Adding to the woes of poverty in Africa, made worse by the now ongoing globalization, is the pattern of sadistic men and women at the helm of state power who, if there is normality, should be put behind bars. They are benefiting from a pattern of global brutalization going on across continents. The war on terror is serving Anglo-American capitalism as never before in its systemic attempt to undermine or, if possible, even erase the idea and the reality of class awareness and struggle as to destroy class solidarity among the exlpoited and thereby discredit Carl Marx entirely. Not only did 9/11 take the anti globalization agenda off the world stage, but it ushered in a new era of systemically whipping up and spreading old suspicions and hatreds among major religions.
