Capitalism's Third World War
<p>In this presentation, Professor Wolff discusses how the first two world wars brought an end to the British, German, and Japanese empires, and how a third would likely bring down the American empire. Specific topics include:</p> <p>1. The U.S. empire's decline provokes desperate economic policy <br /> 2. The U.S. empire's decline provokes resurgent neo-colonialism around Venezuela, Greenland, Cuba, etc, along with the potential U.S. withdrawal from the United Nations and the weakening of NATO<br /> 3. A burgeoning political dictatorship in the U.S. that is giving rise to state "command" capitalism, the use of ICE as a special executive-controlled force for domestic control, and the militarization of MAGA versus the rest of us.<br /> 4. The emergence of capitalists against Trump is creating a divide among capitalists<br /> 5. An American self-imposed isolation from partners and allies while preparing for multiple wars.</p> <p> </p> <p>Presented by Democracy at Work and the Left Forum</p> <p> </p> <p>Special messages to our audience: </p> <p>Please help sponsor Global Capitalism by becoming a monthly donor to Democracy at Work.
