The issue seems worth getting - for instance I'm glad someone is finally
writing about Louise Michel and the Kanak -- but I'll be damned if I'll
slog through a million-word editorial without some explanation of why it's
worth it.

Yet there are Assad supporters who cheer on the bloodletting in Aleppo 
on the basis of a crude, barbarised anti-empire sentiment: witness 
George Galloway’s valediction ‘long live the Syrian Arab Republic’. If 
antisemitism was last century’s socialism of fools, Islamophobia is this 
century’s anti-imperialism of fools.


Indeed, as the rise of the alt-right illustrates, the dominance of 
Islamophobia is hardly any guarantee against the revival of 
antisemitism. As Enzo Traverso has argued, the segue of one into the 
other is not accidental. Their raciological metaphors are incredibly 
similar: ‘The beards, tefellin and kaftans of the Jewish immigrants from 
eastern Europe [of the early twentieth century] correspond to the beards 
and veils of the Muslims today … Judaism and Islam both function as 
negative metaphors of alterity; a century ago, the Jew as painted by 
popular iconography inevitably had a hooked nose and sticking-out ears, 
just as Islam today is identified by the burqa’. While much of the neo- 
and post-fascist Right has made a conscious effort to shed pre-war 
variants of biological antisemitism, the cultural tropes of Jew-baiting 
were visible in the Trump campaign and are all over the pro-Trump 
far-right media, most notoriously Breitbart.

Over the past few years, we’ve become familiar with the weapons of American
police brutality, from tear gas and rubber bullets to automatic weapons.
But few realize just how long these tactics have been in play. Nearly 100
years ago, the U.S. federal government was dropping bombs on civilians in
rural West Virginia
.

For a week in the late summer of 1921, planes buzzed, machine guns rattled,
gas hissed and bombs whistled through the air around Blair Mountain. It was
like a scene out of World War I — a war that had ended just a few years
earlier. Now, the United States was fighting itself in a conflict known as
the Coal Wars, and the Battle of Blair Mountain would be the biggest fight
yet. Impoverished coal miners

risked
everything to try to unionize and establish some basic rights
 for
themselves and their communities.

"The one thing I am sure about is that WWIII is not about to happen."

Well, "thanks be to God and his Holy Mother" as we used to say in Ireland.

I have been mulling over tweets by Aaron Bastani of Novara Media and the
following article


*https://www.opendemocracy.net/uk/aaron-bastani/what-would-populist-corbyn-look-like
*
As I read him Bastani*, *who is one of the good guys, seems to believe that
the social media developments have been a big game changer and that Trump
is one of the first to recognize this.  Bastani also appears to hanker
after some of the show business elements of Trump's approach. Trump does
not do boring and for Bastani that would seem to be one of the ways to go.

I have something of a different reaction.  I was, to be frank, horrified at
the wrestling video Lou posted.  The spectacle and I chose that word with a
nod to Guy Debord, of the future POTUS rolling around while the yahoos ( I
almost said 'deplorables') cheered.  And that is headed for the Oval Room,
I thought to myself.

This morning I had something of an inflection to that initial reaction.
Prominence was given to Meryl Streep's criticism of Trump and of course the
twit's tweets in response. What I think is important to understand is that
Streep's critique was a moral one.  We are not like that she seemed to say.
If we all become like Trump then society will dissolve into amoral
anarchy.  The American commentator, whose name I did not catch, was at
pains to point out that Trump did not win the popular vote and that most
Americans did not agree with him.

So what did I make of all this?  What is the inflection?  Well, to begin
with I believe that the urgent task facing American and World capitalism is
to save capitalism from the capitalists as FDR did. I prefer of course the
task of creating world socialism, but that is beside the point.  Can Trump
save Capitalism from the Capitalists? His anti-establishment postures seem
to suggest to voters that he would try. But that was all spin.  He clowned
around and that was enough to persuade enough desperate people that he was
different.  His appointments to his cabinet have put those illusions to
rest.

But there is one other element that to the coming Trump fiasco and Steep's
speech was directed to it.  Leadership must have a moral dimension as well
as an aesthetic one. We are it seems to me back in Matthew Arnold's time
when he worried so much about the dangerous masses and the Philistinism of
the capitalism class. Arnold's solution was to advocate the teaching of
poetry to create 'sweetness and light' among the masses.  He was acutely
aware that because of Darwinism, religion had lost ground. So poetry it had
to be.

This was again an aesthetic solution masking as a moral one.  The 20th and
the 21st Century have seen the total collapse in the belief that an
education in the High Curriculum could lead to a better world.  But
crucially, we were still offered an aesthetic solution. though importantly
this time it was the mirror image of the High Curriculum.   At my former
university, Professor John Hartley and Professor Alan Mckee, radical
Philistines both, advocated the embrace of Reality TV as the way forward.
These academic cheerleaders for the new populism would seem to have got
their wishes.  A reality TV star is in the White House.  Hooray and
Hallelujah!

So to try and pulls these disparate thoughts together, Trump's elevation
exposes a vital flaw in the the leadership of American capitalism. At one
level it is startlingly naive, to say he is a moral disaster. But the
problem with us old Lefties, is that we are so immersed in struggles
against capitalism that we are unable to have the reaction of a "normal"
person to a moral outrage. Trump, it seems to me, can be summed up in the
phrase my old mother, God rest her, used to use - "You couldn't take him
nowhere". He lacks even the appearance of a moral dimension.  Of course,
now that we are all supposed to be Beyond Good and Evil, that might not
appear to matter.  But the reaction to Streep's speech seems to me that it
still does, at least in countries outside the US.

comradely

Gary

So, it's not that the Democrats are the answer, but I do think that
Trump's election represents a qualitative change from what we've seen
over recent decades.



We'll see. The one thing I am sure about is that WWIII is not about to 
happen. Comrades really need to read the NY Times article I quoted from. 
In fact, let me post it here:


Jared Kushner, a Trump In-Law and Adviser, Chases a Chinese Deal
By SUSANNE CRAIG, JO BECKER and JESSE DRUCKER

On the night of Nov. 16, a group of executives gathered in a private 
dining room of the restaurant La Chine at the Waldorf Astoria hotel in 
Midtown Manhattan. The table was laden with Chinese delicacies and 
$2,100 bottles of Château Lafite Rothschild. At one end sat Wu Xiaohui, 
the chairman of the Waldorf’s owner, Anbang Insurance Group, a Chinese 
financial behemoth with estimated assets of $285 billion and an 
ownership structure shrouded in mystery. Close by sat Jared Kushner, a 
major New York real estate investor whose father-in-law, Donald J. 
Trump, had just been elected president of the United States.


It was a mutually auspicious moment.

Mr. Wu and Mr. Kushner — who is married to Mr. Trump’s daughter Ivanka 
and is one of his closest advisers — were nearing agreement on a joint 
venture in Manhattan: the redevelopment of 666 Fifth Avenue, the fading 
crown jewel of the Kushner family real-estate empire. Anbang, which has 
close ties to the Chinese state, has seen its aggressive efforts to buy 
up hotels in the United States slowed amid concerns raised by Obama 
administration officials who review foreign investments for national 
security risk.


Now, according to two people with knowledge of the get-together, Mr. Wu 
toasted Mr. Trump and declared his desire to meet the president-elect, 
whose ascension, he was sure, would be good for global business.


Since the election, intense scrutiny has been trained on Mr. Trump’s 
company and the potential conflicts of interest he will face. But with 
Mr. Kushner laying the groundwork for his own White House role, the 
meeting at the Waldorf shines a light on his family’s 
multibillion-dollar business, Kushner Companies, and on the ethical 
thicket he would have to navigate while advising his father-in-law on 
policy that could affect his bottom line.


Unlike the Trump Organization, which has shifted its focus from 
acquisition to branding of the Trump name, the Kushner family business, 
led by Mr. Kushner, is a major real estate investor across the New York 
area and beyond. The company has participated in roughly $7 billion in 
acquisitions in the last decade, many of them backed by opaque foreign 
money, as well as financial institutions Mr. Kushner’s father-in-law 
will soon have a hand in regulating.


The Anbang talks, which have not previously been reported, began roughly 
six months ago — “Well before the president-elect’s victory,” Mr. 
Kushner’s spokeswoman, Risa Heller, noted. That was, however, just as 
Mr. Trump clinched the Republican nomination. While the talks are far 
along, representatives for Mr. Kushner said some points remained 
unresolved. Ms. Heller declined to outline the financial terms under 
discussion.


Mr. Kushner, who declined to be interviewed for this article, has hired 
a leading Washington law firm, WilmerHale, to advise him on how to 
comply with federal ethics laws should he join the White House staff as 
an adviser to the president. The firm has concluded that one potential 
sticking point, a federal anti-nepotism law, is not applicable, though 
not all ethics experts agree. While the law prohibits federal officials 
from hiring relatives for agencies they lead, Mr. Kushner’s lawyers 
argue, among other things, that the White House is not an agency and is 
therefore exempt.


As for conflicts of interest, Mr. Kushner would be required to make 
limited financial disclosures, which could give the public a clearer 
picture of his holdings. And, unlike Mr. Trump, who as president will be 
exempt from conflict-of-interest laws, he would have to recuse himself 
from decisions with a “direct and predictable effect” on his financial 
interests.


Jamie S. Gorelick, a WilmerHale partner who served in the Clinton 
administration, said that while plans were not final, Mr. Kushner was 
taking significant steps to extricate himself from the family business. 
“Mr. Kushner is committed to complying with federal ethics laws, and we 
have been consulting with the Office of Government Ethics regarding the 
steps he would take,” she said.


He will resign as chief executive of Kushner Companies, and though the 
law does not

Of course, it is true that Obama led the way to Trump, including both
foreign and domestic policy - from Syria to privatization of public
education. But I think it's also a bit more complex than that. It's a bit
like saying that the neoconservatives didn't represent a real change in US
foreign policy. They did, though, and the disasters they were responsible
for (disasters for US capitalism) and the ones they had planned (especially
an attack on Iran) were why the tops of Corporate America replaced them
with Obama, a president who was much more strategic and who understood that
US capitalism does need allies and cannot just send troops in wherever and
whenever it likes, despite the fact that no force can militarily stand up
to them.

Take the appointment of Michael Flynn as National Security Advisor. There's
a reason he was fired from his last job as intelligence head of the Defense
Intelligence Agency - he was considered too eccentric, to given to
conspiracy theories. See this article

in the New Yorker, for example. Then there are his rants about Islam. All
the serious strategists for US capitalism would be aghast at this sort of
thing because it plays right into the hands of the Islamic fundamentalists.

In general, the tops of the US military tend to be more strategic and
closer to the tops of the US capitalist class and their strategists than
almost any other sector of US society. But there is also a layer that more
resembles "Dr. Strangelove" - the truly crazed elements. Flynn represents
that type.

It's similar with a whole series of other Trump appointments.

There is another point: What Trump has set loose will not be so easily put
back in the bottle. This is especially so as far as "free" trade, and in
particular the TPP. This pact was not only important for economic reasons,
but for strategic ones as far as combating the influence of China in Asia
and elsewhere. Will Trump now be able to sign a TPP? Seems unlikely, and
some of his appointments indicate that he doesn't intend to try.

So, it's not that the Democrats are the answer, but I do think that Trump's
election represents a qualitative change from what we've seen over recent
decades.

*from* *America's First Great Depression* *by Alasdair Roberts.*

In the 1830s, corporations and states went on a borrowing binge to finance
the construction of new railroads and canals, the "internal improvements"
endorsed by the emerging Whig Party (including a young Abraham Lincoln).
However, far more railroads and canals were built than were needed,
generally financed using bonds sold to British and other European
investors. By the late 1830s, these bonds were starting to go into default
and a panic had begun. As European losses mounted, one member of the
Rothschild banking family called America "the most blasted & the most
stinking country in the world":

"In 1839, Daniel Webster had assured British investors that no state would
risk the 'penalty of honor and disgrace' by defaulting on their bonds. Now
nine governments, responsible for two-thirds of all the American government
debt in private hands, were routinely missing interest payments, attempting
to sidestep credi­tors, or flatly repudiating their obligations. Across the
Atlantic, investors were outraged.

Yankee Doodle borrows cash,
Yankee Doodle spends it,
And then he snaps his fingers at
The jolly flat who lends it.
Ask him when he means to pay,
He shews no hesitation,
But says he'll take the shortest way,
And that's repudiation!
(*Literary Gazette*, London, January 1845)
