Capital does not always or mostly require war to resolve its international political and economic disputes. As mentioned above, Lenin, not an idiot, referred to the 1860-1880 period as one in which, though scattered wars broke out, " free competition was predominant" in relations between states. That has become even more the case in the nuclear age over the past 80 years. Though there is always the everpresent danger of miscalculation resulting in a nuclear exchange, such a global conflagration, while possible, is not inevitable as Charlie presupposes. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
