## Resource

As taken from 'The big lie - Imperialism on Trial' ( • The big lie - Imperialism on Trial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tQm9RVUKjQ&list=WL&index=1 ) War between imperialist countries and between imperialist and non-imperialist countries is inevitable for the simple fact that imperialism must seek out profits without restriction and no matter the cost. As Stalin writes: "“But, all the same, it will not be enough to eliminate the inevitability of wars between capitalist countries generally. It will not be enough, because, for all the successes of the peace movement, imperialism will remain, continue in force — and, consequently, the inevitability of wars will also continue in force. To eliminate the inevitability of war, it is necessary to abolish imperialism.” J.V. Stalin, Economic Problems of Socialism in the U.S.S.R., section “Inevitability of Wars Between Capitalist Countries” ______________________________________________ Subscribe! Donate!
