Re: [Marxism-Thaxis] Moral dilemma
The same sort of things got said about SLs (which made loans to urban neighborhoods) and junk bonds (which were used to finance government and business in urban neighborhoods). CJ CB: I didn't know this. Did you ever look at that _The Creature from Jekyll Island_ which was written in 1994 and has a chapter saying bailouts are the name of the game , effectively predicting the big recent bailout ? ___ Marxism-Thaxis mailing list Marxism-Thaxis@lists.econ.utah.edu To change your options or unsubscribe go to: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/listinfo/marxism-thaxis

One cannot find even Marxists talking about welfare, and the immediate need to defend and expand it, outside our geographic area. Really. If one looks through the various socialist, communists and Marxist online press and articles welfare is hardly mentioned and it should be up front along with unlimited unemployment compensation - at least until the economy recovers, which is not going to happen. The restoration of profitability for most corporations will not translate into employment, and this is qualitatively different. The social consequences of revolution in the means of production is talking its toil in the context of a cyclical crisis of capital. Or rather, this cyclical crisis of overproduction is talking its toil in the context of a qualitatively new revolution in the means of production shoving ever widening layers of wage labors out of the market . . . absolutely. Detroit was at the front of the curve and now the social consequences are being felt in all areas of the country. Reagan success was based in painting welfare as a black thing; the ole welfare queen. The unemployment today and housing crisis is so widespread it cannot be painted a black issue. This is favorable to us. The historic color factor is unraveling as the social position of the white workers is destabilized and unraveled in layers. At least we can begin the beginning fight for a class point of view. This narrative is left to you and I, as the enrichment of American history. Yea, you would probably handle a million bucks a lot better than I. I've been pretty stupid with money, women and drink.
