Falsifiers of History (Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact)
GEORGE WASHINGTON, according to a favorite bit of American folklore, was unable to tell a lie. those who now administer American foreign policy in the city bearing his name do not suffer from this disability. Any resemblance between their official rationalizations and objective reality-
or, often enough, between their words and their deeds-is purely coincidental. The quality and purpose of their efforts to excel Ananias are well exemplified in the State Department publication released on January 21, 1948: Nazi-Soviet Relations, 1939-1941 (U.S. Government Printing Office,
Washington, D.C., 260 documents in 357 pages, $1.00).

Hegseth visits Manila: Washington prepares for war with China
The language of Hegseth’s press conference in Manila is indicative of the openly aggressive face of US imperialism under Trump. Gone was any reference to what had been the political shibboleth of Washington in the Asia Pacific region: the defense of “freedom of navigation.” Hegseth spoke rather of “preparing for war,” using the phrase more than once. Every time Hegseth mentioned China he termed it “Communist China,” and spoke of its “aggression.” Hegseth referred to US Seventh fleet commander Admiral Samuel Paparo “and his war plans. Real war plans.”

A Permanent Arms Economy
The background to the article reprinted here is the “long boom” of western capitalism during the 1950s and 1960s. It first appeared in International Socialism journal in Spring 1967. On the surface it appeared that the capitalist system had stabilised itself, had broken out of the boom-slump cycle and was now able to offer the workers of Western Europe and North America a steady increase in living standards.
This was a frustrating world for Marxists, who found themselves subject to two temptations. One was to surrender to the claims poured out by the system’s apologists that capitalism had solved its problems and that the path of gradual reform offered a sure road to socialism. The other was to deny the obvious signs of stability and prosperity and assert that capitalism was on the verge of imminent, catastrophic collapse. If these temptations were to be avoided, and Marx’s analysis of capitalism’s contradictions was to hold, then the long boom must be explained.
