Capital is an economic concept. What idiot would require a geographic proviso for contradictions between capitalist powers, for “territory which they could exclusively control and shield from competition from foreign corporations”?
The peoples are witnessing a re-division of the world which can never be done peacefully Communist Party of Greece, Feb. 16, 2025 The international economic, technological and military competition between the USA and China for supremacy in the capitalist system and the confrontation between the Euro-Atlantic alliance, led by the USA, NATO and the EU, and the Eurasian alliance under formation, led by China, which is gaining ground in the economic field, and capitalist Russia, which is the second military power in the world, are expressed in every existing and potential hotbed of war. Linked to this fierce competition are the ongoing trade wars, tariffs and protectionist measures, the threats by the Trump administration to Greenland, the plundering of natural resources and the transport route through the Arctic Circle, or the control of the Panama Canal, the strategic shipping route between the Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans. The search for and exploitation of energy deposits, transport routes and rare earths, as well as the race for supremacy in artificial intelligence and modern technology in general, are fuelling the confrontation and preparing the ground for new hotspots alongside the ones we already know, e.g. in the Caspian Sea, the Caucasus, the Balkans, the South and East China Seas, Africa and other regions. The contradictions run through both alliances and sections of the bourgeoisie in each state, because the issue at stake is capitalist profit and the strengthening of the monopolies. This is reflected in the contradictions in the relations between the USA and the EU, between EU and NATO member states, but also in the Eurasian alliance, for example between China and India. The peoples are witnessing a re-division of the world, which can never be done peacefully, despite the social-democratic and opportunist inventions of a “multi-polar” peaceful world. –excerpted from https://www.idcommunism.com/2025/02/kke-peoples-are-witnessing-redivision-of-world-which-can-never-be-done-peacefully.html -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
