I could add to this list of cardboard anti-establishment figures. It really is sad that no serious critique of the economic structure that leads to war is possible for these guys. They cannot address how a consumption economy, and overproduction are connected to war. They cannot talk about how the concentration of wealth has distorted the political economy, and they cannot talk about how "free trade" has created an economy in which war is the only stimulus that works.
