On a side note, no social theory (as opposed to biological ones) has ever been proposed to sufficiently explain human nature and how to prevent wars and imperialism. Despite the invention of internet and iphone, we are still lagging behind in the humanties. We still fight wars and attempts of imperalism with wars and attempted imperialism.
That’s why Noam Chomsky hit a nerve when he proclaimed: “The United States is a Leading Terrorist State”.
