RE: Socialism Is War and War Is Socialism - Foundation for Economic Education
And, unfortunately, hyper-capitalism leads to war too.
The military industrial complex feeds itself on the excesses created by capitalism.
And when the govern-cement is in bed with the defense contractors, then basically you have a govern-cement of and buy the military.
As Gerald Celente says, "The business of The US is war"
The issue isn't hyper-capitalism, quite the opposite. It's that any form of government control exists over the economy. This control is what then is exploited by the military-industrial complex to create a consumerist-corporatist state, which needs war to sustain itself and who must execute control over ever increasingly larger sectors of the economy to prevent this power-hierarchy from breaking down, which would result in the pull-pushers loosing their grip on control and, subsequently, their power.
