Presto, capitalism seems to have changed again and reverted to classic form 
in the last three and a half months.  Post 9/11, we now have in-your-face 
imperialism that is indistinguishable, IMO, from the 19th-century original.  
Now that we're living under the global dispensation of Uncle Sam as No More 
Mr. Nice Guy, it's reasonable to assume that Marx's insights into the 
overtly brutal system that he witnessed will have new relevance.
