Have been reading books on imperialism

Hobson studied the British Empire published a book about it in 1913

It’s amazing how the USA empire parallels the British one

It’s almost like reading about the USA today

I find the imperialism view useful and viewing the USA as an oligarchy controlled to a large degree by banking cartels

Of course there are factions within the elite and oligarchy

That’s the fun part

I think empires go thru pretty much the same life cycle. You'd think they'd catch on, but they don't. Then again, the oligarchs get what they want out of it, and I doubt they care about the rest of us.
