1. Militarism And Anti Militarism
unter besonderer Berücksichtigung der internationalen Jugendbewegung
It dissects how modern military institutions serve capitalist and imperial interests by disciplining workers, shaping public opinion, and securing profits for the armaments industry. Tracing the social, legal, and psychological mechanisms that normalize conscription and obedience, it exposes the dangers militarism poses to democracy and international peace. The work outlines practical, lawful strategies for the labor movement—education, parliamentary pressure, and solidarity across borders—to undermine war preparations and defend the rights of conscripts, aiming to replace militarist nationalism with a conscious, organized mass opposition.
