Think of the new Libya as the latest spectacular chapter in the Disaster Capitalism series. Instead of weapons of mass destruction, we had R2P ("responsibility to protect"). Instead of neo-conservatives, we had humanitarian imperialists.

in the time remaining, to help us understand how the man-made system of capitalism will lead to the extinction of our human species, and so many others.
