it's scary. It's as if he's saying "we at the IMF have saved the world
to the extent we've been successful at smashing governments, ousting
their power elites, and radically changing their policies. Now let's
do the same to the US." It's not a call for democracy: it's more like
the concentration and centralization of capital applied on a world
scale in finance and government, with the IMF ending up on top.
