New York City and Charleston were not the only maritime cities in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries whose increasing prosperity was based upon profits from the slave trade and plantation agriculture. In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, close to fifty settlements in the British Isles, France, Spain, West Africa, the Caribbean, and South and North America were built as a direct consequence of the slave trade. full: https://www.salon.com/2017/11/26/how-slave-labor-built-and-financed-major-u-s-cities/ _ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com

But he started partying and his grades slipped in his senior year of high school. His father balked at paying for college. “I’m not paying for C’s,” Antenori recalled his father saying. “You want to go? You pay for it.” So at 17, he joined the Army, which promised him $20,000 toward college if he enlisted for three years. He stayed on, joined the Green Berets and became a medic. He didn’t get around to college until he was 32. Still on active duty, he enrolled in a pre-med program at Campbell University in North Carolina, a Baptist school a few miles from Fort Bragg. He earned a bachelor’s degree taking classes four nights a week and on weekends. After he retired from the Army in 2004, he moved to Tucson, where he works as a program manager for a major defense contractor. Earlier this year he completed an online MBA through Grand Canyon University, a for-profit Christian school in Phoenix. “I got functional degrees that helped me move up in the corporate world,” he said, crunching through the parched grass on his 40-acre ranch in the southeastern Arizona desert. Compact and muscular, wearing a red T-shirt and dusty work boots, he speaks with jackhammer bluntness. Antenori said many young people would be better off attending more affordable two-year community colleges that teach useful skills and turn out firefighters, electricians and others. Obama promoted that same idea, launching new efforts to boost community college and workplace training. But Antenori said he believes Obama pushed young people too hard toward four-year degrees. full: http://www.washingtonpost.com/sf/national/2017/11/25/elitists-crybabies-and-junky-degrees/ _ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
[Marxism] Heart of Darkness
POSTING RULES & NOTES #1 YOU MUST clip all extraneous text when replying to a message. #2 This mail-list, like most, is publicly & permanently archived. #3 Subscribe and post under an alias if #2 is a concern. * This was a set book for my postgraduate teacher training year. But I had been destroyed as a reader of serious fiction after studying literature at university. So I never read Heart of Darkness until some 50 years later. It struck me that this was a novel about Kurtz the slave who was the master of other slaves, but who was himself betrayed by the true master. I think of the Aussie film Breaker Morant, which is about the Australian assassin Breaker Morant (1864-1902) who was executed for extra judicial killings during the Boer War. He was doing the dirty work of empire and paid a price. The Australian film about him Breaker Morant (1980) is worth a watch. Lyndie England of Abu Ghraib notoriety would be a more contemporary version of the same phenomenon. What strikes me is that these slaves who are masters of other slaves never complain about slavery. They only complain about the lack of gratitude of the master. So one can construct an anti-imperialism from *Heart of Darkness*, but I doubt if that was the book's intention. comradely Gary _ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
