"We lost because we were crushed. Sometimes we were crushed by army tanks, and sometimes we were crushed by think tanks. And by think tanks I mean the people who are paid to think by the makers of tanks." Naomi Klein on 'Is Another World Possible?' ASA annual meeting.

Naomi is so cute.

She is soooo misinformed.

You must be noticing this by now.

[madashelldude]

@hegemonymony this ill informed condescension is why conservatives lost and will keep losing: your ideas are bankrupt! LITERALLY!

[sweetpotos]

We don't need to tax the capitalists, we need to bury their fat asses under six feet of earth.

[dangoettel100]

@hegemonymony For example...?

@madashelldude it "deprecates", e.g. literally dumpstered or sometimes burnt to produce energy. the unit production price decreases with every unit produced, and following the logic of price and margin-profits producers are better off if they rather waste their surplus products than supplying the market with them resulting in losses to prices. just my uneducated guess based on empirical data ("supermarkets")..

[madashelldude]

@mintoo2cool He was an extreme proponent of NAIRU and as such believed that supply adjusts to demand and it's independent of it, which makes no sense because 70% of our economy is consumption so if you have no demand ie. no wage increase that keeps up with productivity gains where is all that supply of goods and services going to go?! All of that supply Greenspan was "encouraging" with his helicopter monetary policy living in a libertarian laissez-faire lala land called OTC derivatives.

@madashelldude friedman was not laissez faire ... get your information straight

"FREE" market capitalism is what wrecked our economy in Fall '08.

Amazing to see you are still clueless and misinformed.

Goodman and Klein are more aware and educated than you will ever be.

"Naomi Klein: "Is Another World Possible?""

No... sorry, this isn't high school anymore.

It's time to wake up, little budding progressives... this is all 'feel-good' nonsense.

We need more free market capitalism, rule of law and most importantly individual rights and property rights...

You will not get to where you want to go with the antiquated left.

Welcome to the 21st century.

The best movement is that of the heart. The root of the problems we face worldwide can no longer be denied.The lack of confidence to do anything? Fear-taught generational passed on beliefs. We can't do a thing about govt! We've heard that since children from our elders. A media that disinforms with highest best interests for the few? Record levels of poverty rising for most of humanity continue to be the creation of a few. Until we listen within, the weeds amidst remain.  Be as gardeners/love?
