The business of America is business...and that business is war! Now to the bitter diner of consequences, at a galop, on the 4 horses of the apocalypse...so glad you refer to Marx. Don't forget Lenin who predicted it even better in his small pamphlet "Imperialism the last stage of capitalism" 1917, so much d'actualité.

Turns out it's rather a long pamphlet but will add it to the list. Cheers, JMcL

Good article. I disagree though, with "If things were bad in 1946, they’re worse now". Not a good comparison. 1946, WWII war over. The world started reconstruction. The Marshall plan. The UN etc etc.

The war US/Israel versus Iran has less than 2 months. Nobody really knows what's next. Most of your future scenarios are hypotheses. Let's hope for the better.

Thanks

Incompetent egotrippers rule the world...

We need to be able to explain why there are so many in positions of power today. They have always been around but the system seemed to be able to keep them under control. Now, no control. 50 yrs ago, Trump would never have got in. I see it as a product of neoliberalism, which is, of course, late stage imperialist capitalism. Big topic, would you like a project?

Im partly on that project already.

The Isreal lobby is one big reason. Being part of the Epstein class is another.

Then there is a organisation called Young Global Leaders

That is one of the projects that came out of WEF, Claus Schwab was a scolar of Kissnger...

WEF + Lobby + sprinkles out of Epsteins bedroom have created all kinds of highly incompetent yes-men politicians

But there is also the EU... Where all these clowns go next. Ursula, Kallas,

And NATO,

Stoltenberg, Rutte,

All yes-men who play for the lobby.

Exposing them is one thing, but to get on a different track is mind wrecking.

After a massive burnout I lost the means to really get anywhere with this. Financially and part trauma related.

But as so many people are about to end in such a position I may have the advantage of doing the research. Yet, I still don't see a real alternate option. I have heaps of ideas, but money is a showstopper, law is one, and ignorant people that should not matter can do more damage then most people can imagine just by playing for the enemy without having a clue.

As a result of that im not having a local network to speak of. Cant trust people who are not serious informed.

Online I find many people who have comparable crap on their plate, but they all live far away.

So it feels like sitting on an island. But still under the rules of the system.

A surreal dystopian hi-tech island whitout an income, but with a lot of taxes. And big corporations shift billions around on this island without paying any tax.

But I cant migrate. While migrants take over the island.

I survive just fine, but its not a life to write home about...

Ok way to much personal data, to share on shitstream media.

But it may inspire others who are swimming in the same crap. :-)
