Before and after Rosa Luxemburg's "Socialism or barbarism" statement, in Latin America we have suffered Washingtonian interventions in different flavors:
direct military invasions, for instance, overthrowing of Jacobo Arbenz in Guatemala, Caamaño de Ño in Santo Domingo, or ,recently, Bertrand Aristide in Haiti.
thru the supporting of nazis brought to Latin America via pope Pio XII's "rat line", like Pinochet's assistant Walter Rauff (the "inventor" of the mobile gas chamber of extermination) or Klaus Barbie (Bolivian nazi state of 1980)
or just using their local trainee-by-the-CIA front men as we saw recently in Honduras
But after the failure of the historical socialist experiments from the 20th century and the subsequently capitalist ideological hegemony / isolation of the social revolutionists from the masses, Washington's international interventions have escalated to a barbarian stage.
Just examine the invasion to Irak. One million civilian casualties without anybody getting remorseful. The destruction of civil infrastructure just to construct it again payed by the invaded country. And what is worst, unmasked high officials from the Washingtonian government profeeting from the war (Cheney's Halliburton), something that assures the cash motivation for future interventions.
In the local American politics, who doubts that a nazi regime would be the consequence of any raising of the people?
That sounds to me as if we have already reached post-capitalist barbarism.
