Re: [Marxism] Pearl Harbor, etc.

[rrubinelli <rrubinelli@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

How did we get here?  This started with Les' comments on a study of the WTC 
collapse,
comments which I thought were based on his knowledge, experience, understanding
of physics, engineering, etc.

The response to Les' comments has been a little off the mark, no matter what 
you think
of who knew what, who did what on 9-11.

It's not a conspiracy theory to say that the US knew something, and maybe 
exactly what
was coming; that it served certain needs of the moment.  But that's not the 
point either.

The point is what generates those needs, and what changes occur to make an 
attack,
conspired or not, so opportune, so functional, so perfect?  And that would be 
an economic,
class, analysis.

In both cases, Pearl Harbor and WTC, the drivers of the process are not 
conspirators,
Western, Islamic, Asian, but the changes in capital's self-reproduction that 
make war more
than opportune, convenient-- that make it essential.
