" !Chomsky's main argument in '#Hegemony or survival: America's quest for global dominance ' is that the socio-economic elite who control the US have pursued an "Imperial Grand Strategy" since the end of World War II in order to maintain global hegemony through #military, #political and #economic means. He argues that in doing so they have repeatedly shown a total #disregard for #democracy and #humanRights, in stark contrast to the U.S. government's #professed support for those values." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hegemony_or_Survival cc @question
