War

From ProleWiki, the proletarian encyclopedia

War is an intense armed conflict between classes, nations, states, or political groups. It is the highest form of resolving contradictions and has existed since the beginning of private property and class society.[1] It did not exist in the Paleolithic period before the beginning of classes.[2] War between capitalist countries is inevitable as long as capitalism exists.[3]
