Am writing a piece for CounterPunch, due in a few days.?It's part of a "Pulse of the Plant" series that a number of us?environmental anthropologists are doing in advance of a conference. Already about 5 pieces published. My piece is tentatively?called, "A Chemical 911 Still very Possible, What would a 'Marxist President' do with Dow Chemical?"
I want to ask this highly learned assembly for background and/or quotable comments for the piece regarding the question of nationalization (will only quote you if you say I can). and if you only?want to help me with my thinking, I'd appreciate it. I'm going to note that Chile's Allende nationalized many corporations, including Dow Chemical. But I want to say more about what an imaginary?Marxist President (if that's not an oxymoron), might do. 2 part to question: 1. Should a president nationalize petrochemical and other major energy companies? 2. What would?the consequences be? 3. Is there a list of all entities?"nationalized" in the U.S. right now alongside the Freddies?? By?the way I just read Michael Perelman's two?books The Perverse?Economy and The Confiscation of American Prosperity (where he predicts the next great depression!)- they were absolutely terrific and I'll be ordering one of them for a class next winter). Thanks in advance. Best, Brian McKenna
