Comrades,
I still haven't figured out the theory these ramblings draw upon. I
figured that this thread was just a bunch of bored boys of summer trolling
off, but I am beginning to believe that you guys are serious about these
fantasies. Hey, if you can get articles published with this stuff, what's
the problem, right?
In case you guys miss it while you are busy musing about long waves and
the functional imperatives in the evolution of world-systems, there is a
global corporatist transformation going on right now, with real people
behind it, and they are crushing liberty and democracy.
When did cyclical theory in world historiography die out, again? Was it
with Spengler? Was it with Sorokin? Well, no matter, it was a long time
ago.
