any of the younger gens who never experienced any of that.
What do you mean by nationalist in this case? Because both statistically and anecdotal examples would tell us that the nationalism is different. I can give an example: ask a black person raised during Jim Crow if they had to choose what is more important to them being black or being American 9 out of ten will choose being black. This can flip if you ask the question to a white person raised around that same time.
>The media has built up a strong counter America narrative over many decades.
Keep in mind that MLK, the man used as a patriotic symbol, was a hated man in his time and was seen as a anti-American force alongside the American hating Vietnam protesters. Now these same boomers would tell you these were all acts of patriotism but at the time they were seen as counter cultures put upon America.
>If it could even work, all it would lead to would be a nationwide CHAZ but the patriotic elements would always end up stomping those out.
And these patriotic elements have different meanings of what it means to be a patriot. It always goes back on "what kind of American are you". NYC will have a different vision of patriotism compared to someone in East Washington.
>Really all it will do is help us sink further into the malaise.
No, you just have to realize that the universal American story is different to different groups. Understand that Civil Rights activists quoting Jefferson was an attempt to appeal to the mainstream and not so much out of patriotic love of a slave owner.

>The nation supercedes, race, religion, or creed.
Disagree. Thats Pentagon propaganda especially to foreigners. The national constitution that in use today still have 3/5th person in bold writing. The nation never truly superseded its biases and overcame these issues through force and economic prosperity to shut down complaints. However, this prosperity is dying down and tensions are increasing. So blaming a counter culture(which was always Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

It is common knowledge that Adolf Frankenberger (his real surname from his Jewish grandfather that had an affair with his paternal grandmother, who worked as a servant for a wealthy Jewish family, which caused his father to be born out of wedlock, with the Nazi party taking monumental efforts to hide their leaders Jewish ancestry by destroying his Jewish grandfathers mansion with artillery along with erasing all records of Jewish settlement in that region of Austria and creating a fake genealogy which most modern historians chose to uncritically accept due to pressure form the Zionist lobby, with the reality of the Fuhrers Jewish ancestry further confirmed by the fact that DNA testing of his living relatives showed that his Y-DNA haplogroup was E1b1b, which is extremely rare amongst ethnic Germans, while being very common amongst Jews, Arabs, Berbers, and other Afro-Asiatic peoples) was a Shell-shocked Psychopathic Schizophrenic retard whose primary accomplishments were destroying Germany, murdering 20 million Soviet citizens, murdering 6 million Non-Zionist Jews and paving the way for the creation of the Zionist State (the haavara transfer agreement) and the resultant Genocide of Palestine, before ultimately blowing his brains out in his Cucked Bunker, 😂🤣🤢🤮!

CP of Greece, CONFERENCE OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNIST ACTION: The struggle of the working class and its movement is the real catalyst of developments..
We would like to thank all the comrades who are present in Paris today and the comrades participating online in today's meeting of the ECA, which shows, among other things, the importance that the communist and workers' parties of the ECA attach to the contemporary working class, which is the basic productive force of capitalist society and the class that suffers from capitalist exploitation. At the same time, we are aware that its historical mission, which can be summarized in the struggle for the overthrow of the capitalist relations of production and the construction of a new, socialist–communist society, cannot be fulfilled if the Communist Parties are not rooted in the working class, if we do not act within the workers’ – trade union movement, if we do not have party organizations in the workplaces and sectors.

Modi Govt’s Craven Response To US Tariff Hikes
The US has imposed an additional 25 percent tariff on steel and aluminum products from Canada, along with various goods exported to the US from Mexico and China. These actions have been met with strong opposition from the affected countries, as they violate multiple trade agreements previously concluded with the US, as well as World Trade Organisation (WTO) rules. In response, Mexico and China have imposed retaliatory tariffs on US products, and Canada has also announced its intention to do the same. Unlike these countries, the reaction of the Indian government has been rather tame.
