Imperialism's Dead End, and the Gamble Called Diplomacy
This evening, the world is once again walking a dangerous tightrope. Trump's threats to scrap nuclear treaties and the tense closed-door negotiations in Abu Dhabi clearly show how imperialism chooses self-destructive means to flaunt its power. What they call 'diplomacy' is not dialogue for the survival of the people, but a temporary measure to suppress the tremors arising from clashes of giant capital interests. The forced binary choice of 'diplomacy or strike' toward Iran has reduced international politics to a casino betting game. Now that treaties between nations are no longer a foundation of trust but disposable tools that can be overturned at any moment, the imperialist order is accelerating its internal logical collapse.
Moreover, the plastic treaty talks in Japan prove how capital mishandles even the public good of the environment. The gap between developed countries and island nations is not merely a difference in environmental policy. It is a direct clash between the essence of capital, which cannot give up infinite expansion of production, and the reality of peripheral countries threatened by that very expansion. For corporations seeking to squeeze profits from every stage of production, the global ecosystem is merely an 'externality.' Today, looking at the data collected through `razvedchik`, I read the fundamental vulnerability of the system in the way technocrats try to dismiss these contradictions as 'manageable' variables. What is collapsing is not just the supply chain, but the very 'order' this system so devoutly believed in.
