Re: [Marxism] "Sarkozy Calls for Revamping of Capitalist System"

Guten Tag David Thorstad,

  you quoted the prÃsident de la RÃpublique FranÃaise saying, that -
  in effect -- he called for a refoundation of the international
  economic setup, set up after the previous world war by the then
  one and single victorious imperialist power, known as the system of
  Bretton Woods. But Sarkozy wants it to reflect the new, emerging
  power of the little european imperialist powers as the Grrrrande
  Nation and also the German colossus, always to big to hide among the
  many, and always to weak to really call the shots, OK, Sarkozy wants
  a new predominant role for the European imperialist which have been
  put in the second row by the one and single new Empire.

  But the question his: how many more aircraft carriers does Sarkozy
  have under his command than the Pentagon, by whom he wants to be
  treated as equal?

  US power is not only based on being the one largest single national
  interior market in the capitalist world (until China takes over),
  but also the one disposing of the largest military power, the
  ability to blow up this world and all of humanity not only once, but
  many times over and for all.

  All the imperialist competitors of the USofA are dwarfs compared to
  the US, even considering the inability of the USofA to subjugate
  Iraq and Iran and Afghanistan and with them the whole of West and
  Central Asia.

  And now, what?
  

Mit freundlichen GrÃÃen
