A “Stalin Peace Prize” was developed in the USSR post-1945 to counter the corruption inherent in the Scandinavian Nobel Prize – particularly in light of the fact that Sweden and Norway were occupied by Nazi Germany during WWII (with many thousands of Scandinavian men volunteering for Hitler’s “SS” Divisions that killed so many millions in the Soviet Union and elsewhere). Following Khrushchev’s betrayal of Stalin in 1956 – the Stalin Peace Prize was replaced with the “Lenin Peace Prize” – with those having previously won it demeaned as receiving an award from a working-class leader the capitalist West hated. Indeed, like Portugal, Sweden (although officially “neutral” doing WWII) surreptitiously supported Nazi Germany by supplying important raw materials (such as oil) to the Hitlerite war machine. Like Amnesty International, the Nobel Prize is nothing but an instrument of capitalist aggression and imperialist war. It a typically “inverted” manner – the Nobel Prize facilitates war between human groupings – whilst ridiculously claiming it is pursuing the exact opposite of its true intention. The Nobel Prize creates the conditions for bourgeois war whilst claiming the killing it is encouraging is the genuine bedrock of world-peace. If the Nobel Prize was an individual – he or she would be detained for severe mental health issues. Sweden and Norway have absolutely NOTHING to teach the world about “peace” and the very fact that the Nobel Prize has chosen to empower the most far-right President the US has ever elected – speak volumes!
