As far as I can tell the role of the US state is that of policer for global capitalism. Far from a withering away of capitalism, it is a withering away of the state as a nation. So I think that what I'm suggesting is that if capitalism proceeds to the stage of 'overpowering, world dominating ... state' then there is little to exercise an imperialist imperative upon. IOW, doesn't imperialism require resistance?

^^^^^^^^ CB: I'm thinking that the US is an overpowering ,world dominating state, now. Like you say, policer for global capitalism. If the US gets socialism ( not just over the horizon), there wouldn't be any other states to suppress it as the Germany and the US states did with the Soviet Union, Korea, Viet Nam, etc.
