In the good old days, pirates were swung from the yardarm

Now they own banks and have gained control of the militaries of the world.

looks like imperialism is back in fashion..what does venezuela have in common with iraq ?

"..US forces have seized an oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela, in a major escalation of Donald Trump’s four-month pressure campaign against the South American country’s dictator, Nicolás Maduro.

The US president confirmed the operation on Wednesday, telling reporters: “We’ve just seized a tanker on the coast of Venezuela - a large tanker, very large, the largest one ever seized actually. And other things are happening so you will be seeing that later and you will be talking about that later with other people.”

Two US officials told Reuters the operation was led by the US Coast Guard, but did not name the tanker or say specifically where the interception happened. A senior Trump administration official told Bloomberg that the US had conducted a “judicial enforcement action on a stateless vessel” that was last docked in Venezuela.

OF COURSE it was the largest oil tanker in captivity. It had no name and no one knows where they grabbed it. Did it belong to any Americans? No, it did not. What right does the Coast Guard have to seize random oil tankers?

Seniority Is Not a Property Right. The Iron Law of Human Progress Is USE IT OR LOSE IT.

Imperialism is the natural order. Go For It! Both slavish sides have been brainwashed against it. The fact that you can so smugly use the totally united Totalitarians' buzz words proves that. The only objection you'll hear is, "We're not imperialists!" The race-traitors will continue winning until someone pops out of the box Terminal Americans are put in and shouts, "What's so bad about Imperialism?"
 
, "What's so bad about Imperialism?"

1) Slavery
2) Theft of resources
3) Killing of local people
4) Lies to justify it
5) The tactics of bullies
6) Degradation of the environment
7) Enrichment of criminals
8) Aband0nment of international law
9) Disrespect for human rights
10) Practiced by the worst people in society

that will do for a start

"..The most “obvious” phenomenon of the new period in the history of capitalism, which opened with the last quarter of the 19th century, was undoubtedly the series of wars and expeditions, the creation or the expansion of colonial empires: the French expeditions to Tonkin (now Vietnam), Tunisia and Morocco; the conquest of the Congo by Leopold II; the British expansion to the boundaries of India, Egypt and the Sudan, East and South Africa; the German and Italian expansions in Africa, etc.

This colonial expansion stimulated the first efforts by Marxists to interpret the development of this period of capitalism. Karl Kautsky emphasized the commercial reasons for imperialist expansion. According to him, industrial capital cannot sell the whole of its production within an industrialized country. In order to realize surplus value, it must provide itself with markets made up of non-industrialized countries, essentially agricultural countries. This was the purpose of the colonial wars of expansion and the reason for the creation of colonial empires.

Parvus, in the beginning of the 20th century, while underlining this phenomenon emphasized the role of heavy industry (above all the iron industry) in the transformation which was about to take place in the politics of the international capitalist class. He pointed out how iron played a more and more preponderant role in capitalist industry, and demonstrated that government orders, direct (armaments race) and indirect (competition in naval construction, building of railways and harbor installations in colonial countries, etc.), represented the main outlet for this industry.

It was Rosa Luxemburg who drew together in a complete theory all these concepts of an imperialism expanding to compensate for inadequate markets for the products of the biggest capitalist industries. Her theory is mainly one of crises, or to express it more correctly, a theory of the conditions of realization surplus value and of accumulation of capital. It is consistent with the theories of under-consumption worked out over the course of a century by numerous opponents of the capitalist system to show the inevitability of economic crises.

According to Rosa Luxemburg, the continual expansion of the capitalist mode of production is impossible within the bounds of a purely capitalist society. The expansion of the production of the means of production within capitalist society is only possible if it goes hand in hand with the expansion of the demand for consumer goods. Without this expansion of the latter demand, the capitalists will not buy any new machines, etc. It is not the expansion of the purchasing power of the working class which allows an adequate expansion of the demand for consumer goods. On the contrary, the more the capitalist system progresses, the more does the purchasing power of the workers represent a relatively smaller proportion of the national income.

In order for capitalist expansion to continue it is necessary to have non-capitalist classes which, with an income obtained outside the capitalist system, would be endowed with the additional purchasing power to buy industrial consumer goods. These non-capitalist classes originally are the landowners and farmers. In the countries where the industrial revolution first occurred, the capitalist mode of production developed and triumphed in a non-capitalist milieu, conquering the market which consisted above all of the mass of peasants.

Rosa Luxemburg concluded that after the conquest of the national non-capitalist markets, and the not yet industrialized markets the European and North American continents, capital had to throw itself into the conquest of a new non-capitalist sphere, that of the agricultural countries of Asia and Africa.

Once Epstein's bank records finally get released, we should see dozens of bankers, lawyers, politicians, and other pirates get taken down, if not made to walk the perp walk plank.
 
Actually both dead AND incarcerated would also be acceptable.

Only some dissenters feel that the public deserves that a proper tombstone should be accessible to all citizens and residents of the US.

Some Xenos Need to Be Phobed. Some Genos Deserve to Be Cided.

Your pseudo-revolutionary clique has been making evolution run backwards.

Hereditary Power Contradicts and Crashes Capitalism

Instead of the RichKid Reich blaming either private power or government power, its own unearned privileges have to be outlawed, and its influential power must be silenced. All these irrelevant, unrealistic, and destructive theories, whether from Marcuse or Friedman, originated in the Eweniversity, a graduate school for Preppies and their megalomaniacal schemes.
