Do they think the Catalan Anarchists had no bourgeois blood on their hands? Do they think the Makhnovites never executed counterrevolutionaries? Fucking idiots. I preferred it when anarchists actually threw pipe bombs.

  • My best interpretation is that they see global hegemony as the solution to conflict by globalizing commerce and industry. Thus, they need a powerful state to wage such hegemony. I mean, GWB is the canonical elected neocon, and look at his not-so-small-gubmint DOHS or the TSA. Or conservatives general obsession with strong military and foreign encroachments. This put the neocons at odds with the libertarians regarding “foreign entanglements” – instead of entanglement, neocons see hegemony.

    • While not necessarily canonical, the scene in the movie “W” where Cheney presents his plan for the Iraq War as a domino fall to lead to further expanded dominance in the Middle East, with his prognostication that “nobody will fuck with us then.” The notion that Americanism is the world’s savior, thus, we must provide Americanism to the world, by trade/legal/military force as necessary.

          Kinda. I think mastodon hashtags can be used to post from mastodon to lemmy communities.
