Why the world's superpowers are racing to control the Arctic - BBC World Service

The once healthy global socialist movement explained more than a century ago that WAR is a function of society's ruling class. The idolized NATION STATE in no way represents the common people in any of these countries. Wisdom from the " Tumultuous Sixties " : " What if THEY start a war and nobody shows up ? " Trump daily shows how much he respects even the very bourgeois concept of a SOVEREIGN nation. The spirit of " socialist internationalism " must be revived by a new " New Left ". Replete with ossified dogma , no MARXIST " vanguard party " still around today has anything to offer the "workers of the world " but tired " official atheism " and senile personality cult leaders ( who seem to enjoy living very boring , dialectically long lives ! ) .
