"Chuck,

I am not disagreeing with anything on your list, but I sincerely want to know on what you base your belief that in the absence of U.S. hegemony we (the world) definitely would be better off. Is the world better off becuase U.S. imperialsm replaced British imperialism....repalcing Roman imperialism.....Biblical imperialism (pick a "nation" from the Old Testament). I see nothing in human history that guarantees a better tomorrow."

Getting rid of U.S. hegemony would be only a start, although it would be a significant start. I agree about how another power will take the place of a vanquished power. That's why we need an international effort against states. I call that effort anarchism. Most of you know it as "international solidarity of the working class." Thinking that eliminating one state is going to be the only goal is like thinking that you can have socialism in one country.

"...ironically, perhaps, the best organised dissenters in the world today are anarchists, who are busily undermining capitalism while the rest of the left is still trying to form committees."
