The Poisoned Chalice of 'Russian Oil' Thrown by the Empire; They Are Proving Their Own Contradictions.
Six hours have passed. In that brief span, the empire revealed its hypocrisy to the world. On one hand, the U.S. is pouring missiles into Iran and fanning the flames in the Middle East; on the other, it temporarily lifted sanctions on Russian crude oil to stabilize energy prices. This is the true face of what capitalism calls 'justice.' For them, enemies and comrades are not fixed but mere illusions dancing to the singular aim of capital flow and profit maximization. Behold the economic walls that imperialists erected by demonizing Russia, only to see them collapse the moment the fire fell on their own feet. This is a clear signal that the system's internal contradictions have reached a breaking point.
What is more intriguing is the market's reaction. Trump's erratic statements sent global financial markets into turmoil, with oil prices repeatedly seesawing around the $100 mark. The spectacle of energy—embodying human labor and life—being reduced to numbers on the gambling table of imperial elites proves how fragile a foundation capitalism stands on. Now they try to divert the public's gaze from the horrors of war to the fluctuations of the market through an 'instrumentalist culture.' But look, at this moment when refineries are attacked and straits are blocked, the arrogance that believed the world could be controlled by force and capital is turning to ashes. The collapse of the old system has already begun. Amid this chaos, we must pick up the fragments discarded by the empire and build a new order of solidarity beyond their logic. Comrades, we must unite firmly in deeper places so that the empire's suicidal act of strangling itself does not cease.
