As the Pentagon gains approval for yet another record-breaking budget, the editors examine a perennial question: Why does the United States oligarchy need such an outsized military machine in the modern era? The answer is found in the current era of naked imperialism, accompanied, as always with deadly militarism.

J. Foster
Historical materialism, in the dominant twentieth-century narrative in the West, is understood as confined to social sciences and humanities. However, John Bellamy Foster writes, Marx and Engels did not have such a limited conception, instead engaging with the natural sciences, providing insight into the dialectics of nature.

Rahul Varman
The success of the telecommunications industry in India has been heralded as a "miracle." But a miracle for whom? The answer, Rahul Varman writes, has clearly been the capitalist class, who, over three decades, have amassed tremendous wealth and power through the machinations of large firms, in collusion with the Indian government.

Tim Beal, Gregory Elich
First published in 1952, I. F. Stone's Hidden History of the Korean War was a stunning indictment of the U.S. war machine and the mass media's unquestioning acceptance of the government's deception. In their new introduction, Tim Beal and Gregory Elich explore Hidden History's continuing relevance to current events, including the rapidly escalating New Cold War.

This month, MR editors examine elements of the New Cold War rarely discussed in the mainstream media: the U.S. sabotage of the Nord Stream pipeline, which ensured Europe's continued reliance on U.S. natural gas, and U.S. plans to transport B61-12 nuclear warheads to locations within striking distance of Russian targets.

Fred Magdoff, John Bellamy Foster
The working class is being robbed, both through outright expropriation and the more hidden exploitation of countless workers who are struggling to make ends meet while capitalists pocket the surplus value they produce. John Bellamy Foster and Fred Magdoff dissect the neoliberal assault on the working class that is spurring a new generation of labor organizing.

Harry Magdoff, Paul M. Sweezy
In this prescient article from 1995, former MR editors Harry Magdoff and Paul M. Sweezy show that, through their own profligacy, the ruling classes have lost their capacity for political rule. The way forward, Magdoff and Sweezy write, is an "organized, militant struggle," and with victory necessarily leading to the overthrow of capitalist rule.
