NATO has been led by many Nazis who fought for Nazi Germany in WWII, such as Adolf Heusinger. The connections with Nazi Germany are clear, because the West was always more friendly with the Nazis pre-WWII and post-WWII than they were with, say, the Soviets. It was the Western Powers’ greatest hope that they would destroy each other. For more information on this, I suggest reading Blackshirts and Reds. US bombers, for instance, were told to ignore US factories in Nazi Germany.
Moreover, the image makes reference to Imperialism, the Highest Stage of Capitalism, arguably Lenin’s most valuable contribution to Leftist analysis. In this analysis, in order to fight the Tendency for the Rate of Profit to Fall through competition, Capitalists must raise absolute profits, and they must do so by expanding internationally and super-exploiting the Global South. NATO represents a millitary alliance of the most guilty of this practice, to help maintain this brutal system of extraction from the Global South. Michal Parenti’s 1986 Speech, often titled “Yellow Parenti,” has an excellent overview of said process.
I need a little context. NATO is not great, but I don’t think it as bad as Nazi Germany.
