This is little short of a claim to divine inspiration. Neither let critics nor ruling class intellectuals can reach any consensus whatever on what is "the interest of the u.s. capitalists." It is unbelievable arrogance for any one person to claim that he KNOWS what that interest is.
No intelligent debate can be formulated around claims to such mystical perfect knowledge.
I don't know and you don't know what "THE INTEREST" of u.s. capitalism is.
