"There is more to Trump’s withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal than meets
the eye – in terms of the long term world relations, in terms of the world
economy, and (what must be emphasized) in terms of coming shocks to the US
working class and how those shocks may transform the mood here at home.

"Make America Great Again
Trump’s withdrawal will tend to be seen as simply the another stupid
blunder of an ego-maniacal, eccentric lunatic. But the very fact that such
a lunatic is president says a lot: He was elected based on his promise to
restore the American Dream at home and, at least as important, restore the
domination of US capitalism around the world (“make America respected”).
But the decline in US domination is a long term process that cannot be
reversed. Even the US Army’s Strategic Studies Institute has recognized
that."

I read the article and the accompanying comments.

1)  The barista responded professionally -- I am sure she had NO IDEA that
one of the tracks on the spotify loop would blast the offensive word to all
customers.

2)  The VP should have LEFT it at that --- complaining to the business was
dangerous for the baristas --- he should have recognized that the woman was
truly sorry for putting that song on the loop.

3)   The owner of the business over-reacted ridiculously --- and that is
terrible.(The fear of being labelled racist for NOT reacting was
probably what prompted the behavior -- and "truth to tell" -- if the
employees had been white, there might have been some knee-jerk demands that
they be immediately canned, who knows?---)

4)   Calling the behavior of the VP an example of institutional racism is
ridiculous --- he was fighting racism by objecting to the song being
playing out loud to unsuspecting customers.   -- his call to the business
was an over-reaction ---

My $.02 (times 4)

The recent uprisings against the Iranian regime were, on the face of it,
protests by the urban poor and the unemployed in more than 80 cities
against endemic poverty and against the corrupt clerical regime responsible
for it. In the internet age, when extensive social networks are available,
such events cannot be suppressed or kept hidden. What started in Meshed
soon spread everywhere, and hundreds of videos of these protests were
distributed and watched on social networks as they were happening. The spin
given to these events by various political interests has, however, created
total confusion about the real nature of these protests and their
significance for future survival of the “Islamic” regime. . .

Gina Haspel is a consummate professional who has served the U.S. 
intelligence community with distinction for more than 30 years.


As the Trump administration’s nominee to head up the Central 
Intelligence Agency, Haspel has received endorsements from six former 
CIA directors, three former directors of national intelligence, and two 
former secretaries of state. It would be hard to find someone with more 
experience to run the CIA.


And that’s why she’s a terrible choice.

Daniel Cohn-Bendit, is now “well liked” in Germany and “loved” in France – part 
of the national DNA (1968: Power to the Imagination. 
NYRB).
 Our happiness at this recognition – perhaps one day to be extended to our 
national treasure, Tariq Ali – inspires us to reflections on the uprisings that 
made the Green leader’s fame.  The 50th anniversary of the événements has been, 
and will be, greeted in France with a flood of articles, books, radio, 
television programmes and, what one might call “teach-ins”. There is a lesser, 
but audible, interest in the English-speaking world and elsewhere. In homage, 
the tête de cortège on this year’s Paris May Day promised in a communiqué, in 
tribute to the engragés of the Mouvement Mars 22, a re-enactment of the May 
riots in the Quartier Latin. Those promoted by the friends of Le Comité 
Invisible ended up with a little smashing up the nearest MacDonald’s and some 
bus shelters.

(History repeating itself?)

The drive to intensify capitalist agriculture to satisfy the American 
marketplace coincided with a general collapse of the world economy. From 
1885 to 1930, the Colombian government was controlled by the 
Conservative Party, which despite its founding principles, staked out a 
typically liberal development program. This involved strengthening the 
state, extension of the transportation and communications systems into 
the countryside, encouragement of foreign investment, etc. The Great 
Depression manifested itself in Colombia through a drop in export 
earnings. As unemployment in the advanced capitalist countries grew, 
coffee became less affordable.


A general sense of helplessness led to a Liberal Party victory in 1934, 
as the new president López Pumarejo called for a "revolution on the 
march," a Colombian version of the New Deal. The trade unions provided 
Pumarejo with one of his main bases of support, while the Communist 
Party served as his most trusted lieutenant within the union movement. 
Support for the Pumarejo government turned out to be disastrous for the 
labor movement as it relied on him to solve their problems rather than 
using their own independent power. Real wages fell between 1935 and 1950 
and social expenditures were virtually stagnant in the same period. This 
was a "New Deal" without teeth.


It was in the countryside, however, where resistance to the Liberal 
government was mounted most sharply. Peasants, especially in the eastern 
part of the country, sought to grow coffee on their own plots in order 
to take advantage of the continuing external demand for the stimulant. 
In many cases they occupied the land of large haciendas and pressed for 
ownership. The Liberal government tried to co-opt the squatters movement 
and bring it under control, just as the PRI in Mexico had done with the 
followers of Zapata. To some extent, this policy paid off as a layer of 
the peasantry won title to land and became less militant.


However, just like in the United States, a section of the bourgeoisie 
regarded Liberal Party reformism as Bolshevik and began to organize a 
counter-revolution. One of the main props of the Conservative Party's 
right wing assault was the Catholic Church, which viewed the "revolution 
on the march" as a threat to its influence on uneducated and insecure 
peasants. After 1935, paramilitary associations cropped up with the 
support of bishops and businessmen. Conservative Party intellectuals 
openly identified with Spain's Franco at this point and Laureano Gómez 
in particular promoted the concept of 'hispanidad,' a Colombian version 
of Falangist thought.


The concrete social and economic goal of the Catholic-Conservative axis 
was to break the back of the agrarian revolt, which they saw the 
Liberals as temporizing with. In particular they wanted to abolish Law 
200, which gave landless peasants the right to occupy and own land. 
These differences continued to divide the two parties, even after the 
end of the depression and WWII, as the lingering effects of the 1930s 
downturn combined with the structural imbalances of the Colombian 
countryside served to maintain class tensions. Poverty and unequal land 
distribution simply could not be resolved within the Colombian two party 
system, although electoral politics did provide a medium for the 
voiceless to raise their concerns.


As the Conservatives pushed relentlessly from the right, the Liberals 
began to cave in. Upon taking office in 1945, Alberto Lleras Camargo, 
Pumarejo's Liberal successor, immediately appointed three Conservatives 
to his cabinet as a concession. As the 1946 elections approached, the 
Liberal Party split into two factions. One, advocating compromise with 
the right-wing, was led by Gabriel Turbay. The other was led by Jorge 
Eliécer Gaitán, a populist who openly called for resistance to the 
bourgeoisie and a deepening of the agrarian revolt. He was hostile to 
the trade unions which he saw as a bureaucratic apparatus dominated by 
the Communist Party in bed with right-wing Liberals. The statements of 
the Communist Party of Colombia left no doubt as to their loyalties. In 
their newspaper, they declared in 1937: "Our post is at the side of the 
reformist government of López [Pumarejo] . . . Today we are not 
subversives. The only subversives are the falangist Conservatives. We 
Communists aspire to become the champions of order and peace."


Despite the CP's fondest hopes, order and peace were impossible. When 
Gaitán's wing of the party won control of the Colombian congress in 
1947, working class strikes and protests broke out in the

This is really an appalling situation in Columbia. Here is another 
article which claims that between 2002-2010 the Colombian army killed 
10,000 civilians and called them FARC guerrillas.
