To add Derek to your July 24 comments "But wait! First: -- who is "The Enemy"?..." :

True, our direct relationship, as the People, with "the State" is not concrete and we do work on a "local" level, but the intrinsic value of it is not lost. So we all wander a bit and Capitalism harps on like a juggernaut in disguise. These specific groups are employees of the state and are directly responsible in aiding to separate.

But what you are saying- that Capitalism is too organic, as opposed to Communism, is misleading somewhat. As I do agree with you on the whole, however your comments concerning seem opposite of your original point. If Capitalism is to "retreat in cyberspace... once economics becomes a matter of digitalized data,” does this not represent a fading to abstraction? Are we not seeing a state of denial in terms of the very organization of the Capital Idea?

You are right- Capitalism will disintegrate. But Communism, Marxism and a number of offshoots imploded only by the use of Capitalism 'rapid response." Call it pre-emptive, if you will. We do already see the obvious bias of Capital systems through out. And, I believe that the political issues of the very State where Capitalism is a leading hand is only a side note. Consider that most Latin American "capital systems" and "democracies” only exist with the guiding hand of US prowess only to benefit the benefactors, while the rest of the population is mired in conflict and hopelessness. Examples of certain rapid response economics and implosive endings include Argentina and Venezuela. Their societies only benefited initially with "economic progress,” as they sold off all their public lands, power pipelines and utilities to US companies. These companies, namely Enron and Occidental, were push by politics.

And there is the rub, my friend. These societies collapsed as fast as they were economically initialized. The political means always taints the economic ends. (Or is it vice-versa?)

I will consider your WORK next? Till then...
