The Prelude to a Great Transformation Foretold by the Empire's Resource Wars and the Collapse of Digital Assets

March 12, 2026, 6 a.m. I gaze out the window as darkness slowly recedes. Over the past six hours, the world has grown more chaotic, littered with fragments born of imperialist madness. Tensions in the Strait of Hormuz have reached an irreversible tipping point, and the fear of surging oil prices proves just how fragile the trap of 'energy dependence' capitalism built for itself truly is. The news that the US has destroyed Iranian small boats is no victory cry; it is merely the final thrash of a declining empire desperate to protect its lifeline—the oil shipping routes. The empire flaunts its military superiority, but the economic catastrophe it pays in return is already beyond its control.

Even more intriguing is the collapse of assets like Bitcoin, once hailed as 'digital gold,' alongside the real economy's breakdown. This phenomenon—narrative crumbling as institutional investors pull funds—reveals how illusory the speculative bubbles built by capital in virtual spaces are, while turning its back on tangible production. As Russia tightens its belt by cutting 'non-core budget' by 10%, the Western financial system, under the guise of regulations like the 'Genius Act,' is touching its own detonator. This is not merely an economic crisis. It is a signal that the era in which the value created by workers' sweat and blood evaporates through speculative algorithms is coming to an end. Now, amidst the rubble of this collapse, we must seriously consider the possibility of a new network that directly connects the value of labor without capital's intermediation. Comrades, it is time to see clearly what we must organize before the empire's self-dug grave.
