Military-industrial complexes against disarmement

The article taken over from the French periodical M, starts out from the known role of the military-industrial complexes in the world's life and examines how these organisations reacted to the crisis of trade of their products. These reactions are in line with the general trends of capital: the emergence of national capital centres in the third world, European integration. The author refers to the unfavourable effects of the military industry in the capitalist economy itself, and urging a transition to a peace economy, he states that the ultimate solution is rejection of the capitalist idea and together with it, the war culture; exclusion of the principle of violence from the attitude of the socialist movements as well.

Who will be kidnapped by the National Independent Democratic RAF?

The European multinational concerns are preparing for union and within that for swallowing the whole of Eastern Europe because only this way will they stand up to the increasingly sharp rivalry between Europe and the USA. For this reason, a RAF-type future Hungarian extremist terrorist organisation would land in a difficult situation if it wanted to assassinate the person responsible for the optimal returns of the total Hungarian capital.

Social struggle and violence

Seeking the new image of the left wing movement, the authors argue that – in contrast to the traditions – the acceptance of violence has to be excluded from it. They list the onthological elements of violence and the main social mechanisms that produce violence. They establish a relationship between the theory of revolutionary violence and the idealisation of the working class and finally discuss the possibility of linking the absence of violence and a revolutionary attitude towards society.
