      There are many hypothetical ways. For example, that might prevent further war in the future, or might be the continuation of an existing conflict. It might alter the balance of power in the world in a way that is eventually beneficial to working class struggle.

The fact that you can simply stamp a meme, appeal to emotion and make a huge logic jump without a single word is perplexing.
