nice article galbi-- im still reading it, but i will point out some things it says that ive already said. first a quote, then comments:
The essential point of this neoliberal doctrine has been to liberalize the economy, which means encouraging mobility of capital and investment worldwide, eliminating any brake or regulation that may be seen as protectionist, ie that undermine such mobility . As I have indicated on several occasions, such mobility favors the world of big business at the expense of small and medium enterprises and also at the expense of the vast majority of the working class, which, by moving their jobs to other countries with lower wages, it remains without work. The evidence that the impact of so-called free trade agreements has been extremely negative for the welfare of the working class is huge. Since President Clinton signed the free trade agreement in 1994 between the US, Canada and Mexico (NAFTA acronym) per day fifteen factories have left US for countries with lower wages and less social protection. As a result, six million jobs in manufacturing have disappeared.
ok, so here are some things i take from this quote:
* its not just about personalities
* we arent the only ones talking about germany
* problems with these two candidates are about corporations as much as it is about people
* and in that sense, it is not only trump that is a problem.
they even mentioned free trade agreements and thatcher! so i would put it to gcmartin, who wants to paint me as some deluded american with no awareness of global politics, that im ghostwriting articles in spanish now!
(no, but i do like the author of this article.)
also i care more about the working class than trump or hillary-- then again, most people do
Needless to say, the capitalist class (known in the US as Corporate Class- -the corporate class) prefer a person of the same establishment, like Mrs. Clinton, that the candidate Trump, partly because of the unpredictability of the latter
ive said ALL of this.
yes, clinton will be ceo-- i mean president of the united states. if you want to stand against her, speak out. your votes will not help you this term, unless you vote for someone that actually represents you.
trump will not be elected. his primary purpose (not necessarily as part of some scheme, but perhaps inadvertently) is to make you vote for hillary. thats what he will do best. and corporations dont trust him/like him as much as hillary.
nothing new, but nothing wrong with confirmation. we are going to need more (very sadly.) but it will come. also:
His success was the big news hidden by the mainstream media, which clearly favored Hillary Clinton on Sanders, which was against not only the direction and apparatus of the Democratic Party, but all the mainstream media. However, Sanders won the support of voters under age 45
its foolish old democrats ruining the election for everyone else. thanks guys! youre truly the most worthless party: you think you have a monopoly on progress, while youre truly loved by the guy wearing the top hat. pip, pip!
p.s. im proud to know at least TWO people over 45 that are for sanders and dont like hillary.
he victory of the business world was at the expense of the working class. Instead of these class policies, the progressive forces had emphasized identity politics (in favor of minorities and women) in order to promote their integration into the dominant political-economic system in the US. The federal government institutions in response to this strategy, managed through anti-discrimination measures, integrating these minorities and women within the institutions of the system. The election of a black citizen to the US presidency shows the success of these anti-discrimination policies. And a somewhat similar would happen in the event that the candidate Clinton was elected president. But this integration into the established system has not changed the standard of living of most blacks and women in the US, which belong to the working class,
in english: your political correctness is a bit superficial, and doesnt help the working class that need real (less superficial, less identity-focused) change. but the democratic party is about image, so good luck!
