The people in the United States will eventually launch a civil war against the minority capitalist cartels who are making enormous profits at the cost of the people's sufferings, a political analyst tells Press TV."Ultimately, people in the US are turning these international wars of aggression around and they are turning them into a civil war against the one percent that profits it as human suffering goes on," said Caleb Maupin, with the International Action Center from New York, in a Wednesday interview with Press TV.
Maupin pointed to Washington's resolve to continue its military adventurism across the world amid the deepening economic crisis in the country and the aggravating life conditions for the American public.
"Fundamentally, this is because the bankers and the one percent that run this country, the wealthy ruling class, have profits to be made from international aggression and from committing crimes and that is an outrage," he added.
"People are realizing that here in the US and that is why we are seeing all these uprisings; that is why these demonstrations are happening," the analyst pointed out.
