*So you thought a couple of insults might do the job
of getting a response ?
It does usually work, but I'm not in the mood now.
I've noticed your post on ontological/epistemological
issues but I thought you were arguing with Walter so I
didn't feel that I needed to respond.

*Right, except that I am not being paid for this.

might assume that I posted the article because I find

*If you would read the actual article, of which this
is just the intro paragraph, you would find that this
gets sourced to Lenin etc. There is plenty of Marxist
literature on why capitalism is inherently
imperialistic; in the same time the thesis is not so
universally accepted or self-evident as to not warrant
being reiterated. Sorry gotta go now.
