The Sparta 2.0 paper identifies ten strategic capability gaps, prioritizes key programs, and puts the cost of European sovereignty in the security and defense sector at approximately €50 billion per year
First Russia must be brought down, and the USA must urgently be freed from fascism. I honestly wouldn’t mind the balkanisation of Russia, at least to the extent that Russia can only stand up to China, but not to Europe. Russia must be given a ‘way out’ of the war, but this way must be its defeat.
It is vital that Europe does not antagonise the US, and Russia, and China, all at the same time, yet takes a firm stance backed by force. I hate it, but I think China is the most reliable we have for now, together with the antifascist bulwarks in the US. We must support those and foster them, while crushing that hateful imperialism around us.
That means fostering democracy, reinvigorating its flame into the US and Russia. Though, this time it must be a people’s democracy, not one of oligarchs and bourgeoise, but one for all; a true democracy.
Otherwise, the longer the Rust Belt, rural farmers, and urban citizens, all part of the wider proletariat, are exploited by the elite for their own gain, the harder the elite will face its own downfall. And while I do not find a Jacobinite treatment of the elite to be an issue, I think it is problematic if these people, who long have been played by their landlords, oil and gas industries, instead funnel their frustration towards us - who should be their allies against bringing the elite down. These MAGA hats must be made to understand that it in fact, is the elite and their hatred who have fooled them all along in supporting the downfall of the US.
Only through antifascism, socialism, and communism, can the US prosper. Universal healthcare is cheaper for all Americans. Universal education is a must for all Americans. Universal housing is not just an achievement, but an obligation to all. Freedom is liberation from capitalism.
