i can answer that, the gop, wants to destroy the working poor, oh wait they already have, and the rich has done nothing but profit off of this, and to me, the free market in some countries resembles fascism it is forced down people's throat, and it is not done in the best interest of the people in general, just big corporations, that is all

Naomi Klein you rock!  Wealthy corporatists, billioinaires, pay your fair share!

[theguitarczar]

These guys have "been at this" for much more than thirty years. The word capitalist is predatory by nature. You people with delusional ideals of what this means have no legitimate argument for it. You only get loud and repeat the propaganda you;ve been brainwashed with. The free market should only exist for non-essential goods.

[BB Conklin]

I despise Naomi Klein. I don't think her book is free on the web is it? People like her get rich off of the system of free markets and then turn around and bash it at every turn. Makes me sick,,

[benandreas369]

If you think that the Republicans and Democrats are different.. you are DELUSIONAL. Both support Corporatism. Obama's top three donors in 08 were Big Pharma, and Big Banks. Both parties pretend like they hate each other because they want to divide us, but behind the scenes, they get together to benefit themselves, not the majority of people. BOTH PARTIES DO THIS. WAKE THE FUCK UP. Ex: Obama signs NDAA, extends Bush Tax Cuts, and bombs Gaza strip the day he earns Nobel Peace Prize.

"Trying to achieve ideological aims that people wouldn't vote for..."

That made me think of gay marriage--zero for thirty-two in statewide referenda...

(Naomi is very hot for a fortyish dyed-in-the-wool socialist whose grandparents were communists...)

[kylio27]

How many jobs have you created for the economy?

[Yuri muckraker]

Love Naomi Klien, her book the shock doctrine should be taught in unis and used for research, she also is my kind of lady who i'd love to date hehe!

[Nina Judson]

Naomi is a hot MILF.



[ThisbeandPyramus]

being "non-partisan" and being "obective" are not synonymous.

Being objective is searching for the truth regardless of whether it's what you want to know. Being non-partisan is being a camp counsellor who wants to avoid a whining child.

[kaunas888]

A much as Naomi is right about so much, she is too partisan to be objective. How about his idea; both wall street and the public unions are screwing us, the government is emeshed with corporate America, so they are essentially the same. Naomi cannot see that both sides are bad and instead continues to hawk biased leftist rhetoric.
