There is no real inter- imperialist rivalry. But don't we still need the concept of imperialism (not Lenin's theory), not to replace Marx's analysis of capitalism, but supplement it with a political theory of domination on an international level? I disagree with this: "We should leave the analysis of power relations to Kissinger." Why should be we leave it to Kissinger as he is part of the enemy class?
