Forum Post Howe: 36.6%

Don't you have to add the Nazis to the New Democracysts? In that case you're at 36.6%. Still not far off statistical error, really.

After having lived outstide the U.S. since the late 90's I find upon my return a fragmented, polarized, and contentious land, although some are energized in the Occupy movement, I witness a pervasive sence of impotency, powerlessness.  We...

It's nice to see another academic stepping outside of the obdurate state-capitalist fold.

Michalis Spourdalakis said "The Argentinean situation is different from that of Greece. Even if one leaves aside the fact that it has been over a decade since this country’s default, during which we witnessed radical development...

“None of the capitalist leaders wants a chaotic disintegration of the eurozone, but none of them has any policies capable of resolving the crisis.” How fortunate the author is a mind reader who knows what “capitalist leade...

Walsh wrote of Argentina’s default and defiance of elite investors at the end of 2001 “There was mass unemployment and a huge rise in absolute poverty. Only after several years of crisis did the Argentinean economy begin to recover,...

Understood and agreed.  The idea that we should allot "decision making power to the degree that each is affected" is a good organizing principle, but difficult to implement as it entails a lot of agreement about who is involved and ...

Thanks for your comments. I agree with you regarding the protection of minorities. Any decision making body (work place or OWS type assemblies) should protect its minorities by giving it special prerogatives. However, if by minority we mean thos...

Thanks David and Stephen for posting your conversation.  I found David's comments about the nature of consensus to be insightful because the problem he mentions(ie -  that of a minority holding a the majority hostage).  This is ...

While one would hardly know if from the U.S.'s mainstream media (although yes through this website), Venezuela is a world leader and example for the world.  Under the leadership of Hugo Chavez, amazing things have been happening in this L...

I agree to that. As I live in the same region and I´m as well a member of the same party I like to see sb. reporting about it. However it´s sad that we meet on an US-American homepage instead of local meetings. But the main reason for...

The misfortune of the Left has been badly under-reported, at least from the standpoint of those who care about it. I think they are necessary, the Greens and SPD having abandoned so much of what once made them valuable.

Forum Post Howe: Gosh

Gosh, you'd think the troika would immediately convert Greek loans to low-interest eurobonds, bring in a package of reforms designed to reduce tax evasion and unemployment while "Germany" and co. would immediately commit to economic ...

Forum Post Howe: Incredibly unjust electoral law

The "first past the post" system is the most widely used electoral system in the world. Canada's current government holds an absolute majority after winning less than 40% of the popular vote; an earlier majority was elected with 38.5...

Great piece and at last speaks to the realities of Greek politics.

Forum Post Waters: Smash the State

Forum Post, May, 08 2012 Joseph Waters

Some argue that we shouldn't act to undermine and destroy the state because there is currently nothing to replace it, but there will never be a fully-functional replacement until the state is gone. I like Socialists winning elections as a symb...

I think it was already understood that the agreement had no democratic legitimacy. Remember that George Papandreou was forced out of government for suggesting a referendum on the loan package.
