Preemptive Strikes

Marxism can be applied to everything from war to social constructs. 1. Change comes best when it is aided from the outside and stopped from the outside. When the working class of Czechoslovakia were being threatened with privatization and reform with in the government in 1968, many socialist nations banded together to block capitalist elements from entering Czechoslovakian society. Allowing such change without intervening would have opened a large wound on the working class in Czechoslovakia. This also could have been another battleground in the future were there could have been a bloody civil war. Sometime change is impossible within due to an overpowering government so an external force needs to aid in the conflict like the Vietnamese liberation of Democratic Kampuchea which I will talk about in point number two. 2. Some intervention backfires but not all. When the wrong type of intervention happens ie. United States Interventionism in the Soviet attempted liberation of Afghanistan when the United States supplied the Mujahideen where it would later backfire on the Afghani people with harsh Sharia and the later 9/11 attacks. But there are those times when intervention prevented further destruction like in the country and internationally such as the Vietnamese liberation of Democratic Kampuchea. Without this intervention, Pol Pot would have murdered millions more but the Vietnamese invasion halted Pol Pot and forced him out of the country. The country would later return to a stable but heartbroken nation. 3. Preemptive strikes even threatening preemptive strikes prevent possible war. Earlier this year, when the United States and its allies were gearing up for war over the Democratic People's Republic of Korea's launching of a satellite, the Kwangmy!5;ngs!5;ng-3 Unit 2 and the test of a nuclear weapon in an underground facility with in the country, the people of the DPRK united to send a message to the U.S. stating that if the U.S. and R.O.K. continue with their threatening military activity across the 38th Parallel that they would strike first. The DPRK would later cancel their ceasefire which was signed July 27, 1953 to give the allusion that they were preparing to launch a strike at the Southern half. This would later cause the military drills to cease, peace would be reinstated, and a war was avoided by threatening a preemptive strike. 4. Pacifism damages the international proletariat Sitting back and allowing injustice to slide damages the people. If a country during the 1930s had caught on to the injustice in Nazi Germany, the 8 million or more deaths that were caused by the Nazi government could have been 100% preventable and those people could have lived out the rest of their lives. This alone is all I need to fight pacifism. 5. Preemptive strikes prevent further causalities and long wars. I will back track all the way back to 480 BC, if it wasn't for the Spartans march to Thermopylae to fight King Xerxes I's force there wouldn't have been a large dent in King Xerxes I's force to make him rethink an invasion. This would later buy the various Greek civilizations precious time to amass a considerable army to remove the Persians from Greek territory. If this preemptive strike hadn't been done, many Greek and Persian lives would have been lost. Unlike my opponent who decided to copy and paste everything, all of the words I have written above are 100% original. I implore my opponent in the next round to use his own words.
