Inspired from youth by Albert Camus' sense of the Absurd, I try to be a voice for REASON in the growing darkness and moral insanity of global capitalism .

World reacts to Trump's Zelenskyy, European leaders meeting [ ALL the bourgeois governments of Europe must dread this question on the minds of the masses ! ]
I like what I read on World Socialist Website this morning :
[ "Such a gathering of high-ranking politicians is usually only seen at state funerals, excepting regular summit meetings that are prepared months in advance. The meeting in Washington may indeed be the prelude to a funeral: the funeral of NATO, which has shaped transatlantic relations for 76 years.
The bizarre façade of the meeting—the adulation and gestures of humility towards Trump, the Europeans’ desperate efforts to present a united front, the assurances that they were in agreement and only wanted peace—concealed the deep cracks in the NATO alliance. In fact, the differences have never been so sharp.
While European leaders groveled and bowed before Trump, a figure despised worldwide, as if in a Molière comedy, they could see the heavily armed soldiers in front of the White House that Trump had brought to the capital to demonstrate: 'I am the dictator here.' ']
But if the American ruling class is planning some Apocalyptic World War III with China , it is more deluded that these NATO leaders imagining they were about to carve up Ukraine and POST-COMMUNIST Russia in the manner of the Great War of 1914.
Can working class people in ANY country on the planet really identify with the imperialist interests of these deranged plutocracies ? For years now an essentially bipartisan American plutocracy has ruined the standard of living of the working class and lower middle class. From these people American imperialism is going to recruit the cannon fodder ," BOOTS ON THE GROUND " soldiers for another stupid war which has no connection with THEIR interests and " security " ?
Wisdom from the Tumultuous Sixties : "What if they start a war and nobody shows up ? " . ALL the bourgeois NATO governments of Europe must also dread this question in the minds of the masses !
