ABSTRACT

Incidental to the bourgeois State are the antagonisms of nations and the ever more devastating wars that arise out of them. With the fall of the class system these wars, and the infinite cruelty they entail, would cease, for they are based on the conflict of bourgeois interests: in the past the ambitions of kings, superseded now by the ambitions of capitalists, financiers, and profiteers. In these international quarrels the ‘proletariat’ on either side is duped by the interested parties who control the Press and the Government; the People are the instruments and the victims of their only real enemies, the enemies in their midst.
