Las naciones que han disfrutado del poder marítimo incluso durante un breve periodo -Atenas, Escandinavia, Países Bajos, Inglaterra, Estados Unidos- son las que han preservado la libertad para sí mismas y la han dado a los demás. Del despotismo al que conduce un poder militar desenfrenado tenemos muchos ejemplos, desde Alejandro hasta Mao.

• Bernie Sanders talks about socialism in Scandinavia, and he's correct to point to the huge victories the working class has won there through struggle, such as socialized medicine, free college education, and paid family leave. But if you talk to working people in Sweden or Norway today, you will find out that many of those past gains have been eroded and some virtually eliminated, including massive under-funding of healthcare and other public services and a return to for-profit systems that are unaffordable to working class people.
