War's foundations are...what? The non-contradiction of a Hobbesian all-out-war for resource as potential-productive futures?

I was reading fully positive as positive feedback, as in, the overarching process as war - as a process over the multiple conflicting 'sides' - still continues capital's runaway, as the winner understands x-risk greater than the others.

War is to geopolitics what catallaxy is to economics. (Economic competition isn't really "oppositional" either.)

>competition isn't really "oppositional" How did you put these words in this order with a straight face? Also, it should be obvious I'm talking about things way closer to the metal, so to speak, than geopolitics.
