What's the cause of inequality, though? Is the cause of ever-widening international inequality the fact that there still exist states, citizens, and national borders (though some states on the periphery have failed or are failing), as opposed to the history and current reality of capitalism and imperialism? It is not as if international inequality would disappear if the rest of the world all became subjects of the American Empire, as opposed to citizens of their respective nations. -- Yoshie
