Au contraire! I reckon we could fashion a neat little cabinet out of this convocation! I'm tempted to allocate portfolios, but am loathe to hurt the feelings of aspiring commissars I might leave out.
Anyway, a little Marxism is essential to smoothing the trajectory of capitalism, and I'm sure the LBO has plenty of subscribers amongst the besuited hordes. Only this could explain so impatient and deliberately antagonising a strategy for the global sway of the capitalist form closest to exposing that system's fundamental contradictions. For instance, without the help of all this globalising 'information economy' talk, in concert with an efficiently global-economy-fragmenting intellectual property regime, capitalism might have roared along in its various manifestations for centuries! Now, at least, we've a global economy which admits to grounding itself in something that can never cheaply and reliably maintain the charateristics of a commodity, which exposes to even the most naive the brutally political character of price-setting, which cannot help but drive those on the wrong side of the technological divide into an ultimately suicidal low-value-production and price-taking niche, and which can therefore not help but ensure the production of an international army of gravediggers just as it produces a structural underconsumption crisis.
Brilliant.
Teleologically yours, Rob.
