Indeed. And I agree with most of what Dennis R. wrote about European capital posing a challenge as U.S. hegemony "unravels" (to use Giovanni Arrighi's excellent phase).

So we all agree that European capital has its interests apart and sometimes opposed to U.S. capital.

All the more reason not to pick a side in the fight. I think the Carrol Cox position that the main enemy the world over is U.S. imperialism is a great exaggeration of the U.S.'s capabilities as an imperial power.

The Liebknecht position, that the main enemy is at home, seems to me to still offer the best guiding principle for communists everywhere.
