anti-capitalism

The current crisis may not be resolvable by traditional methods and lead to the death of capitalism About 150 years ago, a very brilliant man named Karl Marx, developed an analysis of capitalism that stated that it was doomed to failure like the preceding economic systems of slavery and feudalism. Also, he analyzed history as a continuing class struggle between the haves and have-nots. His ideas so frightened the capitalist class that today the very name of Karl Marx inspires fear in a majority of working class people around the world due to the unrelenting corporate propaganda against his ideas and the man himself. This is true even though his ideas were for the benefit of ordinary working people. This indicates the enormous power and sophistication of the global capitalist propaganda system.

One billionaire investor, Jim Rogers, was quoted thus: "America is more communist than China is right now. You can see that this is welfare of the rich, it is socialism for the rich -- it's just bailing out financial institutions. this is madness, this is insanity, they have more than doubled the American national debt in one weekend for a bunch of crooks and incompetents. I'm not quite sure why I or anybody else should be paying for them."* Nationalization of the US housing market: a big blow to US Imperialism Sean O’Torain US Capitalism's nationalization of Freddie and Fannie is a further sign of a system in severe crisis comment: http://weknowwhatsup.blogspot.com "As the United States activated Navy ships and the Air Force to begin an airlift of non-specified goods into the former Soviet state of Georgia, and military exercises began in the Persian Gulf near Iran, I received communications from certain individuals among the Colorado Greens who were organizing campaign support events there, suggesting that I not participate in an anti-war program being organized by other individuals in Colorado." -Cynthia McKinney DNC Protest, A Mid-Atlantic cluster is psyched to announce that we will be working in Sector 3 in solidarity with the RNC Welcoming Committee's call to disrupt the Republican National Convention!
