  • There is no need to impose democracy on Saudi Arabia as they are not a threat to capitalism and are indeed beneficial to capital in the Middle East.

  • Democracies and dictatorships are imposed and removed as necessary as long as they uphold the interests of capital.

  • Perhaps Marx analysis is correct the whole world is now going through capitalism. Why is not mentioned that what we really have bourgeoisie democracy?

  • If I remember correctly the Turkish military is secular as is the state, and were great many Turkish people protesting against the dangers of Islamic fundamentalist president being elected. A good observation on Chinese investment in Africa. However, are you not painting too rosie a picture of China, surely it capitalist exploitation even if it does bring in its wake prosperity.
