In this third edition of the booklet "Economic Crisis War and
Revolution" we add three more articles taken from the People’s March
website. The first two appeared in the June 2003 issue of the magazine
while the last appeared in the January 2004 issue of that magazine.
International developments are taking place at such speed, that there
have been major developments since this booklet first appeared in early
2002. So, there is need to update events. Yet most of the predictions
made in that first article are coming out to be true. Primarily the fact
that this economic crisis is deeper than any other in the post World War
II scenario has proved to be correct. Also that this will lead to
growing contention amongst the imperialist powers, with greater
possibilities of wars, has turned out correct. In March 2003 US
imperialism aggressed on Iraq. It then immediately threatened North
Korea, Syria and Iran. Temporarily bogged down in Iraq due to the heroic
resistance of its people, it is at present, quiet on other military
fronts. But its aggressive policies are bound to continue, particularly
as its economic crisis deepens.
We hope these four articles will help the reader get a better insight
into the fast changing world events, in order to understand the dynamics
of what is taking place, and therefore how best to face it. We welcome
comments and any suggestions that will help better the analysis for
future editions.
