Confronting the Empire
Author(s)Amin, Samir
AbstractExamines the present state of US imperialism, especially in light of the American defiance of international law & the UN members that seem to posit Americans (& Israelis) as a “master race” & others as “red skins” allowed to exist only to the extent that they do not impede US-based multinational economic hegemony. Under this mode of imperialism, human values are wholly subsumed by the values of the market; far from benign, US hegemony has strong kinship with Nazism in the insistence on a master race. Linkages between the corrupt US system & the facts of capitalist hegemony among the Triad (the US, Europe, & Japan) are discussed in terms of the tyranny of global neoliberalism and the need for coalitions along a “Southern Front” to stem the tide of US neo-Nazism. K. Coddon.
