The #violence that marks many capitalist states in the #South is therefore not cultural or accidental but structural. #Capitalism itself requires #violence to survive. The #imperial core can appear #peaceful only because the #brutality is displaced elsewhere.

#Socialdemocracy, then, is not a step beyond #capitalism but a softer version of it. The illusion works only for those who benefit from it. The #miners in #Congo & the garment #workers in #Bangladesh who feed Western #industries see through it clearly.
