It’s all-out war on the planet. Chaos (capitalism) rules okay! By William Bowles

[bemildred]

“The dominant trend shaping the present situation … is the advent of ‘neoliberalism’ - a concerted capitalist offensive aimed at sweeping away the gains made by working people during the last century and at deepening the subjugation of Third World countries.” — ‘Cuban Communist Makes the Case for International Revolution

I have to admit to a feeling of being totally overwhelmed by the state of our planet even though I know the chaos that threatens to drown us all is the direct result of an economic system—capitalism—being nothing more than the anarchic addiction of capital accumulation now run riot (the profits that are being made are obscene and the pain of the victims, numbering in the millions, indescribable). That since the 1970s and the advent of so-called neoliberalism, it’s been a no holds barred, free-for-all on the people and the planet.

And If you have the impression that those who claim to be in control are not only totally clueless but are unable to do a damn thing about it, it’s because you’re correct. As they stagger from (self-made) crisis to crisis, invoking all manner of ‘evil forces’ as the cause, they dig an even deeper hole for all of us. They may rule our lives by dint of force and the control exercised by the ruling political classes but they too are swept along by forces they only dimly perceive (if at all).

Indeed, it can be argued that at this point in our social evolution, the ruling elites are the dumbest, the most stupid, the most short-sighted we’ve ever had. In deceiving us they first have to deceive themselves and unfortunately there are millions of ‘managers’ only too willing to carry out the deception for them.

1. Very well said.

Hello all,

I am new here,just found this site today & am glad I did.

I am from the Hudson Valley, NY area. I found this site via the following post... http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x3321982

I am a very concerned citizen & my biggest issue is the Contrail/Chemtrail controversy.

When I found the above mentioned thread I was very happy & relieved to see that their were other concerned citizens in the Hudson Valley area who see what I see.

Not many people do see or want to see what is happening almost daily, in the once blue skies above.

I am looking to find some people both local & far to talk to about this issue, so please don't hesitate to contact me.

Thanks,
WhoAmI

5. You totally nailed it....amazing. ........Welcome to DU WhoAmI....You are in

for an incredible and interesting journey. Try not let some of the
hostility turn you off too much. During election years it gets intense. And this election year, in my opinion, will end up being the most important in the history of our counrty.
Peace.
