...?
been a while since I've read the communist manifesto, it's been assigned for my sociology class. In looking over one part of it, Marx is describing the globalism of the bourgeois, and what strikes me about it is not that he saw so (this aspect) so clearly but that this feared globalism (by the west as giving up its place atop the world, by the east as being dominated by the west) is so succinctly something we're facing right now in the world, but it's being labeled socialism. But what's really happening, in Marxian terms, is that as the bourgeois is solidifying it's hold on the world, America (or insert other country here) becomes far less important in the scheme of things, because the domination and interests of the global bourgeois is more important than any one country. Our corporate way of running things through rampant consumption and out of control, dehumanizing capitalism is still building this global dream, yet Americans opposed to big government (another form of tyranny) are so blind to it.
