European cracks: American roulette kills

The crisis is spreading and deepening. But is it only among the “vassal states”? What is the situation in the ivory towers? In the ivory towers of Berlin, London, Paris, and Brussels?

The media does not show the confrontations within the US much. Nor those within Europe. But it is impossible not to hear the cracks.

Moreover, these are, for now, the initial cracks. Harbingers coming from the depths. We have not yet reached the stage of the foreshock. We are getting there.

The signals are as follows: It is possible for not only Trump and Netanyahu, but also vassals like Friedrich Merz in Germany, Emmanuel Macron in France, and Keir Starmer in the UK to be ousted from power at any moment. These are the politicians whom Oskar Lafontaine—a left-wing social democrat who was declared the most dangerous man in Europe by the British press in 1999, and who went his own way after throwing the SPD chairmanship and the federal finance ministry in the face of Gerhard Schröder and the terrible creature of the Greens, Joschka Fischer—accused in his latest article of showing “dog-like” (hündisch) loyalty to Trump. In his article published in the magazine Die Weltwoche and on social media, Lafontaine describes the German leaders with very clear and great contempt: “There are no politicians in any country in the world who behave like dogs in this way. There can only be one explanation for this pathetic behavior, which is that US intelligence services have material to blackmail these puppets.”

The governments in the major countries of Europe could become history in an instant. The ground beneath their feet is slipping, and they are not aware of it. Good.

But what is happening?

WHILE THE FAULT LINE BREAKS

Let us continue from where we left off the other day: The leaders of the international established order (“the establishment”), even if they are shaky, see themselves as endowed with divine power in the face of the dependent countries they exploit.

If monetary power, wealth, etc., are god, which they are, they are not entirely wrong. But there are limits to this.

Now Iran, I suppose, has begun to show those limits that Yugoslavia, Iraq, Libya, and Syria could not. The US-EU line was not expecting such a response.

We can think that the oppressed, the exploited—that is, the majority—will tolerate these minority vampires only up to a point, that they can carry such irrational madness (irrationalism) only up to a point, and that at that unbearable point, rationality and the intellectual will intervene on behalf of the poor. We learn this from the history of the world and revolution.

We are no longer in an environment of ordinary conflicts.

We have begun to see that the fractures on the Iran-Turkey line will spread a little more every day. Therefore, we must say that the establishment is trying to establish tiny mafia statelets in our region, and that no one has a chance of being a “great country or anything.” Low-level bureaucrats who try to pass off making “tactical alliances” with imperialist centers as leftism to the nation especially have no such chance. When the fault line breaks, they might be granted tiny fiefdoms in a few countries. But for this, Turkey and Iran must first be torn to pieces.

It is slowly becoming clear that they are having a hard time in Iran. We have no reason to think that Turkey will lag behind it.

Governments go, they go, and new surprise progressive governments take the fate of the poor peoples into their hands. That is, the poor take their own destinies into their own hands.

In short: This business does not work with bombs and such.

Atomization is spreading at every level. These are the usual results of the “politics of particles” cooked up in imperialist centers. Irrationality is spreading. Of course, it also feeds the opposite.

There are two issues.

IVORY TOWER BOMBERS

One: Let us look at the richest, the imperial units at the center. Washington, Berlin, Paris, London, etc... These “rich” countries, which appear to have a homogeneous structure when viewed from the outside, will also become unable to maintain their internal integrity. Starting with the US. Well, what about Germany, which we stated is the most important external connection center for Turkey? Let us add for now that 30 percent of this country's population has a “migration background.” A “homogeneous” demographic structure does not emerge from these figures.

This means that we will soon see the results of the bombers sitting in the ivory tower, their stone-throwing, and their bombardments reflecting back on them.

One should not be surprised: If you bombard social structures with all kinds of ethnic, religious, linguistic, sexual, cultural, etc., identity politics, those bombs will begin to explode within you as well. Those who atomize societies in this way and at every level (with ideologies, bombs, etc.) cannot keep people together. As atomization deepens, societies will prefer to live not as large units, but as small units, to become statelets as if they were states.

But Trump and his vassals will try to pass the bill to the poor countries they exploit before entering this path.

Since we are in Europe, let us shine the light there: We cannot think that the disadvantaged segments of capital, as much as the impoverished masses, will constantly nod to the bloody games of the US vassals in power. This servitude will break at some point.

IF THERE IS NO SOCIALIST THREAT...

Two: The dependent majority has a destiny. The ruling elites in these countries, for example Saddam Hussein and many similar ones, including Syria, fell into the delusion that there would be no obstacle in front of their power once they liquidated the communist threat inside. Thus, they prepared their own end. Imperialist centers can now easily collapse any dependent country where the insistence on and program of socialism does not become mass-based. Starting with Yugoslavia, this was the main thing we needed to learn: We are talking about real socialists or communists who care about the independence of their countries, who do not see their republics as an “anomaly,” and who protect secularism and an anti-imperialist stance. Not fake “revolutionaries.”

The end comes quickly for those who root out the communists in the country under any pretext with harsh fascism or soft democratic violence. We have learned well in 35 years how shaky their power is.

Why, you ask?

Because they cannot find enough energy and “effective” actors to resist the games and (naked or intellectual-democratic) violence of the imperialist centers.

Turkey has a very different accumulation in this respect. We are talking about an accumulation that was able to establish a republic 103 years ago, despite that world, which the world did not want.

Anyway... They are all playing American roulette these days.

American roulette is different from Russian roulette. Russian roulette, as is known, is played with a single bullet in a revolver, whereas in American roulette, there is only one empty chamber in the cylinder. Death is something like a guarantee.

Europe is beginning to learn that.
