wasn't that lenin's argument? i've never read much of lenin, but i seem to recall an essay (what is to be done? maybe?) where he argues that the financial meltdowns associated with capitalist boom/bust cycles will require the foremost capitalist nations to engage in constant warfare to prop themselves up. it was the task of the revolutionary to oppose war b/c it was in opposition to war that you could a advanced movement that traversed national boundaries. (efforts in other realms, such as anti-poverty, labor movement, and whatnot would never produce an advanced revolutionary consciousness.) hazy memory of reading something like that, so if anyone can correct me i'd appreciate it.
