Escape from the Dual Empire

15.
What confronts the world now is a dual empire,
not a unitary empire. The military-industrial complex
of the cold war era has been replaced, not by a
juridical empire of global law and trade, but by a new
duality, a military-entertainment complex. The two
aspects of this empire, its commodity-space and
strategy-space, overlap and contradict one another.
Both are driven by the same imperative
