It's too bad bill burr has a naive view here of why disasters happen, why wars happen, why malicious people wholly incompatible with humanity accrue power, etc. Someone get this man some theory.
Yep and that's why the evil GDR and USSR still exist, because they brutally used their huge militaries and extensive secret spy networks to kill all those protestors.
Did you read the article posted? even these shit ass liberals admit that state repression against these movements was minimal, except they still have to couch that fact in the same old tired anticommunist lies we've heard for years... "Well no one was really hurt... But they could have been! The government was so scary, and had authority, and was total!"
Alternate title for the glib- Six clowns condemn seventh's circus act. Take a look at the works and ideas these people put forward, and they are really only marginally less serious than trump when it comes to helping the poor or building a welfare net.
Also, these aren't Nobel winners, as in winners of the original categories stipulated by Nobel. Instead they were awarded the Nobel Memorial prize in economics, which was started by the Swedish Central Bank in 1968. It's purpose was to redirect popular and academic attention back towards liberal theories, instead of towards alternatives (ie.Marxists), by way of providing a fake academic gloss and placing economists like Friedman and Hayek on the same level of import as Einstein or Martin Luther King.
The NDP itself is also losing official party status as they were unable to gain 12 or more seats, and will be unable to access certain funds and lose special parliamentary privileges.
Since their high water mark of being the Official Opposition after the 2011 election under Jack Layton, the NDP has triangulated itself to what we see today: a party that refused to leave the shadow of the Liberals.
I'd say that historically fascism is a somewhat nebulous term that tries to cover a few disparate movements, but generally speaking has been a capitalist response to a rising domestic communist movement, and so in Marxism has a very specific/scientific meaning in that regard. So without that movement in the United States currently existing Trump doesn't qualify in my opinion.
Clara Mattei (author of The Capital Order) has become the Director for Heterodox Economics in Tulsa Oklahoma, and last weekend they had their inaugural conference.
Sad that they don't just make it a straight up school of Marxism, but I guess that's probably not an easy sell to donor-alumni. But at least one cool thing came from the conference so far: a database tracking the rate of profit in different countries/sectors.
I would be surprised if prices went down significantly, seems like the oil corps operate as an unofficial cartel. There's not much compelling them to cut prices unless there's a huge drop in demand like a second pandemic, or some kind of government intervention (lol). There's still much oil storage capacity left in Alberta.
