MILITARISM & IMPERIALISM
Posted on June 6, 2016 by Yash
General Dwight D. Eisenhower, at his Farewell Address as president in 1961, coined the phrase ‘The military-industrial complex’ (MIC). He alerted the nation to guard against its influence on politics. He said that the MIC typically attempts to marshal political support for increased military spending for maximising their profits.[i]
William C. Lewis (2013)in ‘U.S. Imperialism And America’s War Machine: A Destructive Apparatus’, has argued that Corporate Imperial Militarism controls U.S. society and wages destructive occupations abroad to serve the capitalist interests of the war-making and arms manufacturing class whose bombs eradicate human beings in its pursuit of profits.[ii]
It is important to grasp the essence of these two related concepts – the Military Industrial Complex and Corporate Imperial Militarism. If one has not understood these, one has understood nothing about the relationship between the North and the South, or between these and the rest of humanity. This systematic machinery is the backbone for an imperial nation’s continued dominance in today’s world.

BREXIT AND THE FUTURE OF EPA
A third unsustainable principle of the British Empire is that it can sustain itself only through war and mass killings – just like the American system. William C. Lewis in his ‘U.S. Imperialism and America’s War Machine: A Destructive Apparatus‘[ii] has shown how Corporate Imperial Militarism controls U.S. society and wages destructive occupations abroad to serve the capitalist interests of the war-making and arms manufacturing class whose bombs eradicate human beings for profit. The British economy is based on two major “products”. One is paper money. The “City” conjures up wealth from literally nothing – from thin air – based on fictitious and speculative capital.[iii] The second is the arms industry – the more weapons Britain sells to, for example, Saudi Arabia to kill people in Yemen, and to African rulers to kill people in for example, Somalia, the more Britain’s so-called “GDP” grows – a ghastly testimony to British civilization.
