    You lift the mask off the Military, and it’s Imperialism. Lift the mask again and it’s Capitalism.

        Read about General Smedey Butler. Vet of multiple wars, the most highly decorated man in Marines history, two medals of honour, he had the opportunity to be the US’s first dictator, but was ultimately an anti-war, anti-facist, anti-capitalist pacifist. He perfectly encapsulates how the army andvtge wars they have are just an extension of capitalist interests and act to further the capitalists desires.

          If you said, “Army is beneficial for elites.” I’d be banging the same drum. It’s not unique to capitalism in any way. Communists are just as bad.
