Trump will most likely need a war eventually, probably soon. It would provide useful scapegoats, silence opposition, and be very profitable, short-term. The plan, as I understand it, would be as follows:

What Marx was showing was really the increasing level of abstraction as economic systems evolved, the middle class being the up-to-date experts, now and then kicking out the old elite. But much of the working class has been replaced by robots, and now the middle class by AI.

Neo-Colonialism is proof that the Right-Wing elites actually do believe in climate change. Neo-Imperialism – corporations exploiting with state back-up – will not be enough. Territory is important again.

Russia's WWII-style invasion of Ukraine damaging also because it makes so many believe the next WW will be fought rifle in hand on the ground. Incels tempted by heroics. Modern warfare: Destroy all military and civilian infrastructure from a distance first.

I feel like Catch 22 is one of the most obviously leftist books just bc the protagonist is a smart guy who understands the insanity around him in perfect clarity, but nobody takes him seriously because it's also turned him into a miserable, high-strung neurotic And what's more leftist than that
