What have the British capitalists to gain from such a conflict? Your coverage of the dispute has assumed that the UK is an ascendent imperialist out to defend and a crease Territorial of key Control parts of the globe.
Similarly, Brian Grogan's analysis Aprill quotes Trotsky in 1938 with a hypothetical analoav ot a war between Brazil and the UK would support downtrodden Brazil, in order to unleash the dynamics of socialist revolution.
The real weakness this scheme, of course, is that vou are mechanistical. ly plucking out formulas trom a bygone age and debate and trying to impose them on a more complex and changed reality.
Britain's foreign policy sunce 1945, excepting the Suez aberration, has been one of rapid de-colonisation. Indeed key Tory Macleod and Carrington example, have built successtul careers out of getting rid of the Empire as quickly and cheaply as possible.
They have understood the necessity of a rapid transition Empire backed by big conventional forces, to a more modest nuclear role for Britain under the US umbrella. Yet, if we accept Grogan's analysis UK being a traditional imperialist on subjugating Argentina as correct, now can Socialist Challenge possibly explain the universal rapture that Carrington's 'Rhodesian solution'!
this solution was featured by the coming to power 'Marxist government'. For Thatcher the name of the game is saving face — imperialist aggrandisement.
Socialists have to clear, a victory for Galtieri means strengthening Tne Junta and no-one else. Ironicallv. a victorv for the task force could well lead to destabilising the junta, stimulate workers' opposi military rule. and create better conditions for the islanders to exercise their right to self-determination which surely must be the key principal involved for all socialists.
