I can't recommend this film enough. I would love to own it, but it's only available in the original French, and I'm not yet programmed to understand that language. The story centers on the people who live telepathically and in tune with nature. It begins with a call for volunteers for a trip

Re: [Marxism-Thaxis] Setting the record straight

Dear Jim and list, Jim, I don't think this gets to the heart of what happened in the 1970s. You put it down to neo-liberalism, but neo-liberalism is merely a policy at the level of the State, and it is not an ontological change in the structure of capitalism. But there WAS a major change that

even the richest and most powerful nation-state - the USA - became in the 1970s very much subordinate to the transnational capitalist corporations. The age of capitalist nation-states dictating their own national economic policy completely died in the 1970s. But that was the plan. An elite of

1. In Japan, the history of the 1970s is often boiled down to these key events: Nixon Shock (that is actually shocks, i.e., currency, 10% tariffs on goods from Japan, and China), first oil shock, second oil shock. 2. About the Vietnam syndrome. Much misunderstood. It actually boils down to: war

Re: [Marxism-Thaxis] Setting the record straight

I could also add that the top military leaders had two sources of doubt: 1. the high-tech weapons and reliance almost entirely on air power and its ability to drop bombs and missiles 2. the fighting coherence of the all-volunteer 'professional' military It's interesting how point 2 led to Abu
