I just mean, if it's correct that" From its birth IG Farben had been at war
with the rest of the world, with the United States as a main target"
(Sasuly. Chapter 11, verse on, lines 1-2.) and if the IG was patterned after
the American Trusts may I then conclude that Standard Oil was at war with
the rest of the world too? Could it be possible that trusts generally are at
war with the rest of the world, that it maybe is a structural element of big
capitalist structures turning into T-Rexes biting dead reflexively
everything around that moves? I mean, this would explain a lot.
