Class-struggle versus race-struggle

The struggle of the classes and the struggle of the races are the two primary ideologies of the 20th century. These two ideologies manifested in states with imperial designs that came to blows in the middle of the century and triggered the Second World War. The military theater of WWII was fought not between Central Europe and Western Europe but between Central Europe and Eastern Europe. Furthermore, the ideological theater of WWII did not center on the Anglo-American way of thinking but centered rather on class-struggle versus race-struggle, on Russian (socialist) versus German (fascist) thinking. 

The Industrial Revolution and capitalism as it progressed into imperialism had clearly set the underlying historical stage for the battle between these two struggle-based ideologies; and without a doubt England and America were the two great Western Europe international powerhouses of the century. They together fulfilled the duties of empire in the leadership of the world at the time. Those imperial duties and the efficacy of the capitalist system had gone down on their knees, however, during the thirties and the pretenders to replace England and America as world leaders slugged it out on the European continent between Russia and Germany in Central versus Eastern Europe. 

The primary ideology of the last quarter of the 20 century and the first segment of the 21 century is the struggle between the corporate sector versus the citizen sector. The terror war is a derivative of the push to corporate power in its various formulations – entrepreneurial, state capital, sovereign funds, etc.
