   Good cartoon lecture but it fails to bring in the crisis of resources and the push to dominate and control oil and gas resources fundamental to the continuation of capitalism as representated by the the imperialist wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the war on terror, military conflict in Nigeria, Colombia etc etc and the threat posed by the governments of Venezuela, Bolivia, Ecuador who are increasingly involved in taking those resources back into public control away from multinationals and using the wealth from those resources to the benefit of the majority of their people who previously lived excluded in dire poverty.

   Also what urgently needs to be discussed is the global ecological crisis emergency as symbolised by ever increasing global warming and global climate chaos and change as a direct consequence of unsustainable capitalist economic growth, consumption and and so called development and it’s total dependence and flagrant abuse of the very same oil and gas resources.

   Thought comrades might enjoy this belated, but I think moving tribute to Daniel Bensaid.
