"It's all about marketing....isn't it?" - Absolutely.. it's always been. War is the last frontier for massive gains and profits. Marcuse and his students, one of whom being my former professor, wrote and argued this point throughout the 60s and 70s. Well, they didn't soley focus on war, it was the whole consumer paradigm and the infusion of a second nature in the buyer through advertising - but it's along the same lines.. I honestly think that there's a certain intellectual chauvanism with some of the brilliant minds and analysts who MUST stick within what the left dictates, otherwise, no one will buy their books or hold them in high esteem. I mean for someone like Ali to make the same argument a militia member in Kentucky is making is rather embarassing. I can't think of another reason. Parenti makes fun of these guys during his talks which usually go something like this: "Parenti you think these people sit in rooms and plan these things? No, they sit on fuckin' carousel horses and talk to eachother, of course they sit in rooms and plan and conspire these things.. they just don't happen by chance!" --------------------- |
