Subject: to deal in straight power concepts polit.
Выражение встречается в сл. контексте:

We have about 60 percent of the world’s wealth but only 6.3 percent
of its population. In this situation we cannot fail to be the object of
envy and resentment. Our real task in the coming period is to devise a
pattern of relationships which will permit us to maintain this position
of disparity. We need not deceive ourselves that we can afford today
the luxury of altruism and world benefaction. We should cease to talk
about such vague and unreal objectives as human rights, the raising
of living standards and democratization. The day is not far off when
we are going to have to deal in straight power concepts. The less we
are then hampered by idealistic slogans, the better.

Заранее пасиба
