Although the third war of division we are experiencing is presented in the classical sense as a conflict of interests of states, in reality it is a new phase of the great division fight within global capital itself. While only twenty percent of the population receives eighty percent of the world's income, a smaller group within this twenty percent, namely seven percent, now wants to seize a larger portion of the pie by throwing their collaborators off their backs. This is a new stage in the historical tendency of capital. Capital liquidates every element it does not need, throws off what it sees as a burden, and rapidly excludes structures that do not serve it. The collaborators it instrumentalized to lighten its burden in the Second World War have become an unnecessary cost item in the eyes of the global capital, which has transformed into another power today, and for this reason they are being excluded, liquidated and left out of the new global order to be established. The momentum of this conflict has divided the world into two, the world and country of the dominant powers and the world and country of the oppressed, the righteous and the downtrodden. There is no longer one world, but two separate realities, two separate historical orientations.

In times of war, it is the sovereign power centers, intertwined with the State apparatus and interwoven with networks of interests, that reap the greatest profits, that capitalize on the Blood of Peoples. Arms monopolies, Military-Industrial complexes, Private-Military companies and Mercenary-Military networks see every bomb, every destruction, every death as a new item of wealth flowing into their coffers. US-based giants like Lockheed Martin, Boeing, RTX (Raytheon) and General Dynamics are the real architects not only of wars but of the Global exploitation order. They are followed by Natural-Resource plunderers, Reconstruction monopolies, Logistics-Houses, Financial-Institutions and Billionaire-Technocrats. The National and International Bloodsuckers of the Global System, whose corporate names I have mentioned, turn every wound inflicted by war into a new opportunity for plunder. The cost of this order is never borne by the decision-makers and war barons, but by the working people who are crushed by high inflation, heavy tax burden and the cost of living. The real victims of war are not those who decide to wage war in palaces, but the people whose bread on the table shrinks, whose future is stolen and whose voices are suppressed. For this reason, war is not a destruction carried out for the benefit of the rulers, but a class exploitation mechanism placed on the shoulders of the Working-Poor Peoples.

In order to protect its own interests, global capital has sanctioned all kinds of pollution, all kinds of lawlessness, and all kinds of violence to its collaborators, and has allowed them to disintegrate societies through Regionalism, Religionism, Racism and Mafia organizations by keeping them on a leash. While these collaborator regimes oppressed the poor and working people in their own countries, at the same time they turned into State power with the dirty profits they obtained from illegal structures. The boundary between the state and the mafia has been erased, politics and the criminal economy have become intertwined, and the social order has been reshaped according to the common logic of profit and violence. While the global monopolies continue to compete in the market among themselves, they have redesigned the political sphere in the collaborative States with Divide and Conquer mechanisms and made the common interests of the peoples invisible by dividing them into hostile identities. In their world, shedding blood for profit has become commonplace and wars have become an indispensable tool for both global powers and collaborative regimes. For this reason, war is not just a conflict, it is the justification for capital to maintain its own existence.

Since the global powers know very well which social fault lines their collaborators use and how they use them, they keep these fault lines alive in order to control them and to use them as a threat when necessary. Their first trump card is that they are supposedly sympathetic to the social segments oppressed by their collaborators and present them as a counterweight to their own collaborators. Their second trump card is to control the ownership cycles of illicit profits and send the message “I'm in charge, I can confiscate them if I want”. Their third trump card is to pave the way for a new continental war in Africa, the fourth war of partition. Africa's underground riches, energy resources, strategic transit routes and young population are seen as the new hegemony area of global capital. The exposure of the dirty relations of the global powers and their collaborators mentioned in the “Black Book” in the Epstein dossier will be used to establish the legitimacy of the new global system. Wars and the slaughter of innocent people on the one hand, and the efforts of the global elites to justify their own filth with their own judgments on the other, are two faces of the same system. This contradiction is the most visible sign of the dissolution of capital itself and the search for a new order.

In the World of the Oppressed there is a completely different reality. In this war, the oppressed peoples must not see themselves as part of the first world, but must define their own real world, their own country and their own grounds for struggle. Those who are against the destruction of the environment that destroys the ecological balance, women and children who are subjected to sexist oppression, those who have difficulty in making a living with their labor, those who live in the grip of racism and religionism, that is, all the oppressed, must establish the Global solidarity of the oppressed poor peoples against the global powers and their collaborators. This solidarity must become a Global counter-force by forming a new unity of power within the world they have determined. The name of this power is Democratic Socialism, which is the name of the Equal-Free Individual, the value of Labor, communal life and free society, and the cry of “Either Socialism or Barbarism“ expresses the most concrete historical threshold that stands before humanity today. The global powers have accelerated their own demise with the blindness of their greed for profit and have become weaker than they were yesterday. Capital's internal contradictions have magnified its own internal war, which has expanded the historical opportunity of the oppressed.

Democratic Socialism is the ground of Global Labor and Democracy that will unite two worlds and two countries. A social life in which agriculture is strengthened, Village Communes and Cooperatives are revived, Communal production relations are established in Factories, Democratic-Communal organizations develop in Neighborhoods, Cities and countries, must be a future project that must be protected against all sovereign powers. The crowning of trade unions, cooperatives, political parties and civil society organizations with Democratic-Socialism will make it possible for the global system to fail in the fourth war of sharing. Because exploitation is global, liberation must also be global. The future of humanity lies not in the dark wars of capital, but in the common solidarity of Peoples, in the Liberation of Labor and in Equality becoming a Global value.
