[Marxism] The rise of the killer machines
== Rule #1: YOU MUST clip all extraneous text when replying to a message. == By Tony Iltis http://www.greenleft.org.au/taxonomy/term/1126 One of the features of advances in military technology is that an increasing proportion of those killed in wars are civilians, not combatants. During the 20th century, airstrikes became the preferred form of warfare by technologically well-resourced superpowers. This led to civilians becoming the majority of those killed in wars worldwide. In the first decade of the new century, new developments in military technology have raised the possibility for powerful countries of increasingly dispensing with combatants entirely. http://www.greenleft.org.au/node/46341 -- “Disobedience, in the eyes of anyone who has read history, is humanity’s original virtue.

Re: [Marxism] I hear from Daniel Pinkwater
== Rule #1: YOU MUST clip all extraneous text when replying to a message. == Lou, As one of the 3 per cent, one who closely followers your vendetta against Botstein, I was delighted to read the comments of Pinkwater. I so happens that I was one of those students who came to Bard because of Reamer Kline. My father was willing to put up the money because he was led to believe he was sending me to an Episcopalian college. Within my first year I was converted by my roommate Richie to the religious views of the Realist Magazine, recruited to YPSL, and got my first taste of what turned out to be the joy of my life, Jewish girls. So Bluecher was probably right to urge the meeting to do whatever had to be done to save the college. The old Bard culture prevailed over the Episcopalian takeover and the years when you, Pinkwater, and I were students were still good years. It took Botstein to turn things around.

In any case, he was a year ahead of me at Bard College and reads my blog. I was very pleased to hear from him this morning in the form of a comment on one of my tirades against Leon Botstein. I know that this will be of absolutely no interest to 97 percent of our subscribers but do want to share it with the 3 percent who have been following my 15 year vendetta against the toxic college president. The Bluecher referred to in Pinkwater's comment was Heinrich Bluecher, a colorful philosophy professor who was married to Hannah Arendt and shared many of her ideas. I was quite close to him as a student. 25. Louis, a couple of years before you arrived at Bard there was a meeting of the whole community–students, faculty, administration, kitchen workers, buildings and grounds people, alumni who had never left, all packed into the old gym. The topic was on the order of “What the fuck should we do, shut the place down and walk away with heads high, or make some compromises which will certainly ultimately lead to something we won’t like?” I remember Bleucher walking up and down, arguing both sides and doing his gadfly thing–which mantle, by the way, you inherit. It was a long night and there were many impassioned speeches and noble sentiments expressed. In the end, people drawing salary or about to graduate having sway, the sense of the meeting was that the college would do what had to be done in order to continue to exist…in whatever shape or form. And the rest, as they say, is history. Reamer Kline, Botstein’s predecessor, does not get the credit he deserves for unmaking what the school had been. By the time Botstein arrived I believe he had pretty much a blank canvas, and it so happened that his tenure has been contemporary with education becoming the education industry, and, I don’t know, maybe he has made a valiant futile effort to resist the trend, maybe he laps it up, maybe he invented it. And here’s my point–it doesn’t matter. Keep doing what you do, Louis.

[Marxism] What's Behind the GOP's War Against NPR?

The stated rationale was that a literate, informed citizenry was essential to a functioning, participatory, Jeffersonian democracy. Then came corporate ownership of newspapers, eventually by the turn of the last century ownership by oligopoly and support not by subscribers but by restrictive, content-restraining corporate advertisers. Also, we should recall that originally, with the inception of radio and TV, Congress imposed minimally protective public interest requirements in exchange for turning our public airwaves over to private control and virtual ownership. Those requirements have in their application by private media been winnowed away to nothing, and now even so-called 'public' radio and TV, ratcheted down to a minimum of objective information in a corporate-supported format, are to be dispensed with altogether. Also, now what of the newly emergent Congressional internet legislation, which has removed Communications Commission oversight over the internet, giving free rein to corporate control over this once-promising new medium of multi-directional communication? And humanity's intellectual record now sits no longer in our print libraries but in electronic records. Those records are increasingly in the control of governmental and corporate archives, subject to erasure, concealment and distortion, with no effective public oversight. As Julian Assange said in Oslo last month, 'he who controls the internet controls the intellectual history of mankind.'

Then you should have asked for a more civil discussion, rather than targeting the original TOPIC of the discussion. This isn't particularly about the NPA after all (though I am very disappointed that they have been affected in this manner). But the above ban on discussion as you have stated it, would make Islamophobia the one form of racism that can't be discussed on this list! Moreover it's arguably the most severe racism affecting Europe right now, certainly including France but also here in the Netherlands where the government that recently formed was dependent on an agreement with an openly and vociferously anti-Muslim party (the PVV), and it would not be an exaggeration to suggest that Islamophobia is the largest issue driving Dutch politics during this period. Can't we discuss that? And it's not my fault that the PVV (among others) chooses to use the hijab as the target of their hate. The government coalition has already agreed to banning the wearing of the hijab by certain government employees (such as police) as a first inroad. Two weeks ago a school in the Hague which receives government funding turned away a teacher who wore the hijab (whereas Christian symbols are expressly allowed at that school).

Because the people participating have a history of going ballistic when such a topic comes up. Well all cynicism aside, where does that leave us? I think that these issues are of critical importance and shouldn't be beyond discussion. And I can understand going ballistic. I could go ballistic when I see Marxists going along with racism, for instance. Or Marxists supporting religion instead of promoting science. Or participating in the oppression of women. Those are all good reasons for going ballistic in my book. What you need is to ask for a civil discussion in which, for instance, Dan and David Thorstad can argue why their position isn't co-opting racism. And where the rest of us can argue why we aren't supporting religion or the oppression of women. And get to the issues. After all, this is a major -- if not defining -- issue facing countless organizations including the NPA. Given that I had been hopeful about the NPA but fear that they might blow it, I consider it plausible that their orientation toward these questions could have major historical ramifications, at least if you believe that France is an important country (yes, I realize that Holland isn't). Brecht said something about dissolving the people and electing another. Now without hiding behind humor and cynicism, I wonder if Lou can come forth with some clear idea of how important issues (i.e. ones that cause people INCLUDING ME to go ballistic) can be discussed.

== Rule #1: YOU MUST clip all extraneous text when replying to a message. == I am going to give a talk to a Chinese delegation. I have to write up the talk in advance for the participants to have a translation to read. Any comments would be appreciated. China presents a curious contradiction. Your country sees herself as a socialist state, yet the influence of Western, capitalist-oriented economics in the universities seems to be pervasive. Here in the United States, many people put great stock in what the economists have to say. Part of this authority comes from academic credentials; part comes from economists' ability to talk in pseudo-scientific terms. Yet, this style of economics has left a trail of failures for decades, culminating in the present economic crisis. In my book, The Confiscation of American Prosperity: From Right-Wing Extremism and Academic Economics to the next Great Depression, which came out just as the stock market peaked in 2007, I predicted that terrible consequences were sure to follow policies that academic economists were promoting.

[Marxism-Thaxis] Colorline question of 21st Century
Rising Hate for Migrants Worldwide Starts with Criminalizing Them by Pramila Jayapal ColorLines December 15 2010 http://colorlines.com/archives/2010/12/rising_hate_for_migrants_worldwide_starts_with_criminalizing_them.html This Saturday marks the 10th anniversary of International Migrants Day and the 20th anniversary of the passage of the U.N. Convention to Protect Migrant Workers. This is an important moment to reflect on the fact that today nearly one billion people are on the move across the world, and they are increasingly the target of hatred and violence. That's why I am celebrating International Migrants Day by signing the pledge to respect immigrants everywhere by dropping the i-word and demanding that the media do the same. Politicians and media alike use the word illegal to describe human beings without immigration status, sometimes shortening illegal immigrant to illegals. While this may seem trivial to some, the language of criminality plays an enormous part in moving people along the continuum from language to violent behavior. Calling people illegal, describing them in ways that make them less them human, recasts them as members of an undeserving sub-class that are owed less respect than what would otherwise be acceptable for regular human beings. We know that, leading up to and during World War II, language was a powerful factor in moving an ideological and genocidal agenda. The language of elimination of an entire race - described as the final solution - was used frequently and without apology. In the decades following the Holocaust, this kind of language was widely condemned and deemed unacceptable. And yet, as recently as this year, we have seen genocidal language directed at migrants worldwide. Consider the recent statement of the deputy mayor of the Italian city of Treviso in relation to the issue of the undocumented Roma migrants: I want a revolution against gypsies ... I want to eliminate all the gypsy children who steal. Or consider the United States, where anti-immigrant extremists have painted a picture of all-out warfare that threatens the very idea of nationhood. Conservative commentator Pat Buchanan claimed on MSNBC that the influx of undocumented immigrants into the U.S. is an invasion, the greatest invasion in history ... the last scene is the deconstruction of the nations. The leap from fear mongering to violence - vigilantism or state-sponsored - is surprisingly short. The imagery of war and warfare helps to up the ante. After all, if this is really war, we must protect our own. Across the world, violence against immigrants is on the rise. The Libyan government, according to a report just released by Amnesty International, has been torturing undocumented African migrants through electric shock and beating, even shooting at fishing boats because they may have held illegal immigrants. In Sweden, shortly after the far right, anti-immigrant party won a place in Parliament for the first time, police arrested a 38-year-old man suspected of carrying out a dozen shootings, nearly all immigrants, where one person died and eight were wounded. In the United States, the FBI has documented a dramatic increase in reported hate crimes against Latinos, from 595 in 2003 to 888 in 2007. Along the U.S.-Mexico border, armed vigilante groups who claim to be dedicated to the defense of American patriotism are on the rise, and the New York Times has consistently reported on the number of deaths that occur in detention centers due to callous disregard for medical needs of immigrant detainees. One of our challenges in fighting the criminalization of migrants is that the most extreme voices in the dehumanization of immigrants have been legitimized by the media and politicians as representatives of the other side of the immigration debate. In spite of numerous reports from the Anti-Defamation League, the Southern Poverty Law Center and Media Matters that call out the connections to clear racist and xenophobic ideologies, groups such as the Federation for American Immigration Reform are routinely called on to give testimony in Congress or provide comments for news stories. Their racism skews the bounds of reasonable discourse about immigrants - and as a result sets extreme new bounds for reasonable policy, too. As economic insecurity heightens, Americans and Europeans who would otherwise support rational and human polices on migration - polls consistently find vast majorities in this camp - are drawn into fear. It becomes socially acceptable, and even personally necessary, to scapegoat or become violent towards someone else - namely, immigrants. In this polarized environment, some policy makers have fueled the frenzy by embracing restrictionist policies that further criminalize immigrants. The success in exploiting fear in an increasingly fragile economic environment has led to fringe political parties across the world coming into power for the first time. The Guardian has documented

[Marxism-Thaxis] Eine kleine Nachtmusik
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVTXlRxVdEY Eine kleine Nachtmusik From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search For the Venom album, see Eine Kleine Nachtmusik (album). The Serenade No. 13 for strings in G major, K. 525 was written by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in 1787. The work is more commonly known by the title Eine kleine Nachtmusik. The German title means a little serenade, though it is often rendered more literally but less accurately as a little night music.[1] The work is written for a chamber ensemble of two violins, viola, and cello with optional double bass, but is often performed by string orchestras.[2] Contents [hide] * 1 Composition, publication, and reception * 2 Movements o 2.1 Allegro o 2.2 Romanza o 2.3 Menuetto o 2.4 Rondo * 3 Possible extra movement * 4 Satire * 5 Notes * 6 References * 7 External links [edit] Composition, publication, and reception The serenade was completed in Vienna on 10 August 1787,[2] around the time Mozart was working on the second act of his opera Don Giovanni.[3] It is not known why it was composed.[4] Hildesheimer (1991, 215), noting that most of Mozart's serenades were written on commission, suggests that this serenade, too, was a commission, whose origin and first performance were not committed to record. The traditionally used name of the work comes from the entry Mozart made for it in his personal catalog, which begins, Eine kleine Nacht-Musik. As Zaslaw and Cowdery point out, Mozart almost certainly was not giving the piece a special title, but only entering in his records that he had completed a little serenade.[5] The work was not published until about 1827, long after Mozart's death, by Johann André in Offenbach am Main.[2] It had been sold to this publisher in 1799 by Mozart's widow Constanze, part of a large bundle of her husband's compositions. Today the serenade is widely performed and recorded; indeed both Jacobson and Klein (2003, 38) and Hildesheimer (1992, 215) opine that the serenade is the most popular of all Mozart's works. Of the music, Hildesheimer writes, even if we hear it on every street corner, its high quality is undisputed, an occasional piece from a light but happy pen.[6] [edit] Movements * I. Allegro * II.

Allegro Play sound Performed by the Advent Chamber Orchestra Problems listening to this file? See media help. This first movement is in sonata-allegro form, which aggressively ascends in a Mannheim rocket theme. The second theme is more graceful and in D major, the dominant key of G major. The exposition closes in D major and is repeated. The development section begins on D major and touches on D minor and C major before the work returns to G major for the recapitulation – a repetition of the exposition with both subjects in the same key, as is conventional. During the recapitulation, it is in G major with the primary themes from the exposition playing. The movement ends in its tonic key, G major. [edit] Romanza The second movement, in C major, is a Romanze, with the tempo marked Andante. It is in rondo form, taking the shape A–B–A–C–A plus a final Coda. The keys of the sections are C major for A and B, C minor for C. The middle appearance of A is truncated, consisting of only the first half of the theme. [edit] Menuetto The third movement, marked Allegretto, is a minuet and trio (A–B–A). The minuet is in the home key of G major and the trio section is in D major. [edit] Rondo Eine kleine Nachtmusik – 4. Rondo Play sound Performed by Steamboat Electric, conducted by Hans-Peter Scholz Problems listening to this file? See media help. The fourth and last movement is in lively tempo, marked Allegro; the key is again G major. The movement is written in sonata rondo form. Mozart specifies repeats not just for the exposition section but also for the following development+recapitulation section. The work ends with a long coda. [edit] Possible extra movement In the catalog entry mentioned above, Mozart listed the work as having five movements (Allegro – Minuet and Trio. – Romance, Minuet and Trio and Finale.).[5] The second movement in his listing, a minuet and trio, was long thought lost and no one knows if it was Mozart or someone else who removed it. Musicologist Alfred Einstein suggested, however, that a minuet in Piano Sonata in B-flat, K. 498a, is the missing movement.[7] The sonata's minuet has been recorded in an arrangement for strings made by Jonathan Del Mar for Nimbus Records[8] although music scholars are not certain that Einstein is correct.[original research?] [edit] Satire Musicologist Peter Schickele composed a parody of this work named Eine Kleine Nichtmusik, recorded on the album Portrait of P.
