When I look at the U. S. over the past 200 years, I see massive social 
transformations.  Most of them were precipitated by capitalism and the 
incessant drive for new markets and higher profit margins.  Innovation 
and change are tangible, obvious historical products of capitalist 
social relations.  It's not bullshit.  (Time to read the Manifesto again!!)
