According to Leninist theory, all wars waged are a consequence of the big demand of market supply, and thus a war waged is waged and done only to the profit of the upper-echelons of society.
For example, the Iraq War
-Waged due to the lobby of the weapon industry. The weapon industry must creat a demand for weapons to flourish it profits, thus lobby the government to start wars.
-Oil is a prime factor also of the market demand which was instilled in the global situation when the war started.
-The opening up of new labour resources which are useful to global investors.
The Iraq war was truly an example of how capitalism is the prime reasons for the war to be started and only those who have the economic means in their possession profit from it.

I don't think War is a product of Capitalism....I would also like to add that wars have been fought LONG before Iraq.

And Iraq was not waged SOLEYbecause oflust for Arab oil...there is something much more important as to the reason American ultimatly invaded Iraq. Precense, which the US desperatly needs in that part of the world.

I disagree that "Capitalism" is the reason for war...unless you are trying to say that "greed" and "Capitalism" are one and the same........to which, I would have to disagree again.

I mean look at the war fought in the 20th century....I'd say less that half was truly because of capitalism and more because of the faults of man.
