THE STATE AND CAPITALISM


The bait-and-switch heard in the USA that capitalism is anti-state is used along with lies that capitalism uses free-market concepts.  But the most dangerous lie from capitalistic hierarchy is that US-current ideoogy about anti-state-ness is unshackled from imperialism and colonialism.  The blatant FACT of requirement of The Military-Industrial Complex to maintain global supremacy by American oligarchs should be a topic of discussion.

https://portside.org/2022-05-01/different-ways-us-and-chinese-governments-use-their-power-regulate-capitalism     –A more basic and important cause of today’s developing state capitalism is the history of capitalism itself. Its earliest incarnations in Western Europe emerged from and against the strong states of dying feudalism (as seen in Europe’s “absolute monarchies”). Early capitalisms had thus strongly advocated against strong state commitments in concepts such as “laissez-faire,” “free enterprises,” and “free markets.” When British and then U.S. capitalisms achieved profitable global empires, they credited their professed success to their anti-statism. The hypocritical tendency of this claim resurfaces in the fact that it was their state apparatuses whose military arms acquired and secured their colonies and whose administrative arms ruled them.

Similar to a Southern Tier law enforcement officer who warned a public-safety advocate that use of the phrase bomb truck to define vehicles carrying liquified natural gas on local public roads, that he/she could be identified as a domestic terrorist for this apparently Free Speech, hierarchy has a vested interest in controlling what is Free Speech—-https://theintercept.com/2022/04/30/kelloggs-union-terrorists-more-perfect-union/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=The%20Intercept%20Newsletter            –In hushed tones, Hurley described the tactics employed by activists during a nearly 10-week cereal plant strike last fall. The strike prevented concessions from workers and forced Kellogg’s to back off a plan to expand its two-tier wage system. “In my view,” Hurley said, “the union leadership at the bargaining table were behaving more like terrorists than partners.”–end of theintercept info–

Curfew For Anniversary Of Odessa Massacre That Sparked Rebellion—Authorities in the Ukrainian port city of Odessa have set a 24-hour curfew from May 1-3 to prevent protests commemorating the burning alive on May 2, 2014 of 48 people who had rejected the U.S.-backed coup in Kiev earlier that year.

The city, which is  “(under the control of Ukrainian troops) announced the introduction of a ‘curfew’ in the city from 22-00 on May 1 to 5-00 on May 3. For the duration of the ‘curfew’ Odessans are not allowed to leave their homes,” said the group Repression of the Left and Dissenters in Ukraine in a Telegram post. “Obviously, this decision of the authorities is due to the fact that May 2 is a very important date for the inhabitants of Odessa.”

Many of the topics addressed in the links above should be transparently discussed, if a functioning democracy is still important to Americans.  C-Span offers a platform for some discussion on topics that are raised during open forum, or other forum closely controlled by the hosts of C-Span.  So far, it is a good platform for a modicum of open discussion.  Today was no different—-7:20AM–caller–paraphrase all—-The US shouldn’t be in Ukraine.response from host—paraphrase all–what could Russia do to make you approve of US military action in Ukraine?caller answer–paraphrase—Your question seems the impetus to force disclosure to pro-war entities of what would support their primary goal of military action
People could consider that war isn’t 1 nation against another as much as it is upper echelon of each nation against local communities.  We would do well to understand that contrary to recent insinuation from the USA that attacks against local-community citizens is a war crime, that war is ostensibly nothing other than military attacks on local community citizens.  This seems to be a holdover from feudalism, still accepted by the public as something other than hierarchical terrorism.

After ten years of war, Troy has fallen to the Greeks, and Cassandra is now a prisoner, shackled up outside the gates of Agamemnon’s Mycenae. Through memories of her childhood and reflections on the long years of conflict, Cassandra pieces together the fall of her city. From a woman living in an age of heroes, here is the untold personal story overshadowed by the battlefield triumphs of Achilles and Hector.

Stories of war seem to easily ignore the voices of women; as though women were not impacted by war.
C-Span at—7:47AM–the host shows a video of a Sunday-morning news show in which Senator Menendez says we must spend whatever it takes (paraphrase) to win in the Ukraine so our sons and daughters won’t need to fight.  (It should be mentioned that, according to an exchange between Senator Menendez and a MSNBC reporter he implied was his daughter, she seems too busy spewing the Party line to be called to physically soldier in any war.)
The government/media revolving door is troublesome.  FACTually speaking, one believes capitalism is firmly in control of both state and media.

The US Constitution doesn’t seem to sanction elections run by political Parties, and to permit control of political debates by political Parties seems equally corrupt.

That “we are a 2-Party system” is a fabrication of the Republican/Democratic duopoly and spread by MSM.  In FACT the majority of voters aren’t either registered Democratic or Republican.  The censorship about this info must be envied by bureaucrats of the Former USSR and their simplistic style of 1-Party elections.  

Regardless of which character sits in the Oval Office, We The People have work to do to maintain principles of our democratic (small d) Constitutional republic.  Several items to challenge—*We need the integrity of ranked-choice voting so voters won’t feel compelled to “hold your nose and vote”*Censored debates must be stopped.  The Democratic/Republican duopoly pretends to legitimate debates in what is nothing other than another campaign show.  Independent debates run by uninterested sponsors such as The League of Women Voters, must be restored.  (Access www.debates.org to understand the extent of duopoly control).  The so-called Debate Commission is a corporation to promote the Democratic corporation and Republican corporation, not to inform We The People*Challenge and stop gerrymandering that is a trick especially of the Republican branch of the duopoly.*Stop voter suppression by political Parties, and especially confront and stop Party suppression, which is the over-arching approach to voter suppression.  Party suppression seems to have been the responsibility of the Democratic corporation*Promote by law ranked-choice voting, so we won’t be told again, by D&R duopoly, to “hold your nose and vote”
If these issues are handled, our next elections can be honorable.

WITHDRAWS SUPPORT FROM FINAL PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE–end of lwv info–Murray Bookchin, who founded social ecology, a theory that strongly influenced early Green Socialist thought, strongly advocated the discussion and study group as the first step of any revolutionary movement. A group of individuals meets to expand their knowledge of radical thought and form a radical intellectual community; through the give and take of discussion, can eventually form ideas for next steps in organizing and political activity. According to Bookchin, study groups help create solidarity and a shared language — with a shared coherent vision — for building a mass, organizing, political movement!
