Destroy

'...You know what anarchists have always believed.'
'Yes.'
'Tell me,' she said.
'The urge to destroy is a creative urge.'
'This is also the hallmark of capitalist thought. Enforced destruction. Old industries have to be harshly eliminated. New markets have to be re-exploited. Destroy the past, make the future.'
- Don DeLillo
Cosmopolis (2003)

Is Don DeLillo really prescient?
