“曾经是伟大辉煌而今仍然相当可观的英帝国,以它的威力、尊严、统治地位和权力,竟然不得不担心我们是否能支付每月的开支,这种景象确实悲惨。想到这一点我心如刀割。”这是最近卸任的英国前首相邱吉尔先生为英国的没落所发出的悲鸣。我们知道,在第一次世界大战期间社会主义革命首先在俄国胜利以来,资本主义总危机不断发展。第二次世界大战以后,这种危机进一步加深了。资本主义总危机的重要征象之一,是殖民制度发生危机而开始瓦解。英国既然是一个“永远没有日落”的庞大的殖民国家,既然它的整个社会经济结构都建筑在对殖民地剥削的基础上,殖民制度的瓦解当然不能不使它受到致命的打击。另一方面,英国的危机又是一个寄生性的世界帝国的危机。目前,垄断资本主义的动力是追求最大限度的利 “It was indeed a miserable tragedy for the British Empire, once a magnificent and still considerable one, with the power, dignity, dominance and power that actually had to worry about whether we could pay for it every month. ”This is the tragedy sent by the late former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill to Britain’s decline. We know that since the socialist revolution first won in Russia during the First World War, the general crisis of capitalism continued to develop. After World War II, the crisis further deepened. One of the most important signs of the general crisis of capitalism is the collapse of the colonial system in the event of a crisis. Since the United Kingdom is a huge colonial country with “never sunset”, since its entire social and economic structure is based on the exploitation of the colonies, the collapse of the colonial system can not but of course make it a fatal blow. On the other hand, the crisis in Britain is again a crisis of a parasitic world empire. At present, the motivation for monopoly capitalism is the pursuit of maximum profits
