A Nowhere Rant From a Nowhere Cafe

We can only depict the advances of the current power-structure through fictional pyshical constructions - think of the death star. Then think of the spectacular media-complex that, although everywhere, cannot be located and sourced. This makes the current power-structure much more difficult to explain, even convince others of, unlike the recent-history powers such as Nazism and Stalinism, which were far more dumb through their centralisation, and now (regardless of their horrible crimes) make for great distractions and diversions from the power-structure dominating us, which has a Anglo-American imperial history.
How many programs do you see of the crimes commited by Hitler and Stalin compatred to those commited by the British Empire/Post-1945 America on tv? We just get imperialist apologists like Nial Ferguson, skipping the horrors to focus on the westernisation of the world. It is arguable that Anglo-American Imperialism has killed more people than both these two 20th century regimes combined.

It is collective amnesia that enables us to believe that capitalism and democracy (or what we have now, which is at least a facade of democracy) go side by side, just like it is collective Amnesia that enables us to believe that George Orwell was only against a Stalinist-type threat, as if that was the only type of totalitarianism

Taking those thoughts into account I think this John Pilger Article is a must-read
