R. Palme Dutt: The British ruling class are not fighting to liberate the people of Europe from fascism and reaction. They have always been, for a century and a-half, the main stranglers of every popular revolution in every country. The war aims of Churchill, for which the British workers; are asked to die, are the war aims of British imperialism; to protect and maintain the domination of the British Empire over a-quarter of the world; to smash the rival German imperialism and inflict a new super-Versailles; to maintain the reactionary interests of capitalist class rule against the world Socialist Revolution. There is nothing they fear more than a real popular revolution in Europe, which they know would lead to the victory of Socialism. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote8444
