Recently Mike Konczal ("'Corporatism' is the Latest Hysterical Right-Wing Accusation," The New Republic, December 15) attacked "corporatism" as a pernicious right-wing meme, ostensibly aimed at exposing Obama's policies for "enriching the well-off" but in reality a "reactionary" agenda freeing big business from accountability.
The "arc" of capitalism, is about 600 years long, from 1500 to 2100. It is our particular (mis)fortune to be living through the beginning of the end, the disintegration of capitalism as a world system. It was mostly commercial capital in the sixteenth century, evolving into industrial capital in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and then moving on to financial capital—money created by money itself, and by speculation in currency—in the twentieth and twenty-first. In dialectical fashion, it will be the very success of the system that eventually does it in.
In a symbolic rejection of US capitalism, Bolivia announced it will expel the Coca-Cola Company from the country at the end of the Mayan calendar. This will mark the end of capitalism and usher in a new era of equality, the Bolivian govt says.
From the front-lines of conflicts in Mexico, Argentina, South Africa, Palestine, Korea, and the North; from Seattle to Genova, and the War on Terror in New York, Afghanistan, and Iraq, this is the story of men and women around the world who resist being annihilated in this war.
97% Owned is a new documentary that reveals how money is at the root of our current social and economic crisis. Featuring frank interviews and commentary from economists, campaigners and former bankers, it exposes the privatised, debt-based monetary system that gives banks the power to create money, shape the economy, cause crises and push house prices out of reach. Fact-based and clearly explained, in just 60 minutes it shows how the power to create money is the piece of the puzzle that economists were missing when they failed to predict the crisis.
We've all seen how the Zionist Conservatives (Moderaterna) have sold out virtually everything they could of municipal and county municipal operations. But the question is whether Filippa Reinfeldt has gone too far in her quest to practically give away the kitchen sink (by selling government busineses)!!
Once upon a time there was a group of capitalists that became very hungry for human labor.
The Lightbulb Conspiracy aka "Pyramids of Waste", a documentary on planned obsolescence.
If you liked "too big to fail," you will LOVE this!
Obama's solution for the Depression is supply-side economics, whose champions claim that if the government cuts taxes on the wealthy, then the wealthy will invest in new factories, and hire new workers, thereby producing tax revenue.
"The contracts in the oil fields are absolutely sacrosanct"
...if you still have a job, that is.
The first is a clear, catchy, and compelling short advertisment for State Banks. The second is a longer discussion of the true cost of interest and alternatives. Highly recommeneded.
In the face of the current disaster of the capitalist system, one can ldetermine that capitalism's ideology, its promises for societal well-being, were false from the start. One can no longer defend capitalism in good faith. Marx was right, over a century and a half ago: capitalism has hung itself in its excess, in its greed for more and more and more.

The shameful, unacceptable media coverage of Chelsea Manning's transition
By Jos | Published: August 23, 2013
TweetWhen Chelsea Manning announced yesterday that she is transitioning and wants to be referred to by the name Chelsea and with female pronouns, news organizations scrambled to figure out what to do. Many published articles with bizarre headlines like, "Manning Says He Is Female and Wants to Lives as a Woman." Which is ridiculous, because Chelsea [...]

I have been working in the field of Theatre and the Performing Arts for the last 25 years as an actor, director, writer and teacher. In 1995, I suffered a back injury that left me immobile for 6 weeks. I recovered but was left feeling very stiff and nervous of moving. For an active director and performer, this was disastrous! Luckily, I was introduced to the Feldenkrais Method by another theatre director and I was amazed at how quickly I not only recovered but improved my range of movement as well as my confidence and self esteem.
I am now a qualified teacher/practitioner of the Feldenkrais Method and work with a variety of people: students and professionals in Theatre, Dance, Music and Puppetry. (including students from Central School of Speech & Drama (CSSD), The London School of Puppetry, University of Lincoln, University of Hull and University Centre Doncaster). I also run classes for the general public - people looking for easier everyday movement, better performance in sports and recovery from injury and illness.
I'm interested not only in running classes and individual sessions for people but also in taking Feldenkrais into the workplace. The Feldenkrais Method doesn't need special equipment or outfits - just a comfortable space to sit or lie down - and a chance to take time for yourself. I have students who ask me how often do I do Feldenkrais and I reply "all the time".

WASHINGTON – Hope and change, allow me to introduce you to money and lobbyists. Compromise and bi-partisanship, come meet ideological purity. Now, let's see if we can get some work done.
With his rousing State of the Union speech, President Obama almost had me persuaded, once again, that he can change a political culture that is self-indulgent, hyper-partisan and steeped in monied special interests. He was, by turns, funny and contrite, firm and mature, using his bully pulpit to urge Congress to abandon a "perpetual campaign where the only goal is to see who can get the most embarrassing headline about the other side — a belief that if you lose, I win."
Though the president has had a tough first year — a year of Republican obstructionism, bi-partisan pettiness and legislative sausage-making — his powerful commitment to keep on trying to overcome gridlock restored my idealism. For a moment or two.
Then, I remembered that there were lobbyists and professional

You wake up healthy
but you don't feel right. Now everything's
backwards and you're thinking of someone to blame.
And you do, you're lucky,
drinking coffee was easy, the traffic's
moving along, you're like
everyone else just trying to get through the day
and the place you're dreaming of seems possible—
somewhere to get to.
All you really know
is that it hurts here, the way feelings
are bigger than we are, and a woman's face
in a third-story window, her limp hair
and the pots of red geraniums luring you
into her suffering until you're walking on roads
inscribed in your own body. The maps
you never speak of. Intersections, train stations,
roadside benches, the names of places and
people you've known all bearing the weight
of cashing a check or your having to eat something,
of glimpsing the newspaper's ghoulish headlines.
Like everyone else, you think,
the struggle is toward a better time, though
no pressure surrounds the house you were born in.
Cool, quieter, a vast primitive light
where nothing happens but the sound
of your sole self breathing.
And you've decisions to make. Isn't that why
you've come? with a bald-headed man at the bar
and your friends all over the place, anxious,
tired, a little less sturdy than you'd hoped for
and needing someone to kick around, someone to love.

The star spoke to Oprah Winfrey about her troubled past and her plans for the future
After years of struggles, Lindsay Lohan has finally admitted that she's addicted to drugs and alcohol. The troubled star made the admission in a much-anticipated interview with Oprah Winfrey just four days after completing her sixth stint in rehab.
When Oprah asked if the actress was an addict, Lindsay said yes, adding that her drug of choice was alcohol but that drinking "was a gateway to other things for me. I tried cocaine with alcohol."
The 27-year-old added she'd only tried the illegal drug 15 times. "I never felt good the next day. It allowed me to drink more," she explained. "I think that's why I did. And it was a party thing – people would have it and I would do it."
"I snorted it," she continued. "I've never injected anything, except getting B12 shots! But yeah, it went hand in hand with drinking."
Lindsay also said she had given up Adderall, the ADHD prescription drug she had taken for years.
"That's a big deal," she told Oprah, admitting she was addicted to the pills. "Because that's all I knew. I was convinced that it did ground me. But I don't need it [now]."
The last few years of Lindsay's life have been a rollercoaster of arrests, court appearances and time spent behind bars. But she told Oprah her run-ins with the law didn't have an impact on her bad behaviour.
"It didn't really hit me," she said. "Because I'm an addict. You would think in that situation, someone would be like 'I need to check myself'. It's the definition of insanity; doing the same thing over and over again."
This time, however, is different. She's declared her court-ordered stint at the Cliffside Malibu to have been a success because, for the first time, she wanted to be there.
"The other times it tended to be a punishment," Lindsay explained. "I don't think I've ever fully surrendered to the fact that I just need to shut up and listen. In this case, I wasn't fighting at all. I just let go."
Since leaving the clinic, the star has vowed to stay "present and clear-headed and focused," adding, "I feel whole again. I have such a desire to want to keep this feeling and stay this way and I'm willing to do whatever it takes."
The interview with Lindsay Lohan airs on Oprah's network, OWN and TV channel TLC
