pinky comments elsewhere

this is about whither globalization 
and 
it corporate sponsors

can it revert to a stable period of basic dovery?

or wil it bristle with inter imperial clashes

a clinton esque cartel 
or a falling out into squabbles 
that strain the bonds 
   of pax americana 

===============================



 dearest  mark 

hey fella
  
 why the muddle about muddle?

its really easy

first 
  hawk corporate types
 v dove corporate types

bush v kerry 

 thats struggle
but its still keepin it 
inside  the familly 


one nation one klass disagreements

i see 
   say bobby rubin on one side 
and some oily boy's banker 
                        on the other 
"hawk no dove no hawk no dove"

  ageless tactical questions here
about imperial management 

 not" strategical" as our prez might point out 

the tactics  roll in and roll out
as imperialism respires
hawk dove hawk dove
 jeff mutt jeff mutt  

but there's
 a   second set of contadictions 
between groups
that are 
same klass still

butfuck
 from different big shot nations

between  groups of transnationals 
with different "state" home bases 

when they clash
and 
the  clash
 ends up in hawk hands
 
thats when the real dynamite 
might get  tossed around

cause it can  lead
 one national-group
 that decides
 fuck it 
lets  
use  state  force
to step too hard 
on the toes 
 of  another
national-group 
that wanted "in'  too 

some times 
if they're both well armed
and 
if they each see a chance to win

they end up fighting 
  each other
  over the loot 

 so when a  second groups
 state steps in  to second their claims ....

----------------------------------
that they fight rarely 
 and 
 far more often threaten
 to fight
over  loot
 is evidence
not of peace's strenght
 but of its eventual failure 
 
when groups of trans nats 
   are conflicting 
the story is at its beginning

when big shot states 
howl its building

they arm and howl and arm
and alliances are worked at
till suddenly

 till august 1914 comes round again"

yes boring but true

imperialism is the armed consequence
 of too many  transnational investment
groups
chasing too few prospects 

 capital exportis the game 
(ie the spontaneous
transnationalization of corporate 
investment activity )

and its this
not the mere existence 
of naural  resources 
or cheap labor 
that causes 

the conflict

after all 
loans and trade 
would secure those benes 
to any and all consumers

but the  benes of profiteers 

well some ass hole native type 
would grab most of that
 wouldn't he?

 so off "we" go
not to trade 
not even to lend
but to invest directly 
scoop it all up 
right there 

now if the intervening investors
 can;t help but fall all over each other..
and 
well elbows fly

either one scares off the other
or  
  force leads to  counter force 
and 
this imperial spiral 
means ultimately
 "state" armed forces 
opposing each other 
and 
the age of clintoxlike
 co-operation rings down
the peace curtain 
apon a hapless toiling globe 

-------------------------------


by the way 
 despite the obvious existence 
of  private corporate armies

any fool can see 
why big "state" armed ops
 like
the  iraq topple 
are simply 
what happens 

when a corporate 
 transnational group 
decides 
 
 first :
" lets not politic this one around anymore
   lets just get it done the hard  way"

and 
as a result
because 
its huge and risky

second :

"lets call on uncle sam's
army and the  270 million little 
american saps 
collective credit card "

 gettin it done
"the hawk way
  is gettin it done
  the hard way"

and it 
means one  best let 
some ass hole innocent
 tax base
either  pay
or far more likely 
   sign 
 for the damn thing

 
 u generally don't see
corporations  "privately"
 picking  up 
high risk 
200  billion dollar tabs 
do ya
