Thanks Karl, your insights are illuminating. The bankster's existential war against Russia (in particular) and China is past the point of return. Will the US rope together sufficient satellites to create a "garrison state", a kind of uneasy co-existence. Still, I don't think Musk can carry through on re-industrializing given that the alternative of guns/butter has been money printing, damn making choices.

Given the series of financial crises western finance induced, 1987, Latin American debt, Saving and Loan, Asian Financial crisis 1997, Dot com, GFC, 2019 Repo. With diminishing and willing counter parties to take the burden the combined west faces hard choices of financing the MIC and killing off a consumer economy resulting in Kaus's dream, you'll own nothing an be happy for captured western populations.

The time was different, but Albert Speer got lots of help and had plenty of resources. Musk has no help and few resources. Musk will need to kill the neoliberal parasites to accomplish what Speer did, and that’s the battle I want to see.
