“In contemporary communist societies, the enemy without, backwardness, and the legacy of terror perpetuate the oppressive features of "catching up with and surpassing" achievements of capitalism. The priority of the means over the end is thereby aggravated - a priority which could broken only if pacification is achieved - and capitalism and communism continue to compete without military force, on a global scale and through global institutions. This pacification would mean the emergence of a genuine world economy - the demise of the nation state, the national interest, national business together with their international alliances. And this is precisely the possibility against which the present world is mobilized”
-- Herbert Marcuse
