ejection/39532

 

The motion to reject the government program was only opposed by the ruling
coalition, all other parliamentary forces (Socialists, Left Bloc,
Communists, the Green Party and People-Animals-Nature) carried the motion.

 

The government was overthrown and the President has 2 choices - to appoint a
new prime-minister (Antonio Costa, socialist, supported by all the left wing
parties in parliament) or to keep this government as an interim government
until new elections can be held (6 months from the previous elections).

In 1938 the Swedish trade unions (Landsorganisationen) and the SAF, the 
Swedish equivalent of the Chamber of Commerce (Svenska 
arbetsgivareföreningen), signed an accord at Saltsjöbaden that would 
define the parameters of class peace for the next forty years. Under 
successive Social Democratic (SAP) governments, the system became known 
as “socialism” even though it was really a welfare state and nothing 
more. One of the more unfortunate aspects of the Bernie Sanders campaign 
is that it keeps this myth alive even though measured by the standards 
of the 1938 agreement Sweden has not been “socialist” for more than 25 
years.

(Salvage gets it right. Why can't Jacobin?)

Anti-anti-Assad-ism has it that the refugees are fleeing Syria because 
the US and its allies have funded an Islamist counter-insurgency against 
an anti-imperialist regime. Plans are supposedly afoot for more 
extensive intervention, for regime change along the lines of Baghdad 
2003. Daesh is the weapon deployed (all of the Syrian oppositions being 
assimilated into it in this account), and it was, in the words of Seamus 
Milne, ‘incubated by the West’s supporting and arming an opposition they 
knew to be dominated by extreme sectarian groups’.


Scepticism on any of these points can provoke heavy-handed contempt for 
‘gullibility’ about the perfidious US. So let us be clear: that the US 
would be willing to carry out this (or almost any other) plan is not in 
doubt. Whether it did, however, in this case, and whether the Syrian 
revolt was as so depicted, are questions susceptible to logic and 
evidence. In fact, the popular revolutionary character of the Syrian 
uprising in its early days has been documented by participants and 
observers – the Syria Freedom Forever website being an excellent point 
to start. Partisans of this imperialist conspiracy narrative, however, 
are somewhat impervious to such data.

On October 27, the ongoing war without guns between the Spanish state and
Catalonia entered a critical new phase. On that day the newly elected
pro-independence majority in the Catalan parliament published a draft
resolution that “solemnly declared the beginning of the process of creating
an independent Catalan state in the form of a republic” (see Appendix for
text).

...
On November 9, the Catalan parliament adopted the resolution by 72 votes to
63.  In favour were the bill's proponents, the mainstream nationalist
Together for Yes coalition and the anti-capitalist People’s Unity
Candidacies—Constituent Call (CUP). Against were the Catalan affiliates of
the conservative People's Party (PP), the social-democratic Spanish
Socialist Workers Party (PSOE) and Citizens (the “Podemos of the right”).

Meh. It was bound to happen and certainly not the worse thing he's ever said or 
done). Maybe he's hoping that it will help him get some more endorsements. I 
could care less about whether he's now officially a Democrat or not (wasn't he 
always really a Democrat anyway?). Granted it's a low bar, but I still think 
he's the best left candidate the US has seen in decades. I realize what I'm 
saying is anathema to sectarians and maximalists, but my view is that we need 
someone talking about all the issues he's talking about on a national level. 
Like I mentioned in an earlier post, his candidacy has forced major media 
outlets to hold non-caricature based discussions of socialism (and gotten a lot 
of young people talking and thinking about socialism v. capitalism). It doesn't 
matter if it's only the DSA-brand of socialism...it's a sea change nonetheless. 
I'll support him while he's running (and talk to other supporters about 
socialism while I'm doing it). If he loses, oh well.

André Glucksmann, former Leftist, Nouveau Philosophe, Sarkozy Backer, Dies.

In his student and academic youth  André Glucksmann was associated with the 
left. His Stratégie et Révolution en France (1968) and Discours de la guerre, 
théorie et stratégie (1967) were translated and published in New Left Review. 
The first was an extended analysis of military strategists, the second was a 
revolutionary Marxist call for the French left to take power.
Not an orthodox ‘Marxist-Leninist’ Glucksmann was an active ‘general’ in the, 
Mao-Spontex’  Gauche Prolétarienne. After a dispute, in which he took the view 
that their campaign for “popular justice” in the Affaire de Bruay-en-Artoi 
(1972-3) was degenerating towards calls for a public lynching. He and other 
critics were dismissed as “vipers”. Glucksman distanced himself from the group, 
which dissolved in 1973.

NY Times, Nov. 10 2015
University of Missouri Protests Spur a Day of Change
By JOHN ELIGON and RICHARD PÉREZ-PEÑA

COLUMBIA, Mo. — Months of student and faculty protests over racial 
tensions and other issues that all but paralyzed the University of 
Missouri campus culminated Monday in an extraordinary coup for the 
demonstrators, as the president of the university system resigned and 
the chancellor of the flagship campus here said he would step down to a 
less prominent role at the end of the year.


The threat of a boycott by the Missouri football team dealt the 
highest-profile blow to the president, Timothy M. Wolfe, and the 
chancellor, R. Bowen Loftin, but anger at the administration had been 
growing since August, when the university said it would stop paying for 
health insurance for graduate teaching and research assistants.


It reversed course, but not before the graduate assistants held 
demonstrations, threatened a walkout, took the first steps toward 
forming a union and joined forces with students demonstrating against 
racism.


Then the university came under fire from Republicans for ties its 
medical schools and medical center had to Planned Parenthood. The 
university severed those ties, drawing criticism from Democrats that it 
had caved in to political pressure.


But it was charges of persistent racism, particularly complaints of 
racial epithets hurled at the student body president, who is black, that 
sparked the strongest reactions, along with complaints that the 
administration did not take the problem seriously enough.


Gov. Jay Nixon, a Democrat, said, “Tim Wolfe’s resignation was a 
necessary step toward healing and reconciliation on the University of 
Missouri campus, and I appreciate his decision to do so.”


Many of the students and faculty members who took part in demonstrations 
had also been inspired by the protest movement sparked last year in 
Ferguson, a suburb of St. Louis, after a white police officer there 
killed Michael Brown, an unarmed black man, and they were experienced at 
using social media in organizing. They saw themselves as part of a 
continuum of activism linking Ferguson, other deaths at the hands of 
police, protests on campuses around the country and the Black Lives 
Matter movement.


Mr. Wolfe, 57, was hired in 2012 from the corporate world, an outsider 
brought in to cut costs in the four-campus system. That was no recipe 
for popularity, but the last three months left him particularly 
isolated. He announced his resignation just before a meeting of the 
university’s governing body, the Board of Curators, amid speculation 
that it might try to oust him.


Mr. Wolfe said he took responsibility for the anger and frustration on 
campus, asserting that conversations with community leaders, students, 
faculty, donors and others led him to his decision, more than just the 
football players’ threatened boycott.


“What was starting to become clear was the frustration and anger was 
evident, and it was something that needed to be done that was immediate 
and substantial for us to heal,” Mr. Wolfe said at a news conference.


As the two resignations were announced, the Board of Curators unveiled a 
slate of new initiatives to address racial tensions on campus, including 
hiring a diversity, inclusion and equity officer for the entire 
University of Missouri system. The university will also provide 
additional support to students, faculty and staff members who experience 
discrimination; create a task force to create plans for improving 
diversity and inclusion; and require diversity and inclusion training 
for all faculty, staff members and incoming students.


Josh Earnest, the White House press secretary, praised the protests as 
showing “that a few people speaking up and speaking out can have a 
profound impact.”


Officials said Mr. Loftin would remain at the university in a research role.

Opposition to the administration reached a peak in the last week. A 
graduate student, Jonathan Butler, who was a veteran of the Ferguson 
protests, held a highly publicized hunger strike, saying he would not 
eat again until Mr. Wolfe was gone. Protesters formed an encampment on 
campus. A coalition of Jewish groups told Mr. Loftin that they were 
“dismayed” by his lack of action after a swastika was drawn on a 
dormitory wall. Deans of nine of its schools called for Mr. Loftin’s 
removal.


On Monday morning, the student government demanded Mr. Wolfe’s ouster, 
and much of the faculty sent word to students that classes were canceled 
for two days, in favor of a teach-in focused on race relations.


But it was the football team that may have

First is the lead organizer of the Campaign for Houston, Steve Hotze. If 
that organization sounds familiar, it’s because it is. Back in 1985, 
Hotze organized the “Campaign for Houston Straight Slate,” led by 
then-mayor Louie Welch who said that the best way to control AIDS would 
be to “shoot the queers.”


Credit Hotze for consistency. In 1982, he said of gays that “they 
proliferate by one means, and one means only, and that’s recruiting. And 
they recruit the weak. They recruit children or young people in their 
formative years.” And in May 2015, he said, “Homosexuals cannot 
reproduce, so they have to recruit, and they start with children.”


Hotze is also the founder of the Conservative Republicans of Texas, a 
home-grown vitamin salesman whose medical treatments have been widely 
discredited, and the “singer,” if that’s the word, of two auto-tuned 
piano pop songs about resisting the “tyranny of the federal government” 
and seceding from the United States (“Texas should be free—it should be 
an independent nation”).

The ascent of the college athletics business has occurred at a time when 
higher education is increasingly viewed as little more than a means to 
enhance social and economic status. While elite sports programs 
(particularly football and men’s basketball) have created a professional 
culture of athletic specialization and promotion, universities such as 
Stanford and MIT have followed a similar trend in academic research, 
funneling talent and patent licenses into corporations in exchange for 
ample short and long-term rewards. All of this speaks to a 
reconfiguration of the university as an engine for the production of 
profits rather than a safe harbor in which to think and to learn both 
skills and the ethos of democratic participation.

Roberts (taking his cue from his mentors Andrew Kliman and Alan Freeman) claims 
that labor's share did not decrease at the expense of capital's following the 
counterattack that began in the 1970s.

They are basing this assertion on the work of reactionary economists who in 
turn were trying to refute Saez and Picketty's work on income inequality in the 
US. The reactionaries (and thus Kliman and co) contend that this disparity 
virtually disappears when you factor in various state transfers and employer 
expenses on health insurance and other benefits (Kliman usually makes some 
additional claim about it all coming out in the wash because women joined the 
workforce, hence no real decline in the household income). Those claims have 
been refuted six ways from Sunday by economists of all stripes (a good summary 
here: http://bit.ly/1Nqmf7S ). Putting aside statistical analyses of wages, 
benefits, and state transfers, does it make sense that labor's share in the US 
was rising despite the crushing of unions and collective bargaining that began 
in late 70s? Shrinking expenditures on welfare, disability, UI benefits, etc? 
Round after round of tax cuts for corporations and the top 1% of inco
 me earners (which always results in rising taxes on workers in the form of 
rising sales taxes, road tolls, "vice taxes",  the resort to state lotteries, 
etc.)?

When reading the Kliman gang's work you 
always have to look out for the word "adjustments"...since that's the only way 
they can produce their results - whether it's on labor's share or the falling 
profit rate (even then they can't agree on how to calculate the rate of profit 
- they all do it differently as Roberts admits in his Great Recession book). 
These people are not really interested in investigating capitalism's evolution 
over time. They proceed from the position that Marx's judgments on capitalism 
and its dynamics are infallible and timeless and refuse to do anything but 
examine the present through the lens of the 19th century (19th century England 
at that). The falling profit fundamentalists have to prove that consumption is 
irrelevant to crisis, so in turn they HAVE to prove that labor's share is 
actually always rising and consumer debt either unrelated or insignificant (the 
organic composition is also always rising, hence why they must completely 
discount or ignore the capital-saving revolution that is containeri
 zation coupled with global labor arbitrage). Meanwhile those of us who aren't 
employed at a university with tenure haven't been able to make ends meet for 
long before the great recession. Once again, if you want an honest, logical 
explanation of the latest crash check out Howard Sherman's Roller Coaster 
Economy. He looks at the behavior of both consumption and investment in the 
run-up to crisis and how they interact to produce downturns.

Ultimately, I think Marxists need to stop arguing (let alone establishing 
Marxist litmus tests like Kliman, Carchedi, Roberts, Mattick, etc do) about 
crisis theory. Whatever one's pet theory is, all Marxists agree on one thing: 
capitalism is prone to crisis and based on exploitation and the simultaneous 
degradation of man and nature (to the degree that two can be meaningfully 
separated). Why can't we all just form a movement based on that straightforward 
critique and stop with the circular firing squads?
