To get back on topic, there are many who think that Neville Chamberlain was doing all that he could to gain time for the British to prepare for war.
He became PM a year after his predecessor had overseen the setting up of tho Shadow Factories that were so important to the war effort,; Chamberlain was a member of the Government which set up the factories.
He was well aware of Britain's preparations for the inevitable war and he should be viewed as a hero rather than an appeaser.

So there is no comparison between Obama and Chamberlain.

The contradictions within the communist systems ended the USSR and this collapse gave a temporary fillip to the USA led capitalist system.

But the contradictions within the USA led capitalist system are no less terminal and it now is also nearing total collapse.

The necessity to produce ever greater number of commodities by ever more efficient means is finally irresolvable. As more commodities are provided with the need for little or no labour the consumer must inevitably be less able to find his/her purchases of thos commodities.

The short solution of increasing consumer credit since the 1980s has permitted the problem to be kicked down the road, the release of housing equity during the late1990s early 2000s permitted the mirage to continue and since 2008/9 sovereign debt was the only place left to extend credit and keep the show rolling.

We are at the end of the road. Much of the western world is at 0% interest. In Australia our cash rate is at 2.5% and heading south. The US federal reserve and the ECB are using every financial trick they can invent to keep the show rolling on. The US government is now so entrenched in deceit that it believes if it just lies about GDP, unemployment and other key economic indicators hoping against reality that the problem will just go away

This is not the narrative you will hear on your daily tv but if you take the trouble to investigate there are few who will argue with the above.

The only game left within the current paradigm is the theft of capital, resources etc from underdeveloped but resource rich countries. This alone can delay d-day - this is the primary reason we remain at war with Islam and whywe are considering one with Russia.

YEBIGA,

The contradictions in the US is largely the cronyism rife with the O's type of politics. The Soviet system was a formal Cronyism much as is China, in the US it is still informal. All of the failed cities follow the Chicago way and are of the Cronyist not Capitalist side of politics.

Many have heard of the 3 way separation of power, Executive, Legislative and Judicial, well there is a fourth being Economic that pollies, lawyers and other low-lives (they start a sentence with "I think you should...") need to kept away from.
