Baran and Sweezy would disagree. So would Mao (before 1960), and Ho
Chi Minh (all his life). And one interpretation of the failure of
Kissinger's foreign policy is that Kissinger had no grasp of the fact
that Brezhnev and company really did still believe in the (long run)
world revolution, and in the ultimate victory of their brand of
socialism.
