Just as the methods and instruments of domination have developed and changed, so too must our methods and tactics for confronting them.
We are not dominated by armies, even if security services are the most visible manifestations of power, they are not the real power, but are instruments of the real power.
This is the case whether we are talking about state security forces or international forces; they are in service to the interests of global capital. The local powers that are protected by their armies, are themselves, subordinate to the global powers.
The global powers, yes, certainly, often impose their domination by force or the threat of force, no doubt, but this is supplementary to their primary means of control.
Military force and direct political control is the old model of the imperial system, and it is almost entirely obsolete. Capitalist imperialism dominates by economic means, controlling markets, and enslaving nations through debt and ownership of production. In this system, military conflict, by and large, only serves to consolidate imperial power, and facilitate their domination of the war-ravaged countries.
