Dimitris Konstantakopoulos — Τhe structural, fundamental factors pushing Western Capitalism into producing Totalitarianism and War

More weekend reading.

Longish, but the author has it about right in my view. 

While Konstantakopoulos is a self-identified Marxist, he asserts that his analysis is based on logic and observation, and while informed by a Marxist perspective, it stands on its own merits. I would largely agree with that.

The historical dialectic is headed in a very dangerous direction, and the danger is existential given modern weaponry.

Fort Russ — Former Prime Minister of France: "The Americans are going too far"

Imperial overreach. Just as Charles de Gaulle warned and Gaullists continue to hold. Maybe more agree now, especially with the recent revelations about espionage.
