Manifest Destinies and New World Orders

The first people to have a formal manifest destiny in History was the Jewish people. It is a case apart, given the divine bestowal of that space. All empires, before and since, have been in a more torrential way, a self-justified manifest destiny. Geopolitics came to give some comfort to the "vital spaces" of the then present and future and to explain the manifest destiny of the thirteen colonies that revolted until independence.Today's manifest destinies seem more incompatible with each other because the planet has become smaller. The war is now between the old New World Order of Capital over the State and another new world order of the State over capital. After the catastrophe, a despotic and unitarian New World Order will begin again. Only then will the other one begin.
