[A-List] Run-away government? Nope.

["Nestor Gorojovsky" <nestorgoro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

From time to time, strange things happen in this universe we live in. 

For instance, now I find myself in disagreement with Henry Liu.  But 
I believe we have already had this same disagreement, so that at 
least some consistency appears in this deviation of the general rules 

of motion of the planets and galaxies.

Writing on Martinet's text, Henry adds that "The problem of a run-
away government theme, as had been frequently invoked during the 
Vienam War was that it presupposes that the US government, its 
people, its culture, its system etc, were fundamentally good and the 
government was just temporarily taken over by sinister elements.  The 

possibility exists that the US system at its best, run by its best 
and brightest, was inherently evil, just like the British empire was 
evil, while within it there were honorable men and women who 
sincerely believed that were doing good.  US policy was and is a 
reflection of the will of the majority of its citizens and that will 
is often onerous. The government propaganda machine is very 
sophisticated and subliminally effective.  It needs no conspiracy to 
manipluate the public which is already it the government's pocket."

The fact that the general framework of American life is, so to say, 
potentially or actually evil, does not mean that the American people 
are a bloodthirsty gang of criminals who consciously hate anything 
slightly darker-skinned than themselves (British people, by contrast, 

have sometimes tended to fit this pattern quite smoothly, not to 
speak of the very cultured French!). 

It is a mistake to play down the necessity of a huge ideological work 

on the American population by the ruling classes. From his many 
contributions to the issue, I have come to the conclussion that even 
Henry understands the contradiction between the formal education 
whereby average Americans are drilled into the idea that they are the 

greatest example of democracy (which cannot be elliminated without 
elliminating something of the core beliefs and consciousness of the 
American [Imperialist] Nation), on one side, and the dire necessities 

of keeping a global empire working for good, on the other.

It would not be the first time a Reichstag Fire is used in the USA. 
Remember the Tonkin Gulf incident, the blasting of the Maine, the 
Pearl Harbor incident, the Alamo incident, even the "Nazi-scientists"-

in-Argentina campaign... 

You don't need to have the whole American state working on the 
preparation of the coup. You just and simply need to provide some 
untidiness and slow motion in military action and, presto!

Simply be morose in scrambling fighters. That's all that's needed. 
And this, we had. The guy responsible for this terrible mistake has 
not been  demoted, he has been promoted instead. Whether we accept 
the conspiracy theory or not, we cannot discard it on the ground that 

the theory speaks of a government and keeps a social system safe. Not 

at all. What we have is a run-away ruling class, and of course this 
is what has to be explained.

No "run-away government theory" at all. This is the _actual_ 
government of the American bourgeoisie. These plots are not plots of 
individuals. They are class devices which seek to keep people's minds 

flatly glued to the needs of American imperialism.
