In this talk from the REVOLUTION 2016 Marxist festival in London, Niklas Albin Svensson discusses the Marxist perspective on war, analysing the various positions taken by Marx, Engels, Lenin and Trotsky in relation to the wars seen throughout the 19th and 20th Century.

What is the relationship between capitalism, imperialism and war? What demands should Marxists pose in relation to wars? And what is the perspective for a Third World War today?
