The question is not what is wrong with the imperial core but what is wrong with the left of the imperial core. Reactionary societies are the result of a weak, opportunist-riddled and idealistic left.
Good ass book and I’m surprised people sleep on Losurdo considering he’s a Parenti type figure in western academia with lots of quirky opinions. I gues antiimperialism is a deal breaker for them

Domenico Losurdo answered to that question very well in his book Western Marxism: https://mronline.org/2025/01/11/domenico-losurdo-western-marxism-how-it-was-born-how-it-died-how-it-can-be-reborn/
