Let's Hear It For The Military Industrial Complex

I read a commentary recently that burned into my brain for a few days but I can't remember now the source so can't adequately attribute it. It went roughly thus. What we are witnessing is the modern version of the Hundred Years War that took place in Europe after the death of Charlemagne and the religious and political splintering of Europe. Only now its not individual groups and factions fighting for control, and trying to create nations, its the military/industrial complex with its nation/culture encroachments along with its corporate sponsors and owners. This is the place and the method of how the wealth is being held and created. Solely for its own enrichement and perpetuation. There are many names for it, fascism, authoritarianism, totalitarianism, but it comes down to the same thing. It is also the destroyer of the earth and nations. Time to bring our participation to a halt and put the UK economy back to producing prosperity, not social and economic destruction for the many. We are paying billions to the manufacturers of Trident, for example, while social care is being eroded across the UK. Did you see Panorama on care homes this week? As a consequence of this process it seems the wider fabric of our society is being eroded.
