Dear David, Thank you so much for your deep and personal response and from a Spanish citizens point of view. I think the "prudent" option you spoke about is very well put, and I think surprisingly generous from one who is part of a movem...

In the popular/media parlance of most states, a "conservative" is anyone who supports the foreign policy, and in particular, the violence, of his state with fanatical zeal. A "liberal" is anyone who supports the foreign p...

Well i am not sure what accounts for the discrepancy of civil servants but the rest of it makes perfect sense and seems to me should be done in every country. The early retirement is no more burdensome on the state budget using your numbers if it ...

The Left / Right paradigm is alive and well. Meanings don't change. 1+1 still equals 2. There is a Left and there is a right. By their ideology and policies, liberals are clearly part of the right-wing. They are moderate conservatives or cente...

The silence of liberals on this instance of undeniable censorship should be condemned for the self-serving and poltroonish submission to power that it is. But it is nothing new. Liberals are generally those who support the warmongering of THEIR ...

"There is a striking irony in all this. As noted above, often the same person who raises objections to parecon for being a blueprint later asks all kinds of questions that violate minimalist maximalism. They will ask, how long will people wor...

I actually spent a bit over a decade in Europe. As I was reading what you wrote, I wondered if I had myself fallen prey to that European sophistication/American brutishness myth. I hope not. It was actually from that experience that I concluded t...
