War is always an economic event. It is promoted by a nation's wealthy ruling elite in an effort to secure more riches for themselves. The solution is socialism.

War is a Racket
by Major-General Smedley Butler

War is just a racket. A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of people. Only a small inside group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few at the expense of the many.

I believe in adequate defense at the coastline and nothing else. If a nation comes over here to fight, then we'll fight. The trouble with America is that when the dollar only earns 6 percent over here, then it gets restless and goes overseas to get 100 percent. Then the flag follows the dollar and the soldiers follow the flag.

I wouldn't go to war again as I have done to protect some lousy investment of the bankers. There are only two things we should fight for. One is the defense of our homes and the other is the Bill of Rights. War for any other reason is simply a racket.

There isn't a trick in the racketeering bag that the military gang is blind to. It has its "finger men" to point out enemies, its "muscle men" to destroy enemies, its "brain men" to plan war preparations, and a "Big Boss" Super-Nationalistic-Capitalism.

It may seem odd for me, a military man to adopt such a comparison. Truthfulness compels me to. I spent thirty- three years and four months in active military service as a member of this country's most agile military force, the Marine Corps. I served in all commissioned ranks from Second Lieutenant to Major-General. And during that period, I spent most of my time being a high class muscle- man for Big Business, for Wall Street and for the Bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism.

I suspected I was just part of a racket at the time. Now I am sure of it. Like all the members of the military profession, I never had a thought of my own until I left the service. My mental faculties remained in suspended animation while I obeyed the orders of higher-ups. This is typical with everyone in the military service.

I helped make Mexico, especially Tampico, safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefits of Wall Street. The record of racketeering is long. I helped purify Nicaragua for the international banking house of Brown Brothers in 1909-1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for American sugar interests in 1916. In China I helped to see to it that Standard Oil went its way unmolested.

During those years, I had, as the boys in the back room would say, a swell racket. Looking back on it, I feel that I could have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents.

Yes there is a solution for war.

Extinction of the human race.

As long as there are people there will be some form of warfare involved on some level.

There will always be someone who is willing to use force to get what they want, and there will always be those who have to train, equip, and prepare to fight those people.

Add in governing organizations and then it gets even more complicated.

You can take away governments and then there would be anarchy, and warfare would still exist.

War is evil, but sometimes it is the lesser of two evils.

There's only one: winning. Or diplomacy, but once the war starts it's usually too late for that. Diplomacy during a war is a fancy way of asking for some time to regroup.

Victory (or defeat), either way it's over. Any other solution doesn't work (the Armistice of WWI led to WWII), and we still have issues with North Korea over 50 years after that armistice.

Kill everyone else. That's the only way war will ever be prevented. War is a fact of life, you might as well get used to that.
