It appears that we are entering a new stage in inter-capitalist gang competition for world dominance.
...as much as the US may fight the emergence of a multipolar, multi-powered world, economic facts on the ground regularly point to such developments. The question remains: will the decline of the hegemon be slow and reasonably dignified, or will the whole world be dragged down with it in what has been called "the Samson option"?With so many neoconservatives playing important roles in our ruling class, I wouldn't rule out "the Samson option".
So, my fellow humans across the planet, it looks like we are caught between the devil of inter-capitalist gang wars and the deep blue sea of climate destabilization. If one doesn't kill us all off, the other one will...unless, of course, we take matters in our own hands.
