I'm going to keep repeating this until events refute it, which won't happen in my lifetime.
The logical necessity is (a) that u.s. capitalism and u.s. imperailism are are simply different names for the same thing and (2) imperial power requires endless war. See Luxemburge & Lenin on the first point; see Ellen Wood on the second point.
And under present conditions the u.s. state does NOT need popular support, since opposition will be expressed in voting for DP war criminals to replace RP war criminals.
That will only change when at least 20% of white americans are willing to take to the streets in solidarity with illegal immigrants.
