[Marxism] NY Times still not convinced of US-Iran "commoninterests" in "Quisling regime" in Iraq

Nestor, I don't understand your distinction between self-centered and 
extrovert capitalism, nor which of the two labels, if any, you would apply 
to Venezuela and/or Iran.

Imperialism is an objective structure. The divide does not lie
between "developed" and "developing" countries (not always "nations",
please let us be Marxists, not every country is a nation). The divide
still runs between those nations, all imperialist, which enjoy a self-
centered capitalism, and those which suffer from an extrovert
capitalism.

Of course many countries, from time to time and under the
guidance/rule/domination of most different classes running usually as
the head of a front of classes, try to overcome the divide (always in
the extrovert economies, never in the self-centered ones). The
results of the different attempts tends to accumulate but every
failure (and short of socialism, failures are 99,99% certain) implies
a restoration of imperialist rule in full.

If we get the thing wrong on this, then we lose all our bearings.
