[lbo-talk] with international law in the news, could we make the U.S. comply?

[Carrol Cox]

Capitalism and the needs of capitalism are the point of view you have to
assume to understand the world. The U.S. polices the world for capitalism.
Police forces (actual and metaphorical) came into existence to  police
workers and their allies for the sake of maintaining order, and order means
the free functioning of capital.

That you happen to disapprove is irrelevant.

The world political-economic--the 
inter*nation*al system--needs the US to be the renegade police force, the 
law-breaking law enforcer. It's not a congenital defect, and there wouldn't 
be international comity if the US were nicer.

The U.S. is a police force? Against whom that matters and in what way that

Looks to me like they're a dangerous, overreaching, destabilizing force with
delusions of grandeur and zero political sophistication.
