23. War is presented, on the one hand, as a single national undertaking, and on the other hand, as an abnormality, a violation of "peaceful" capitalism etc.

Both illusions are harmful. And both illusions are destroyed by war.

24. "Burgfrieden"{272}, "national bloc", "l'union sacrée"{273} during war??

25. War – a "terrible" thing? Yes. But it is a terribly profitable thing.

160 billion > 60 billion rubles.

Mehrwert = 10–20 billion rubles.

26. "Adaptation" of industry to military conditions.

(Ruin. Rapid concentration.)

27. War and the foundations of capitalism.

"Peaceful democratism", "culture", "legal order" etc. versus the horrors of war??

Wrong.

Private property and exchange.

The pledge of the ruin of some, the pledge and foundation of violence.

28. Colonies and concessions.

"Honest concessionaire"?

"Humane" colonizer?

29. War = a terribly profitable thing

= the direct and inevitable product of capitalism.

30. Harmful illusions are capable only of retarding the struggle against capitalism.
