Government Debts as Class Swindles
The same politicians who facilitate tax reductions for banks, big corporations, and the wealthiest individuals likewise then facilitate government borrowing money from them.
The Disaster of Utopian Engineering
This column is drawn from notes that Chris Hedges wrote in preparing for a debate held today by the University of Toronto’s Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy. Hedges, speaking from Princeton, N.J., argued for the motion: “Be it resolved, politics isn’t working as usual. It’s time for a revolution.” Opposed was David Brooks, an op-ed columnist for The New York Times who spoke from Washington, D.C. A podcast of the contest will be available later.
{This utopian vision of the market, of course, bears no relationship to its reality. Capitalists hate free markets. They seek to control markets through mergers and acquisitions, buying out the competition. They saturate the culture with advertising to manipulate public tastes and consumption.}
This is explained in the video on the Welcoming page of an interview with Mark Crispin Miller by Abby Martin. A propaganda effort starting around WWI. {They saturate the culture with advertising to manipulate public tastes and consumption.} Propaganda is constantly being used to shaping our society and perception in all aspects of commercial, political, and information. If you don't recognize this I highly suggest giving this discussion your time. Propaganda has various factored areas. This discussion can lead one to understanding why we're at this point today, especially in the political arena. I added it to this post below.
I felt the 2 articles above went hand in hand to post together. Each by people I post here a lot, Chris Hedges and Richard Wolff. Reading material from them this time.
