Breaking news... (fake but accurate ™ )
Nitin (who is a capitalist oppressor) in this post disclosed that one more enemy of proletariat will be joining the hegemonist portal (http://www.nationalinterest.in/). Although he declined to reveal the identity of latest danger to kleptocratic socialist character to Indian republic. This blog has through old fashioned investigative journalism unearthed probable list of future blogger. The list of the candidates are below.
1) Lord Voldemort - Known to be an aggressive merger & acquisition specialist in the world of wizards, he has long been hailed as a role model for a free market enterprise. From his modest begining as an orphan to his rise as most dreaded dark wizard, he might have come long way but he remains commited to idea of a society based on capitalist ideal. On being asked about the possibility he refused to answer, significantly however, he was seen wearing "I heart acorn" T Shirts.
2) Ghost of Gengis Khan - One of the earliest supporters of gloabalization, his spirit has responded favourably to the prospect of joining the portal of dreaded extremists. However difficulties owing to non availability of interface which support blogging for ghosts.
3) Hannibal Lector - An avowed anarcho-libertarian, he has been known to cook up interesting albeit provoking dishes. The blogger did not approach the professor, not being enthused by the prospect of possible transformation into gastronomical delight. However, the experts consider him to be a strong contender for the den of evil portal.
4) HAL 9000 - Rational, logical, cold, inhuman in other words an ideal capitalist.
5) Darth Vader - While his views on market are not known, he has terrorized millions of viewers by endless (and meaning less ) saga of stars wars. This is reason enough to include him in the legion of vile profiteers
Update On suggestion of Cynical Nerd The other hegemonist here are two additions
6) Mogambo (not this, but this) - As anyone (who was not too busy Sridevi-navel gazing ) will vouch, Mogambo was the lone warrior for free market and global trade in a socialist India.
While Mr India (clearly a lame attempt to present nationalist parochialism in egalitarian set up)
was able to thwart his plans to bring Wal Mart to India, Mogambo is quite upbeat about his prospect of oppresseing the oppressed Indians.
7) Zakhaku - Main antagonist of Captain Tara in Space City Sigma (Which was lifted by Gene Roddenberry to create Star Trek and before wimpy Milind Soman enacted Captain Vyom, a blemish on Sigma) With the exception of Darth Varder all the villains above were limited to creating misery only on a planet level. In contrast this great figure operated on a galatic level and in the true tradition of capitalist low lifes sucked the lifeblood of billions.

Just came across your blog entry while searching for Space City Sigma :) on Google. Ref point 7, Gene Roddenbery did NOT lift Star Trek from SCS - Star Trek had been around for generations by the mid-80s.
Skroderider,
Apologies for late comment,
I think it is clear that Gene roddenberry travelled to future in time machine and stole the idea for Space city sigma.
