What is politics?
Politics is balancing the interests of social groups and layers.
The groups are the distribution of the population by territories, states, ethnics, types of activity, genders.
The layers is the distribution of the population according to the levels of consumption.
The limitation of Marxism was that only inter-layer contradictions were recognized.
The limitations of fascism lay in the fact that calling for a class peace, group conflicts, namely, territorial, state and ethnic contradictions, were put forward in the first place.
In the early stages of the historical process, there were constant wars between the first tribal associations for land, slaves and robberies, i.e. overcoming intergroup contradictions.
This led to the absorption of most of the tribes by the most powerful of them. Thus, the empires of Alexander the Great, Genghis Khan, Mohammed, and others were formed.
Thus, the reason for the emergence of empires is to protect their territory and further expansion. This reason continues to this day. To extinguish, in the empire, internal territorial and ethnic contradictions, internal territorial self-government is allowed - dominions.
There are currently two empires and a third is being born.
The first of these is the United States, which includes such dominions as Canada, Great Britain, the European Union and the rest of Europe, Japan, Australia and other small states around the world, as well as colonies such as Ukraine, directly controlled from Washington.
The second is the Russian Federation, which is on the defensive.
Even her former dominions seek to defect to the side of a wealthier enemy.
The third emerging world empire is China.
The logic of the development of these empires remains the same - protection and expansion.
Let's see who will take?
