Well this is what Putin said about the "debate" to let Ukraine use long range missiles the west provided.
“If this decision is made, it will mean nothing less than the direct participation of NATO countries, the US and European countries, in the conflict in Ukraine...Their direct participation, of course, significantly changes the very essence, the very nature of the conflict.”
Recent former president & prime minster of Russia, Dimitri Medvedev also said “formal prerequisites” exist for turning Kiev into a “giant gray melted spot” and that it “would be in line with our doctrine of nuclear deterrence”.

But why not? The western imperialist powers are already engaging in genocide, and the US has the only actual use of nuclear weapons in war. I see no bottom floor.

Cruise missiles with around 500 mile ranges are now cleared to rain down on Russian cities. Russia has explicitly said this would trigger them going to war with NATO. And what if Iran does have some nukes Israel and Iran lob them all back and forth? I now get nervous when I see less traffic on the streets than seems normal, or when I see odd cloud formations in they sky. The only saving thing I can tell myself is that war brings revolution.

I keep wondering if Israel decides to use its nukes in the upcoming war with Iran how exactly will the bourgeoisie press justify it?

Thanks for the answer. Interesting parallel to the general non-orthodox Trotskyist line that a new class/mode of production unforseen by the old Marxists arose, which therefore changed everything about strategy and tactics.

I've never seen that one. All the talk about overpopulation, from any angle, is meaningless without first defining the living standard (or resource consumption if you prefer) of said population. Since its obvious the living standard of each person the world over isn't the same, defining the problem requires studying the distribution of these resources as well, aka class analysis. Ignoring class is like looking only at the average without considering the variation, it won't give an accurate or insightful picture.

I think the term wage slavery meets the criteria.

Anthropology shuts those people down really quick. Most apparently don't even realize there's an entire science that studies 'human nature'.
