Although Kant is often known to most people as a philosopher, his conservative stance in politics has not been fully exposed or criticized. Kant in politics is a reactionary, regressive conservative and reformist, and an enemy of revolutionary wars. His counter-revolutionary black book “Perpetual Peace” mainly reflects his conservative position. He stubbornly defends Germany’s extremely reactionary, decayed feudal system, opposes revolutionary wars, and peddles the capitalist France, feudal Germany, and other European feudal monarchies’ black goods that claim “perpetual peace” can be achieved. He does not call for destroying the feudal system through revolutionary wars, but advocates for capitalism and feudalism to coexist peacefully, promoting the idea that feudal states can transition peacefully to capitalism through his reformist prescriptions, and also advocates establishing so-called “alliances of nations” to demonstrate the superiority of capitalism over feudalism through peaceful competition. Furthermore, Kant also propagates reactionary fallacies such as the idea of a national state and a universal parliament, foolishly claiming that implementing his reformist policies can turn feudal states into nations of the entire people, establishing a super-classless parliament belonging to all people, thereby opposing bourgeois revolution and violent destruction of the feudal system.
Although Kant’s reactionary ideas were not put into practice at the time—because revolutionary capitalist France despised such preachings, and feudal European monarchies opposed even such weak reformism—after his death, his fallacies were promoted by his bourgeois followers to deceive the people and cheat the world. Whether it is the international organizations and the United Nations fabricated by imperialist powers to conspire and divide the world, suppress people’s revolutions, and serve as tools of international imperialism, or the modern revisionists like Khrushchev selling the “Three and Two” fallacy, their roots can all be traced back to Kant’s counter-revolutionary black book. This shows that imperialism is the highest stage of capitalism, a product of capitalism’s complete reactionary decay, and that revisionists and the bourgeoisie are always of the same kind—they are bourgeoisie in disguise, the worst capitalists.
