Losing Game or Trojan Horse? War as a Suppression Tool, 2

And I’m not talking about the usual middle level, the next−door politicians and gunrunners: we already know those little criminal scroungers need to feed themselves some burned dead flesh, so they are already included into our previously mentioned profit and loss account. I’m hinting at an entirely different, higher level of criminals. I’m hinting at war as another one of those Trojan horses for that new robbing scheme mentioned before; the moneypulators and their partners in crime wonder: How do we steal more freedom from people in order to steal more purchasing power from them? How do we steal more purchasing power from people in order to steal more freedom from them? Well, actually, I don’t think this robbing scheme’s features qualify it as “new” – with the exception of its order of magnitude…

War is the demonstration of the ethics of greatest benefit for all, the demonstration that sincere and honest cooperation is the system producing the greatest outcome. It demonstrates it by showing its opposite. Imagine a world at war, where anyone ends up devoted to betrayal instead of help: sooner or later thieves would exterminate producers, then there would not be product to steal any more, then thieves would end up eating each other up, then the last survived thieves would starve to death in the desert, and that would be the pinnacle of dog−eat−dog humanoid evolution.

But this medal has a second face, too: war is the most expensive insanity that exists. On both sides, nothing constructive gets built, everything gets destroyed, and all this in exchange for the highest imaginable cost. Now, do you think this is but sheer waste? When you look at during−the−war and post−war landscapes, do you think that all that was there and now is broken or destroyed simply went down the drain?
