Who is man fighting for?

War is a historical category and a product of the development of human society to a certain stage. In the early days of primitive society, mankind experienced a historical period without war. With the development of population in clan society, the means of survival are limited by the information provided by natural conditions. In order to survive, people have to migrate to other areas, which often infringes on the economic interests of other clans, thus leading to the earliest form of war in human society, that is, the war at the end of primitive society.

With the emergence of private ownership and class, class social war appeared. This kind of war is essentially different from the war at the end of primitive society: it is no longer directly related to the production process, but becomes the continuation of a certain class political struggle; Not all members of social groups participate, but mainly professional troops established to safeguard class interests; It not only takes natural resources as the object of plunder, but also takes the material wealth created by people and even labor itself as the object of plunder; It not only plunders wealth and resources, but also oppresses and exploits other social groups or individuals.

In the final analysis, the war in class society is an armed struggle between the state, the nation, the political group and the political group for their respective political and economic interests. As a product of the development of human society to a certain stage, war will surely die with the development of human society. With the unity of people all over the world, with the elimination of private ownership and class, war will automatically withdraw from the historical stage.

War is a social phenomenon and a "frequent communication form" which is inseparable from social material production. All historical conflicts are rooted in the contradiction between production and communication forms. Marx used the facts of class struggle in France from 1848 to 1850 to illustrate how economic interests pushed the French bourgeoisie onto the road of war of internal repression and foreign aggression. All wars are basically for very clear material class interests.

Theory of class struggle.

To measure the nature of war, we must first see that the war is to promote social progress, that is, to promote the demise (or weakening) of the reactionary system and to promote the establishment of a new and more progressive system; Or hinder social progress, that is, lead to the consolidation of the reactionary system and stifle the birth of a new and more progressive system, there is no other standard. According to this standard, wars are divided into two categories, namely, progressive, revolutionary, liberation and defensive wars and reactionary, predatory, aggressive and offensive wars.

Violence is the midwife who breeds a new society in every old society. Because of its own injustice and great destructiveness, war can often intensify social class struggle, thus creating favorable conditions for the proletariat to realize its revolutionary goals. At this time, violence is "a tool for social movements to open the way and destroy rigid and dying political forms." However, war still has its negative side, which is not conducive to the development of revolutionary forces and even directly destroys and destroys revolutionary movements. We should be highly vigilant against attempts to use war to hinder and undermine the development of revolutionary movements.
