Neo-conservativism presaged Trumpian neo-fascism in several respects. It saw violence as a positive policy option not a defensive last resort. It held laws, norms and the lives of non-white people in total contempt. And many, many centrists either cringed in deference to it or actively collaborated.

The imperial core should have expropriated its oil and gas producers decades ago, using their wealth and resources to pay reparations to the countries that were systemically de-developed by the likes of Shell and BP. Expropriation is good for people and planet.

The anti-genocide movement has been driven by below: activists rather than bureaucrats, people rather than NGOs, students rather than professors, etc. Almost without exception, the top echelons of society have tried to stop the protests, not the genocide.
