Super Imperialism - This thread starts off by asking, "What is the ruling class like at the moment"? A ruling class dominated by multi-national corporations is different to one dominated by 'national' or 'local' corporations. There are bitter struggles going on right now inside the ruling class about which sort of business should have the upper hand. There have been all sorts of changes in the world since the fall of the Soviet Union. Once again, the ruling class fights inside itself to decide, for instance, if they should just prop up friendly dictators like Sadaam or the House of Saud, or if they should try and overthrow them. We need to be able to think clearly about this so that we can start asking 'when does revolution become possible?'.
