Your version is plenty uncut and soggy as well. A significant amount of land buys involved evictions of peasants. There was plenty of violence in the arab revolts against British rule, when Jewish militia acted as…
> But ... what then keeps us in the status quo of fluoridated water supplies? > ...thinking that everyone who made these claims sounded like General Ripper.
Is milk a brand name? I thought it was just a word for boob juice.
There's definitely more at play than just bad thoughts. Actions result from emotions and expectations that are conditioned by complex patterns of social behavior reinforced by material pressures and legal institutions…
Um, have you been to America before, or read any of it's history? Of course we don't openly discuss the racialized class of cheap reserve peon labor that is maintained for everyone else's benefit, that would be super…
Having the global reserve currency is a pretty big difference too. The base economy of the Lebanese government is Lebanon, the base economy of the US government is the world.
Yeah, I hate when woke liberals and college administrators go on about their Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution and subverting the bourgeois counter-revolution, good grief.
You realize that historically labor unions predated government laws about labor unions, right?
I'm not sure this is true. I recall from listening to the Blowback podcast that Castro initially tried to align with the US, and there was disagreement among US leaders about whether he was friend or foe. But we had a…
Yeah, that's really not so different from being sold naked in irons at slave auctions for centuries. Also similar is the way everyone can identify jews by the star on their foreheads, and mormons by the bright glow of…
No, flouride was the chemical they were trying to get rid of.
It's a good thing cavities are the only negative health effect of poverty, just give em fluoride!
In political economy literature, the Soviet Union is often called a "state capitalist" type of economy rather than communist. It functioned as a giant corporation in global capitalism.…
He might mean energy efficiency. We just have access to way more energy these days, and we've been slurping that milkshake hard.
I'm quite sure the CIA's first choice would be to deny any association and convince the media to downplay it, which they certainly have the leverage to do, especially in this age of fast news.
That's the opposite of anarchy. An-arch-y means a situation without fixed power structures.
What's inexplicable about it? They're called the Labour party, not the Remain party.
I just watched a video where Graeber points out that Boris Johnson himself wrote a novel promoting anti-Semitic conspiracy theories, but not a single article was written about Tory anti-Semitism in prominent papers…
I'm not aware of any essential nutrients lacking from a plant-based diet, aside from maybe B12, which is supplemented in animal feed and besides would probably be provided by soil bacteria if agricultural soil was…
I'm not an expert on the labor theory of value, but I do know that's not a valid interpretation of it. For one thing, I believe it applies only at a macro, or sectoral, level.
> They have quite an ambitious space program, several successful satellite missions, and 2 astronauts (so far). Their Mars orbiter is launching next month.
When you talk of real wealth being lost, I'm curious how exactly you see that happening. I do agree with your points about exacerbating inequality, but that's as a consequence of the status quo structure of our economy,…
I can't imagine there's any healthcare system that has more bureaucracy than the US.
Textbooks get the causation backwards on that, the order of events is actually "economic collapse, hyperinflation, failed state"
The reality is that currency-issuing federal governments everywhere run perpetual deficits (and some economists argue they have no revenue constraints at all.) States can't do this.
