Monstrous Anger of the Guns: How the Global Arms Trade is Ruining the World & What We Can Do About It. A book by Jeremy Corbyn & co.
Explores the destructive impact of the global arms trade on conflict, poverty, and human rights. The book argues that the flow of weapons to war-torn regions fuels violence and instability, enriching arms dealers while perpetuating suffering. It critiques the role of governments, multinational corporations, and international policies in enabling this trade. The author advocates for stricter regulations, greater transparency, and international cooperation to combat arms proliferation and promote peace, highlighting the need for a collective effort to end this global crisis.
The themes in *Monstrous Anger of the Guns* and the see yourself both emphasise the need for unity, love, and liberation in the face of a fragmented, often violent world. While the former critiques the global arms trade as a force that divides humanity and perpetuates suffering, the latter calls for embracing our shared humanity, transcending differences, and acting with love and compassion. Both highlight that true freedom and progress lie in collective responsibility—whether through dismantling systems of harm (like the arms trade) or recognising the significance of life and love as forces that can heal and unite. In both cases, the message is clear: we must move beyond division and oppression, choosing liberation and solidarity for the greater good.
