Consider
:
in many US workplaces employers can enforce a dress code, read your emails,
record your phone conversations, inspect your personal belongings, subject
you to random drug tests, forbid casual conversations with fellow workers,
prevent you from using the bathroom, and penalize you for any infraction of
these rules. They have authority not just over wages, benefits, and hours
but the technology that will be used and the products that will be
produced. And thanks to at-will employment

—
the standard in American labor contracts — they can terminate you for
everything from posting on Facebook

 or failing to exercise

to
having premarital sex

, being too attractive
,
or engaging in political activism

.

Yet because these autocratic decisions are typically viewed as the result
of an especially unfair boss — as a case, say, of wrongful termination —
their basic foundation in the capitalist economy goes unexamined.

The essential problem here isn’t that an employer might treat their workers
unfairly: it’s that an economic relationship in which employers call all
the shots makes a mockery of the question of fairness itself. It’s that
employers hold all the cards, whether or not they act with magnanimity.


Because of the property relations that form the basis of capitalist power,
workers get to keep their jobs only so long as the boss decides, for
whatever reason, not to fire them. Short of that, management can deploy any
number of punitive measures — demotion, pay cuts, bad hours — to discipline
workers who step out of line.

Which brings us back to Kaepernick.

[Marxism] FW: Quebec independence a key to building the left in Canada

http://lifeonleft.blogspot.ca/2017/08/quebec-independence-would-open-new.html

Introduction

The 2017 edition of the Université populaire (the People’s University), meeting
in Montréal August 17-19, included a panel of speakers from Quebec and English
Canada on the possibilities for building a convergence of left forces in both
nations.

It was chaired and introduced by Andrea Levy, a Montréal-based editor of
Canadian Dimension, and included André Frappier, a former president of the
Montréal postal workers and now a leader of Québec solidaire; Kevin Skerrett, a
leading activist in Solidarity Ottawa; Corvin Russell, a Toronto solidarity
activist and recently co-author with Andrea Levy of an excellent paper, “Mapping
the Canadian Left: Sovereignty and Solidarity in the 21st Century;”[1] and
myself. I am a member of both Solidarity Ottawa and Québec solidaire.

The conference program introduced the topic as follows:

“The Canadian State is a common obstacle faced by progressive forces in Québec
and Canada that makes the creation of alliances as much a necessity as a virtue.
However, both in Québec and Canada, the left is mired in narrow ideological
perspectives and lacking real involvement in day-to-day struggles. The growing
resistance of Indigenous peoples is a game changer for both sides as it calls
into question the very foundations of the Canadian State. This session proposes
to look at how we might build toward a new convergence of forces. - How can the
Canadian left support the struggle for national and social emancipation in
Québec? - What are the weak points in the Canadian State and among the elites
seeking to maintain power. What sorts of struggles can we engage in jointly? -
How can progressive organizations in Canada and Québec develop a common strategy
of international solidarity with Indigenous peoples in Canada? - What means can
we use to fulfill these aims?”

Levy and Frappier spoke in French, the rest of us in English, with simultaneous
interpretation. The panelists’ contributions were followed by some stimulating
exchanges with members of the audience. Unfortunately, the session was not
recorded.

The following is a slightly expanded and edited version of my presentation.
Readers will note that, contrary to some assertions in the above note by the
conference organizers, I make some important distinctions between the lefts in
the two nations. – Richard Fidler

* * *

The program introduction speaks of “convergence” as the goal. And it speaks of
an impasse between the lefts in Quebec and Canada, implying a divergence. So
I’ll begin by exploring this. In what follows I will focus on what can be termed
the political left, seeking political solutions to the problems addressed more
generally by the various social movements. And I will treat the NDP as a part of
the broad “left” in English Canada, for reasons I explain later.

Today's selection -- from *Chiang Kai-Shek* by Jonathan Fenby.

The so-called "Rape of Nanking" witnessed atrocities that were among the
most horrifying in the history of war. It was part of the Second
Sino-Japanese War, which began in 1937 when Imperial Japan invaded China
under Chiang Kai-Shek. Casualties in that war were estimated at between 20
and 35 million people. Nanking was the capital of the Republic of China and
was upriver from Shanghai, China's wealthiest and most important commercial
city, which had already fallen to the Japanese:

"The Rape of Nanking was unique as an urban atrocity not only for the
number of people who died but also for the way the Japanese went about
their killing, the wanton individual cruelty, the reduction of the city's
inhabitants to the status of subhumans who could be murdered, tortured, and
raped at will in an outburst of the basest instincts let loose in six weeks of
terror and death. The death toll was put at 300,000 -- some accounts set it
even higher, though one source for the former figure, Harold Timperley of
the *Manchester Guardian*, used it to refer to deaths in the Yangtze Valley
as a whole.

This is the first episode of a new Living The Dream series entitled Marx’s 
Textbook. In each episode Dave(@withsobersenses) takes a chapter of a basic 
macroeconomics textbooks –

in this case Littleboy (2013) – summarises the content and then presents how 
Marx can help us think about these issues and challenge the dominant 
assumptions. What we find is that Marx doesn’t just provide different answers 
rather he compels us to ask different questions. Each episode will only be 
approx. 30 minutes long and is aimed at helping people to understand and 
critique both capitalism and economics as an ideology. No prior knowledge of 
Marx or macroeconomics is required.

Roma Culture 101: Opening Minds With Song, Talk and Laughter
By ELISABETTA POVOLEDO

LANCIANO, Italy — For one week in August, a group of students in 
Lanciano, a hilltop town near the Adriatic Sea, sang songs, played 
music, danced, ate and went on field trips.


But this was no ordinary summer camp. This was the second annual Roma 
Summer School, a full immersion in Romani culture.


And so the roughly dozen participants — including “gadji,” or women of 
non-Roma origin — learned basic expressions in Romanés, the Romani 
language spoken in Abruzzo; gobbled up Roma cuisine; and were invited 
into Romani homes.


And they graduated with a better understanding, and appreciation, of the 
Roma and their struggles, returning home with a message of appreciation 
and integration.


At least that was the organizers’ intent.

“Only by sharing, understanding, drinking, eating and being welcomed by 
Roma families do you begin to have encounters on an equal footing,” 
explained Santino Spinelli, the ebullient director of the school. 
“That’s how you overcome the negative stereotypes and the widely held 
preconceptions and prejudices against Roma.”


Mr. Spinelli is arguably Italy’s best-known Roma personality, or at 
least the most famous Italian who admits to being a member of an often 
vilified group.


On stages elsewhere, he goes by the name Alexian, the accordion-playing 
leader of a Roma musical group that, he proudly says, has “played for 
three popes.”


As a musician, he has helped promote Roma culture, but he has also 
wanted to find a way to dispel persistent anti-Roma prejudice.


Last spring, Mr. Spinelli was at the seaside in San Vito Marina, taking 
a stroll after lunch, and the idea came to him: Why not have an 
intercultural school where Italians could meet Roma families and see for 
themselves what the Roma were really about?


“I am trying to get people to know the unknown side of the Roma, the 
families that are integrated, the Roma who work, who are honest, who 
have lived here for centuries but continue to preserve their culture,” 
he said.


The course emphasized Roma culture, but it unavoidably touched on modern 
social issues and preconceptions — like the notion that Roma are a 
nomadic people who feel at home living in filthy insalubrious camps.


Nothing could be further from the truth, he said.

“Roma have been living in houses in Abruzzo since the 14th century,” 
said Mr. Spinelli, who owns a lushly decorated villa just outside 
Lanciano that he shares with his aging parents, his children and his 
wife, Daniela De Rentiis, who coordinated the logistics of the school 
(and cooked tirelessly).


Camps do exist, but the Roma who live there are merely the latest wave 
of Romani refugees escaping persecution and war in their countries of 
origin, he said.


“The Roma’s presumed vocation to nomadism has been the result of 
repression and persecution throughout Europe,” he said. “Running away is 
not a choice; it’s called forced mobility.”


And the camps that have been created by city governments to house these 
refugees — mostly from the Balkans — negatively reinforce the myth of a 
wandering people.


“They’re really an example of racial segregation, a crime against 
humanity,” Mr. Spinelli said. “As an Italian I am ashamed of this 
treatment.”


During the week, the students visited museums and a fairground run by 
Roma, ate with Roma families, and went on outings.


On one occasion, the class took a late-night trip to the bakery of 
Filippo Spinelli, Mr. Spinelli’s cousin.


“The best bread in Lanciano is made by a Rom,” exclaimed Mr. Spinelli, 
the musician.


Mr. Spinelli, the baker, said that his overnight business had become a 
habitual stop for locals, from young people to police officers working 
the night shift, and that racism had never been a part of his world.


“If you respect people, they respect you,” he said. “You have to make 
yourself known for what you do.”


But when his daughter, Elena, applied for a bank loan to open a 
restaurant, she was turned down. “They heard my last name and denied the 
loan,” she said. (In Abruzzo, several last names — Spinelli, Di Rocco, 
Guarnieri, Morelli — can signal Roma origin.)


“Prejudice can be strong,” she said. Another bank, in any case, approved 
the loan.


The Abruzzo region, where Mr. Spinelli lives and where Roma have been 
widely integrated for centuries, “is not all a happy valley,” said Paolo 
Ciani, an expert in Roma issues for the Community of Sant’Egidio, a 
Catholic lay group.


Periodically, crimes involving Roma generate local headlines. “The 
problem is that whenever a Rom

More Than 1,000 Died in South Asia Floods This Summer
By JEFFREY GETTLEMAN

MUMBAI, India — More than 1,000 people have died in floods across South 
Asia this summer, and as sheets of incessant rain pummeled the vast 
region on Tuesday, worries grew that the death toll would rise along 
with the floodwaters.


According to the United Nations, at least 41 million people in 
Bangladesh, India and Nepal have been directly affected by flooding and 
landslides resulting from the monsoon rains, which usually begin in June 
and last until September.


And while flooding in the Houston area has grabbed more attention, aid 
officials say a catastrophe is unfolding in South Asia.


In Nepal, thousands of homes have been destroyed and dozens of people 
swept away. Elephants were pressed into service, wading through swirling 
waters to rescue people, and aid workers have built rafts from bamboo 
and banana leaves.


But many people are still missing, and some families have held last 
rites without their loved ones’ bodies being found.


“This is the severest flooding in a number of years,” Francis Markus, a 
spokesman for the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent 
Societies, said by phone from Kathmandu, Nepal’s capital.


Nepal’s flooded areas are the poorest parts of the country, where most 
families live in bare mud houses and rely on subsistence farming, he 
said. Those farms are now underwater, and thousands of people are stuck 
living under plastic tarps in camps for displaced people where disease 
is beginning to spread.


Asked how the situation in Nepal compared with that in Houston, Mr. 
Markus said, “We hope people won’t overlook the desperate needs of the 
people here because of the disasters closer home.”


India has also suffered immensely. Floods have swept across the states 
of Assam, Bihar, Odisha, West Bengal and other areas.


This weekend, Prime Minister Narendra Modi flew over the devastation in 
Bihar, where more than 400 people are believed to have died in floods in 
recent weeks. He pledged millions of dollars in assistance and urged 
insurance companies to send in assessors as soon as possible to help 
farmers cope with their losses.


And the rain keeps coming.

On Tuesday, Mumbai, the sprawling financial capital, was soaked to the 
bone. Nearly all day, the rain drummed down. As people scurried up the 
sidewalks, the wind tore umbrellas out of their hands.


The sky seemed to fall lower and lower, pressing down on the building 
tops, cutting visibility to a few blocks, then a few yards. By 
midafternoon, it was so dark it felt like nightfall.


Busy intersections were deluged, and cars struggled to part the muddy, 
greenish waters. Several Mumbai television channels reported that more 
rain had fallen on the city in the past several days than any other time 
since July 2005, when severe flooding killed more than 1,000 people in 
this part of India.


Many trains and flights were delayed or canceled, marooning countless 
people. The authorities urged people to stay home and keep the roads 
clear for emergency vehicles. (Many did not heed that advice, leading to 
traffic snarls throughout the city on Tuesday evening.)


Schools and colleges were shut. Rising water spilled into hospitals and 
sloshed across the floors.


Police officials warned people to leave their cars behind if they were 
caught in a flash flood.


The Mumbai police, writing on Twitter, urged people to abandon their 
cars if they encountered high water.


The monsoons have battered Bangladesh as well. A low-lying and densely 
populated country of 165 million, Bangladesh is chronically ravaged by 
flooding. This year’s monsoons have left roughly a third of its terrain 
submerged.


The International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent said on 
its website that more than eight million Bangladeshis had been affected 
by the flooding, the worst in 40 years. At least 140 people have died, 
and nearly 700,000 homes have been damaged or destroyed.


Corinne Ambler, a Red Cross spokeswoman in Bangladesh who had just taken 
an aerial tour of the devastation, said she was stunned.


“All I could see was water, the whole way,” she said in a telephone 
interview from Dhaka, the capital. “You have tiny little clumps of 
houses stuck in the middle of water.”


After visiting some of the afflicted villages by boat, she said that 
many Bangladeshis had told her, “We’re used to flooding, but we’ve never 
seen anything like this in our lives.”

With all of the hysteria about the alt-right, this is the actual dagger 
aimed at American workers. Don't ever forget that the ruling class 
resorted to fascism in order to destroy working class resistance in the 
20s and 30s. In the USA today, bourgeois democracy is the instrument of
