The European Union is the biggest neoliberal experience in the world, and NATO is their lapdog.
Neoliberalism is all about dissociating the economic policy from the democracy, and any countries that adhere to the Euro gives up of its own economical policy sovereignty.
Not only a country must give up, but also adhere to liberal principles, which takes precedence during economic turmoil.
The austerity measure is to reduce the spending so a county can service its public debt, which represents the value of the Euro.
So, if Greece and another Eurozone country defaults, this currency might be in jeopardy, so is the well-being of the bourgeoisie.
Inside the European Union there are Imperialist countries, who enforce their Imperialists' goals by ruining the working class of another country.
Take a look at Greece and, more recently, the UK. The working class of those countries will pay dearly for propping up the bourgeoisie's well being.
So the Troika, the focal point of this neoliberal experience, will put stiff resistance and beat those countries into submission.
Even worse, the population of the countries that are not under fiscal restraints will approve this behaviour, as they are led to believe that a to-be defaulted country is riding on their backs.
Even the working class is led to this erroneous believe.
Not only, if those countries are successful, it will be a very painful hit on neoliberalism, one that the bourgeoisie isn't willing to pay, and they'll punish the working class.
So, even amongst the workers, they sow competition: the German worker will pay dearly if the Greeks default, if the Britons succeed, and the German worker is led to believe that they should enforce the neoliberalism type of governance over others, as they are subjected to this policy themselves.
It's cruelty.
To defend the European Single Market, as a neoliberal experience, is to be blind to the suffering of the working class, is to sow competition between the working class.
It's diametrically opposed to a very dearly lesson of Marx for a communist: "workers of the world, unite!".
NATO is their lapdog, it's the same as the army is to a capitalistic country: a bunch of expendable young persons.
I feel nothing but sadness when I see their soldiers dying as they're fellow workers dying for the interest of those who wouldn't think twice about abandoning them.
For the bourgeoisie, soldiers, policeman, firemen are expendable.
The bourgeoisie only praise the sadists and the cowards, after all, those are the ones who are willing to torture people. A very dearly held instrument of capitalism, as we all know.

Today, October 20th, marks the anniversary of Gaddafi’s assassination. Let us recall the words of his will and testament:
I call on my supporters to continue the resistance, and fight any foreign aggressor against Libya, today, tomorrow and always.
Let the free people of the world know that we could have bargained over and sold out our cause in return for a personal secure and stable life. We received many offers to this effect but we chose to be at the vanguard of the confrontation as a badge of duty and honour.
Even if we do not win immediately, we will give a lesson to future generations that choosing to protect the nation is an honour and selling it out is the greatest betrayal that history will remember forever despite the attempts of the others to tell you otherwise.

In October 8, 1997 Kim Jong Il was elected General Secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea. This was an occasion for the Korean people to be single-heartedly united around him more solidly.
Single-hearted unity was his revolutionary philosophy.
He gave a new explanation of the absolute position and decisive role of leader as the top brain of socio-political integrity and the centre of a socio-political collective and on this basis, formulated the theory that the leader is in the centre of the masses of the people and decides everything.
He gave a comprehensive answer to the theoretical basis for achieving the single-hearted unity of society. In other words, full light was given on the driving force and factor of the victorious advance of revolution.
Kim Jong Il raised the single-hearted unity of the Korean society onto a high level.
He believed that comradely love and obligation is none other than unity and that the sincerer and warmer the comradely love is, the purer and solider the single-hearted unity gets. From this viewpoint he defined the revolutionary love as the basis for single-hearted unity. He united all the people across the country into a single family by administering benevolent, all-embracing politics, saying that it was his invariable political philosophy to bring up people with trust and love and turn the whole society into a community of comrades. He explained that a ruling socialist party exists for the good of the people and the mission of the WPK is to work for the people's demand for independence and interests, and paid special attention to rallying broad sections of people around the WPK and developing the WPK into a motherly party which takes responsible care of their destiny. He regarded "The people are my God" as his lifetime motto which now constitutes the fundamental principle of the WPK.
Today the WPK forms a harmonious whole with the masses at the highest level.
Entering the mid-1990s, the manoeuvres to stamp out socialist Korea by the imperialist forces reached the extreme. To cope with this situation, Kim Jong Il enforced Songun politics on a full scale. He named the noble and strong-willed ideo-spiritual traits manifested among the service personnel of the Korean People's Army the revolutionary soldier spirit and on this basis, led the army and people to achieve oneness in their ideology and way of work. Thanks to his leadership, the DPRK achieved the great unity of the army and the people—aiding the army and aiding the people. Consequently, it has displayed its dignity as a country which achieved single-hearted unity of the WPK, the army and the people behind their leader.
The DPRK always emerged victorious in the revolution and construction on the strength of its single-hearted unity under Kim Jong Il's guidance.
It is not a thing in the remote past that the international community was deeply concerned about the "collapse" of socialist Korea. Korea fought alone in confrontation with the allied imperialist forces led by the United States, the "sole superpower" in the world, defending its socialism, and brought about a new epochal turn in its efforts to build a thriving country. The secret behind this miracle is that it has a mighty weapon of single-hearted unity. As it is based on that unity, the DPRK became already an ideological and political power as well as a military power any formidable forces could not dare to attack it. The united strength of its army and people is a decisive cause for propelling forward the country's economic progress.
For the DPRK the closing years of the previous century were the most trying period unprecedented in its history. The Korean army and people, however, braved through the challenges they faced, sharing the same ideology, purpose and way of work. They built hydraulic power stations of various sizes, built or renovated stock-breeding and poultry farms and industrial establishments in great number and face-lifted the appearance of the country by carrying out large-scale land realignment project. In addition, a lot of new villages and streets sprang up in urban and rural areas as befits a socialist paradise.
Today the Korean people are making strenuous efforts to hasten the drive to build an economically powerful, civilised socialist nation, rallied single-heartedly behind Kim Jong Un who is on a par with Kim Jong Il in ideology, leadership and virtues.
