too much time is spent on the destructiveness and wasteful end products of the War boom
not enough on the built infra structure here
whatis the trot need for invoking the iron necessity of destruction btw
the old that needed destroying was not the physical production facility basis
of the old society let alone its physical infrstructure and building stock
but merely the historic legacy of its onerous debt jacket
the old world's bomb survivable nominal obligations grid
------------------
alternative to a seond arsenal of democracy and freedom :
a phony war ??
well we could make a kold war 11 not a hot war III eh ??
that first kold war was a clear improvement
of course it was only a real "jstified " stimulator for the first 20 years or so
after the turn into 1950 and b4 the nixon-mao pact
the chinese intervention in the korean war proved a perfect pretext
for a massive building of armadas and highways
--and btw for ending the negative real rate of interets on the debt grid ---
these new age armadas unlike say the british flet pre 1860
in many details went obsolescent b4 they could "see action"
and in fact even the final updates never did see action anyway
thanx gorby !!!!
but now our corporate guardian class if they choose
may go one step further and actually opt for the moral equivalent of war
called for by billy james
we could have a green tech department one boom
plus a nice negative real rate
thru soaring nominal wages and prices
what would be easier then this route
if "they" want to wipe out
the "real value" of the crippling chain web of existing debt obligations
so much for theold battle cry
" its war or revolution"
that fork has another tine
now it's
transform and relieve or war or revolution
the greater irrationality of capitalism comes if truly transformative and relieving action
can only come about thru a global great power war
of course we have even there two great twentieth century intervals
contrast post '18 with post '45
does capitalism not only need war on the grand scale but a fuckin mulligan too
at the outset of each new world historical stage ???
are the class struggles too intense to tamper with ??
and yet if they don't tamper one way or other
MAM or GREAT WAR
