The global drive to war and the launch of the World Anti-Imperialist Platform

Why is there so much confusion internationally about the nature of the war in Ukraine? Why do so many socialists insist on labelling Russia and China as imperialist powers, and conflict between those countries and the USA/Nato block as ’interimperialist’? As the economic crisis of global capitalism deepens, the drive to war is going to become ever more pronounced. Understanding the nature of this aggression is key to working out how to respond to it. Comrade Joti Brar gives a Marxist-Leninist’s analysis of the drive to war in addition to an overview of the new global anti-imperialist movement () that was launched in Paris in October explaining what it is, and why it’s needed.
