John Lewis Gaddis - The Cold War


The war of theory, communism versus liberalism is the constant and tumultuous affair that has dominated the US policy for many years; it was likely to result in wars or in fact many wars simply by causing friction in values. One must wonder why there is this system of capitalism, or it could be said of monarchies as well that there is a giant system in a state that only favours the rich or the royalty. Thomas Hobbes' theory could never be more pertinent, of the average person having a life that was 'nasty, brutish and short'. So what needs to happen? Well in the words of George Monbiot, overthrow capitalism, this is a system that is eating up the planet. Once capitalism is overthrown humanity may have a fighting chance at survival because they are their own worst enemy.
