The class struggle continues to play a central role in the process of capitalist accumulation, albeit it takes different forms depending on the socio-economic context.

The US bombing of Libya in support of rebel clients in the spring of 2011 is part and parcel of a sustained policy of military intervention in Africa since at least the mid 1950's.
