(Briefly)
Thank you for this, Brian,
I have been thinking of this, insofar as Trump's declaring Jerusalem capital of
Israel is the symbolic act which consecrates authoritarian racist capitalism as
the up and coming political ideology.
In the old days we called this Apartheid (I grew up there), which was all about
domination based upon deprival. I do not believe that they are "in the denial
of the present". They are preparing for a future of limited ressources of which
they intend to be the sole masters .
Best -
Joe.
