Charles: Doesn't American imperialism and all imperialism
need the INSTITUTION of war ? Some war , somewhere, regularly ? Otherwise,
how could it avoid disarmament ? And wouldn't disarmament spell the end of
capitalism ? World peace would take away capitalism's ultimate form of creative
destruction, its method of restoring the rate of profit. There would be no way
to impose the will of the IMF and the big banks and financial institutions, no
way to collect the debts which are the basis of neo-imperialist control of the
neo-colonies. Brazil and Mexico could just default and what would Wall Street do
?

Simply making abstract statements such as the one's Chlarles
makes above which can be applied generically to a host of situation
explains nothing. It is a bit like saying that all cats are animals. Apart
from this it is not true that impewirialism simply conjures up
wars as a form of economic policy to modify the business cycle or
whatever.
