5. What are the interests in the Mideast of oil  companies with which
Vice-President Cheney was connected?


    As if Arbenz in Guatemala was overthrown in '54 just because the Dulles brothers owned stock and were buddy 
buddy w/ the head of United Fruit.
    Were  all those  debates between instrumentalist, structuralist and StaMoCap neo-marxists in the 70's about 
the formation of capitalist state policy (see Kapitalistate, the Gold, Lo and E.O. Wright piece in Monthly 
Review circa late 70's, Bob Jessop, "The Capitalist State, etc.) just hot air that activists paid no heed to?
   The left really needs to get beyond this reductionist image circa cartoons in, "The Masses, " by Robert 
Minor in 1915 of Kapitalist Pigs In Top Hats With Big Bellies And Cigars Jerking Us Around Marionette Strings.
