I hope it sparks debate and causes people to take seriously the central point of the book, namely the grave threat posed to the world by the U.S. effort to maintain global dominance. The facts laid out in the book are disturbing and in many ways terrifying, and my hope, one I know that Prof. Chomsky has long shared, is that the public will come to understand the danger that we are in and act collectively to radically democratize existing power structures.
The countries don’t matter… To change things the peasants would all need to work together to throw off the sociopaths/oligarchy… Dividing the world into countries is just one way they maintain their control
That sounds interesting! Which bodies were theorising this?
One of my fav sci-fi authors (H. Beam. Piper) had all his stories in a world where the northern hemisphere did that, and humanities spread out with its major cities all being from the southern hemisphere.
Sometimes I wonder what the world would be without countries like the US, Russia and China.
And the UK too.

Happy?
Careful, we might just have the British Empire all over again.
Some other country would be in their place. Sometimes I wonder what the world would be without countries.
Theories during the Cold War proposed Brazil would step in if the big ones MADded themselves.
