The Relevance of Marxism
Karl Marx Some of the predictions made by Karl Marx during his analysis of capitalism that have proved to be accurate and one that has yet to come to pass.

[Some snippets of comments to the article:

"this thing here" wrote:

name a single country on the face of this earth that has a purely capitalist economy....it's impossible...

now, like a gigantic flashing red light trying to tell us something, perhaps we should all notice how a vast majority of the economies on this planet are mixed to one degree or another. even america's...

"Konrad Adenauer" responded:
...I don't consider myself a doctrinaire follower of any "ism" of any variety. However, I think it's important to avoid simplistic mantras of any sort in economics or politics. While few people today would embrace simplistic Marxist slogans of the sort that were the stock in trade of the East Bloc authoritarian regimes, plenty of people are willing to assume that capitalism as we know it today is some kind of natural, inevitable state of affairs, or even that "it's always been this way." And it's even more important to disabuse ourselves of the airy fairy tales of capitalist propaganda of the sort that Marx debunked more than a century ago but that live on alive and well in the imaginations of millions to this day, than it is to ward off the dangers of left "utopianism."]

'Revolution!' - Iraqi Whispers Mull Repeat Of 1920s Revolt Against Western Occupation
Whispers of "revolution" are growing louder in Baghdad this month at teahouses, public protests and tribal meetings as Iraqis point to the past as an omen for the future.

Iraqis remember 1920 as one of the most glorious moments in modern history, one followed by nearly eight decades of tumult. The bloody rebellion against British rule that year is memorialized in schoolbooks, monuments and mass-produced tapestries that hang in living rooms.

Now, many say there's an uncanny similarity with today: unpopular foreign occupiers, unelected governing bodies and unhappy residents eager for self-determination. The result could be another bloody uprising.

A good friend of mine- and exlover, used to sing these lyrics to me over and over when we were traveling. It would make me laugh and laugh. I would be grinning cheek to cheek trying to join in and sing the lyrics to this song with him. Our dimples mirroring each other we still couldn't keep the same rythm. He had a perfect Jello Biafra imitation, I had something else all together. Anyway this song is so funny, from the title to the last line. My favorite line is, show your grandson who's the boss.

Did it ever occur to you that when President Bush says, "Money is the lifeblood of terrorist operations," he's talking about your money -- and every other American's money?

Just about everyone with a 401(k) pension plan or mutual fund has money invested in companies that are doing business in so-called rogue states.

In other words, there are U.S. companies that are helping drive the economies of countries like Iran, Syria and Libya that have sponsored terrorists.

The increase comes despite peace moves requiring Israel to halt construction in the settlements. The interior ministry said 5415 Israelis had moved to the new settlements since January, with the ultra-Orthodox West Bank settlement of Beitar Illit seeing the largest jump of more than 1000 newcomers.

9-11: secret RESEARCH TEAM disbanded in 1988 seeking ways to cheaply remove WTCs
WTC7: why architect say WTC7 go covert-----and find below: statement from an accidental witness to the 1988 disbanding of the WTC's demolition team, disbanded because of the incredible expense of billions of dollars it would have taken to remove WTC1 and WTC2. Expensive only if it was done legally that is...

THERE IS A HUGE MOTIVATOR TO REMOVE THEM WITHOUT BILLLIONS IN COST: In other words, the motivation to take them down illegally was VERY HIGH. So, when you put 2 and 2 togther with other known connections (US secret police to both the failed 1993 and successful 2001 attempts to INTENTIONALLY take them down)---explains a lot about FBI/CIA being in on both of these these illegal attempts at demolition in 1993 and 2001:

a) 1993 bombing created with a fake cover context of "arab terrorism" to take them down, is very similar to the
b) 2001 fake context of "arab terrorism" in 2001--except that a lot more interests had time to simmer for 8 more years and many more ideas were bundled into the 2001 WTC demolitions. In this later case, the cover story was elaborated---even adapted--from existing Arab terror plans. The US made sure it was done 'right. By 'right, I mean it was to be a useful example of how state terror could help out the Bush family interests consolidate power: 2001 version of illegal demolition of the WTCs extended into a cause for global war by adding in 'the icing on the WTCs cake'--fake hits on the Pentagon and other potential DC targets (fourth plane failed to reach its target, though would have). They said it themselves, they were ready with the shadow government that very day.

Personally, this is the second statement from this team that I believe I have read. I have read a statement by an architect who was dismissed from this or a similar team. This is the statement from the 'accidental photographer,' accidentally included into the group in 1988.

Arundhati Roy's Jan 16 speech to World Social Forum in Mumbai:"The New American Century"
Arundhati Roy We have to become the global resistance to the occupation. Our resistance has to begin with a refusal to accept the legitimacy of the US occupation of Iraq. It means acting to make it materially impossible for Empire to achieve its aims. It means soldiers should refuse to fight, reservists should refuse to serve, workers should refuse to load ships and aircraft with weapons. It certainly means that in countries like India and Pakistan we must block the US government's plans to have Indian and Pakistani soldiers sent to Iraq to clean up after them.

I suggest we choose by some means two of the major corporations that are profiting from the destruction of Iraq. We could then list every project they are involved in. We could locate their offices in every city and every country across the world. We could go after them. We could shut them down. [ANY TAKERS THAT THIS MEANS SHUTTING DOWN HALLIBURTON, AS A SUGGESTION. WHAT WOULD BE ANOTHER?]

It's a question of bringing our collective wisdom and experience of past struggles to bear on a single target. It's a question of the desire to win. The Project for the New American Century seeks to perpetuate inequity and establish American hegemony at any price, even if it's apocalyptic. The World Social Forum demands justice and survival. For these reasons, we must consider ourselves at war.

This is so for two reasons. First, none of the leading contenders has promised a radical break with Bush's policies. Second-and more importantly-powerful forces would push a Democratic administration to continue many of Bush's policies whether it wanted to or not.
