Hi all.

I, like many people here, am sick of perpetual warfare. I have an idea. What if all the anti-war people in the world joined forces?

This would be an uneasy alliance, given that socialists, communists, anarchists, libertarians, paleoconservatives and fascists would be standing side-by-side. Of course, we could dismantle the military-industrial complex once and for all with an alliance like this.

Who's with me?

Sounds great. And if anyone disagrees, we can kill them.

...dismantle the military-industrial complex once and for all...

Something like that was tried back in the '60s when people stuck flowers in the ends of gun barrels.

Dismantling the major military powers around the globe would just leave everyone vulnerable to clandestine groups, some of which might then quickly rise to great power by giving military people without jobs something to do.

They seem to be concerned with American hegemony.
