I know you're no fan of North Korea. I'll admit my post was probably too terse to escape being unfair. My point is just that, looking around empirically, if you're trying to put your finger on what makes some societies more xenophobic and others less so, the hegemony of capital doesn't seem to be a very significant correlate, does it? So why stress it the way you did?
