| Summary: | While political science has probed the ideological, political, economic, and even psychological motivations behind the drive to war, socialist theory has made a unique contribution by highlighting the relationship between the development of capitalism and war.There is a long and rich tradition of the Left’s opposition to militarism that dates back to the International Working Men’s Association. It is an excellent resource for understanding the origins of war under capitalism and helping leftists maintain our clear opposition to it.In this article, the author examines the position of all the main currents (socialist, social-democratic, communist, anarchist, feminist) and intellectuals (Engels, Kropotkin, Malatesta, Jaurès, Luxemburg, Lenin, Mao, Khrushchev) of the left on the war and its different declinations (“war of defense”, “just war”, “revolutionary war”). |
