Sundry: Kolko, WSJ, Clinton & the "well laid" theory of IR

[Charles Brown]

There are still inter-imperialist rivalries within the bourgeoisie.
These rivaliries are less coincident with national boundaries
than in the beginning of the century. Clinton may represent
the more nouveau riche (thus, Republican investigations
of Clinton's Asian campaign contributions)

 of the transnational bourgeoisie.
The Republicans represent Old money and the
most reactionary sectors. Old money wants it all and
are not satisfied with "neo-liberal triumphalism" , no
matter how overwhelmingly successful for the 
world bourgeoisie it seems compared with the
world situation twenty years ago. The unlimited
greed of the bougeoisie does not allow them to 
know when enough is enough.

houses)--but possibly something the rest of us haven't noticed.   I don't
know what it is. ...<

could it be that it's an intramural fight between two wings of capital? 

could it be that Clinton is suffering from an effort to revenge what
happened to Bork, Nixon, and the like? that is, that's it's  personal
animousity within the political class?
