The freer the society the more sophisticated its system of thought control and indoctrination.The ruling elite, clever and class-conscious, make sure of that...chomsky.info Beyond the Doctrinal FrameworkJoined July 2014
You need only look at the parts of Europe that were colonized.Those parts - like Ireland - are much like the 3rd World.The patterns are striking. So when people in the 3rd World blame the history of imperialism for their plight - they have a very strong case to make.

When the Russian system was finally collapsing,I was asked by a leftest journal,to write an article on,ya know,what does it mean when socialism collapses.And I wrote an article and I said this is a small victory for socialism - they refused to publish it.

Others are the domestic colonization by which the poor subsidize the rich, and the contempt for democracy…Yet another enduring theme is the self-righteousness in which plunder, slaughter, and oppression are clothed.

The outbreak of a crisis follows a situation where demand for labor is very strong and wages rise…in reality this phenomenon is not the cause of the crisis but only its ‘stormy petrel’ as Marx calls it in the 2nd Volume of Capital; it is a mere subsidiary factor to circumstance.
The introduction (to Animal Farm) was about censorship in England. (Orwell) said, “Look, this is a satire about a totalitarian state, but we shouldn’t be self-righteous — it’s not that different in free England.”

There are some questions you don’t ask, as was pointed out by George Orwell years ago. He wrote an essay, an important essay…..and it was not published, incidentally. It was the introduction to Animal Farm, which everybody’s read in school
- But you didn’t read any introduction.
The capitalist method of producing a world market goes hand-in-hand with decimation & even extermination of whole tribes.This process, still going on, has accompanied capitalist development since the discovery of America.

Socialism used to mean something.If you go back far enough it meant basically control of production by producers, elimination of wage labor, democratization of all spheres of life…workers control in factories, community control of communities and so on - That was socialism once.
If capital were to wait for the increase of its consumers through natural reproduction it would still be…in the swaddling clothes of its manufacturing period. In fact, capital does not dream of waiting.Rather, it uses other abbreviated methods to expand the basis of accumulation
Madison, who was the main framer of the #Constitution, was opposed to democracy, contrary to what you’re taught. He felt power should be in the hands of the wealth of the nation – the set of men who have sympathy for property owners and their rights.

For as long as we’re not wandering around in thin air but standing on the surface of this capitalist earth, what incentive do capitalists have to make use of technological progress and invest ever larger sums in constant capital if the whole benefit is only for the working class?
According to Marx the creation of relative surplus value, the increase in the rate of exploitation through the cheapening of the labour force, is the only objective reason for the capitalist class as a whole to promote technological progress.

Crystallex sent a letter to the US Treasury asking to seize Vzlan assets. US authorities denied the request yet pledged to revisit the stance in 2022. They say that's when Guaidó's Natl Assembly's term "expires". It really expired in Jan 2021 but US puppets just make up new rules

Speaking of dishonesty, no one does it better than Reuters. Here it says sanctions were meant to "press Maduro to restore democracy". Because these stenographers just take the State Dept's word that democracy needs "restoring". "Democracy" stands for "subservience" to empire

What's the rule for drug organizations? Don't get high on your own supply. In the case of the US empire, officials and corporate journos have forgotten that long ago, and the drug is US exceptionalism. One of the symptoms is accusing others of what the US is guilty of (thread)
