Whoopdie-doo, it’s Friday. Not much going on here, except a little leftover rain throughout the day. If you find yourself in California’s capital this weekend, stop by the Punchline to see Marc. He’ll be doing two shows – 8:30 & 10:30 – tonight and tomorrow. The rest of us will just have to settle for a little taste on the Sam Seder Show in a few hours. So, lay low, stay outta trouble, and get this week over with already. Short week next week, at least.

Bush: “Vietnam presents lessons for Iraq”
You mean, like, we keep our fucking noses out of other people’s civil wars and they’ll figure it out?
Or, some things aren’t worth 50,000 of our own lives and 2 millions of others,and we should let people settle their own affairs?
Actually,no. Its that “freedom takes time.” And precisely how did bombing the shit out of the Vietnamese and burning their children with napalm bring about this freedom?
Can we fast-forward the next two years? I don’t think i can stand it.
Maybe attending a short Maronite service today will help.

Hey …good morning all…
TGIF
Engle is in NYC at the Today show talking about Iraq….why is he so prep school? Metrosexual?….He is smart but just a little too cute or something..
anyway, I guess whats important is that Iraq still sucks. Its so bad with so many people getting killed and kidnapped every day.
We really have to start to withdraw…
I think tho that Kucinich is wrong that we have to also immediately withdraw all of our money. We have to redeploy and reasonably step back and let them figure it out….aka pick a strongman.
seanie- did you see the catdogs?…I was just putting all of this stuff that I found on my blog, and then this morning I heard the story made it to the radio.
Bill Press is talking about taking a cruise, whereas right now Young Turks talking about subjective and biased news and media with paul from Media Matters.
:growl::fist:AIV
morning sheeple…internet connection has sucked for the last 24 hours or so… trying to stay in touch…
PJ- if Marc mentions the seditionist radio you might crash….watch out…I guess it cant happen if you keep the limit on, right? Can a site crash just from people trying to get on? It suddenly occured to me last night that he could mention it offhand…we’ll see….Ive got a repairteam coming today so it looks like I can stay for Marc today…though the flood in the basement mocks me….
Its casual friday and mold is growing downstairs….time to spray everything with the clorox mix.
I saw it, I SWEAR!
Morning all! :joe:
PJ, what are your DC plans? I missed something.
i think this mac is possessed :reaper:
and others are having connection problems…perhaps we need a blog exorcism. :priest:

I saw that banner too.. PJ is just an IS administrator in training.:shock:
Nah, if too many people try to connect, they’ll just get a “server full” or something message. Worst that can happen is my Internet connection will get swamped with incoming requests, but I doubt that’ll be a problem (would take an awful, awful lot of connections requests constantly coming in for an extended period of time to really cause trouble). Now, it would be interesting to see how much traffic this website could handle. Probably not a hell of a lot. But, I doubt he’ll mention either one. It’ll be interesting to see his new website, though.
I think the only negative thing I can think of about the exit from the Vietnam war was the rise of Pon Pot in Cambodia and the massacres that happened there ..( the neocons would say we should have paved all of southeast Asia) The debt that resulted was to a great extent what fueled the inflation in the late 70s and the problems of the Carter administration.
Rethugs are 👿
morning Fred, FK… I think it’s my DSL modem…it slowed down over the past day…I mean reallllly slow…(slower than 56 k I’m sure) will have to call my phone company. It normally doesn’t do this, it’s been pretty stable speedwise since I’ve had it…
Running home appliances on low line voltage can cause all sorts of problems with motors failing.. I would see if your uitility can put a monitor on your AC line ( of course they may refuse to do that because you can make them pay for the repairs …. errr.. Kat being a lawyer can make them pay for repairs the average person unless he is independently wealthy is just SOL.)
I was playing around with something that would give me a toolbar to make some administration functions easier to get to, but it displayed for all logged in users, so I took it off. I’ve been trying to make a little sidebar thing that will show what’s currently playing on Sedition Radio, too, but apparently my web host doesn’t allow fsocket connections to any ports other than port 80, so it won’t work. Wasted way too much time on that.

Jimmy Carter: Peace, not Apartheid.
http://imeu.net/news/article003566.shtml
Hey, today is Howard Dean’s birthday. Shoulda known he’s a Scorpio.
With all these unemployed disillusioned software people out here running around any software/firmware based system will get hacked really quickly..Its a lot more fun for them than watching there bank balance keep dropping.:bf:
In his failed effort not to offend, Carter overlooks several critical aspects of Israeli policy. Since its inception, Israel has striven to establish a strong Jewish majority within the state, treating the ratio of Jews to non-Jews as a national security issue. Numerous Israeli policies – from the expulsion of three quarters of a million Palestinians in Israel’s founding years to the route of Israel’s current “security barrier” – are designed to preserve Jewish demographic predominance. Palestinians citizens of the state of Israel face a catalogue of over 20 discriminatory laws, based solely on their identity as non-Jewish citizens, including the Law of Return, which grants automatic citizenship rights to Jews from anywhere in the world upon request, but denies that same right to native Palestinians.
Sounds like apartheid to me…of course they’re going to fight the clarity of that word with every bit of propaganda that they have…
UCPD officers confirmed that the man involved in the incident was a student, but did not give a name or any additional information about his identity.
Video shot from a student’s camera phone captured the student yelling, “Here’s your Patriot Act, here’s your fucking abuse of power,” while he struggled with the officers.
As the student was screaming, UCPD officers repeatedly told him to stand up and said “stop fighting us.” The student did not stand up as the officers requested and they shot him with the Taser at least once more.
“It was the most disgusting and vile act I had ever seen in my life,” said David Remesnitsky, a 2006 UCLA alumnus who witnessed the incident.
Disarm campus security/gestapo. Random checks my ass!
Apartheid means separate but equal.. I don’t think that applies at all in the middle east .. Israels policy is a chapter out of American history in the 1870s just replace the words North Dakota with Gaza and LaKota with Palestinians:bf:
No, not any system can broken quite that easily.
In other words, they locked the door, but left the key in the lock.
Fred. Think apartheid=South Africa. Separate but equal? Jim Crow. Separate but equal.
Apartheid meant “separate but equal” in theory…look at apartheid situations and they were never truly “equal”…. the studen’ts name was Moustafah according to Keith Olbermann last night…it was a disgusting act, the student was being brutalized. I had to turn my eyes away several times and it wasn’t even a close up.
The Bill Press show is sure full of BS this morning.. :yuck::crap::rant1:
I guess it’s his version of “casual Friday.”

It used to be that at CU the campus police only carried a radio. If something bad happens they have to call the state patrol… the local cops are not allowed on state property. Every spring the students pile there 2x6s and 6th or 9th generation apartment furniture in the middle of the street in down town Boulder and have a bonfire.. Lately thats been a drunken bonfire .. The Boulder police have not been happy.:bf:
I liked Bill Press’s MSNBC cable news show with Pat Buchanan.
again, separate but “equal?” I beg to differ…

Apartheid means “separateness.” No equality implied (not even a pretense).
The occupied territories have abundant water supplies. That is one big reason why Israel will not give them up. Also, Palestinians are a source of cheap labor.

Well, I give about as much of a crap about what it says in the bible as I do about what the Pope has to say.
Apartheid (literally “apartness” in Afrikaans and Dutch) was a system of racial segregation that was enforced in South Africa from 1948 to 1994. South Africa had long since been ruled by whites and apartheid was designed to form a legal framework for continued economic and political dominance by people of European descent

Sam’s answering questions from his blog during the breaks.
When Sam was on at night I often thought the people on his blog were either high or drunk all the time. A lot of them were there just to fantasize about Janeane 😮
Second class citizens.
They trashed Janeane a lot, as well.
I have no concern about what it says in the bible either… or rather I have concern that people take it literally or use selective interpretaiton…
They started trashing Janeane pretty much only after Janeane went off on her Scientology gig relative to Veterans mental health.. That was a bit off the wall. :eek::eek:
No. It was done before the overblown scientology shows. Go look at the old blogs.

Joshua fought the Battle of Jericho. Jericho. Jericho……And the walls came a tumbling down.
Marc Maron. On the show later……
OJ Corn Valley, Oregon caller.
Jericho is a good show.
we’re watching what you’re doing, you left wingers, you
Westchester! SJ’s neighbor.
In the Old Testament, in Joshua chapter 6, we have an account of the Israelites defeating the city of Jericho when they came into the Promised Land after wandering in the wilderness for 40 years. According to the biblical account, after the Israelites marched around the city once a day for six days, on the seventh day they encircled the city seven times. On the seventh time around, the priests blew the trumpets, the people shouted and the walls fell flat.
:omg:
The story in the Bible goes on to say that when the walls collapsed, the Israelites stormed the city and set it on fire. Archaeologists found evidence for a massive destruction by fire just as the Bible relates. Kenyon wrote in her excavation report,
“The destruction was complete. Walls and floors were blackened or reddened by fire, and every room was filled with fallen bricks, timbers, and household utensils; in most rooms the fallen debris was heavily burnt.”
:omg::omg:
What caused the strong walls of Jericho to collapse? The most likely explanation is an earthquake. But the nature of the earthquake was unusual. It struck in such a way as to allow a portion of the city wall on the north side of the site to remain standing, while everywhere else the wall fell.
:omg::omg::omg:
I have to admit I don’t know the bible all too well…only Jericho I really know is a town on Long Island…
Jericho was occupied by Israel after the Six-Day War in 1967. It was the first city handed over to Palestinian Authority control in 1994, in accordance with the Oslo accords. After a period of Israeli reoccupation, it was returned to the Palestinian Authority on 16 March 2005.
I see history repeats itself, they’re either destroying it or taking it or what have you… 🙁

Clever Bonobo triggers fire alarm, again
November 17, 2006
DES MOINES, Iowa –Panbanisha the bonobo is up to her tricks again. For the second time in as many months, the ape triggered a fire alarm at the Great Ape Trust of Iowa research center.
The trouble started Wednesday morning, when Panbanisha wanted to go outside but the staff was too busy to let her out, trust officials said. Panbanisha then apparently lost her temper and pulled the alarm, officials said.
It’s a trick Panbanisha initially learned in October when she saw a welder start the alarm. It took her less than a day to learn how to duplicate the excitement.
When the alarm sounded the next morning, “I went to check on Pan, and she was sitting there next to it with a smile on her face,” lead scientist Sue Savage-Rumbaugh said last month.
Savage-Rumbaugh said she explained the danger of such mischief and Panbanisha promised not to do it again.
Panbanisha is one of seven bonobos at the Great Ape Trust. Bonobos are one of the most human-like of the great apes and have sophisticated language skills.
Trust officials said they will cover the alarms to prevent a third prank from Panbanisha.
I was listening (briefly) to Tucker Carlson and Pat Buchanan talking about Giuliani. Tucker told Pat that when Giuliani left his wife he moved in with some gay men (true). Pat was flabbergasted. Very funny. But it does illustrate the many issues contained in Giuliani’s very public closet.
:rabbi::omg:
Re: 74 It would have taken a rethug at least six observations and nine attempts to duplicate it and then the fire alarm probably would still have not gone off.:nana::rant1:
Wow :hot: :smack:

Gorillas can’t talk.
Bonobos are capable of passing the mirror-recognition test for self-awareness. They communicate through primarily vocal means, although the meanings of their vocalizations are not currently known; however, humans do understand their facial expressions[3] and some of their natural hand gestures, such as their invitation to play. Two Bonobos, Kanzi and Panbanisha have been taught a vocabulary of about 400 words which they can type using a special keyboard of lexigrams (geometric symbols), and can respond to spoken sentences. Some, such as bioethicist Peter Singer, argue that these results qualify them for the “rights to survival and life”, rights that humans theoretically accord to all persons.
:omg:
Of course gorillas can talk.
they’re extremely intelligent…that brings up the question should “rights” be based on intelligence or other criteria… it’s a discussion worth having… wow, this sounds like Planet of the Apes
GOOD NEWS: NO BEAR HUNT IN NJ THIS YEAR!
In an October 30 victory for the animals, New Jersey Governor Jon S. Corzine failed to approve a proposed bear hunt for this year—and went on to order state environmental officials to control bears without killing them. “I believe it is not appropriate to go forward with a bear hunt for this year without first trying to implement significant new, non-lethal bear mitigation measures,” Corzine told the Associated Press.
In 2002, New Jersey legislators wisely passed a law banning the intentional feeding of bear, but until now there has been little enforcement or other efforts toward reducing bear-human contact in non-lethal fashion. Says the ASPCA’s Debora M. Bresch, Esq., Legislative Liaison, Eastern Region, “The ASPCA applauds Governor Corzine’s compassionate and reasoned decision not to approve the bear hunt in favor of the more aggressive pursuit of humane, non-lethal alternatives.”

Scientists for the first time have grown human heart valves using stem cells from the fluid that cushions babies in the womb _ offering a revolutionary approach that may be used to repair defective hearts in the future.
The idea is to create these new valves in the lab while the pregnancy progresses and have them ready to implant in a baby with heart defects after it is born.
The Swiss experiment follows recent successes at growing bladders and blood vessels and suggests that people may one day be able to grow their own replacement heart parts _ in some cases, even before they’re even born.

Human speech != talk.
Most of the time people think about the people that lived in Egyptian times as being human like but language is a derived characteristic so maybe they wrote in hieroglyphics because they didn’t actually speak to each other .. Maybe language was so primitive that pictures worked better .. Kind of like talking to industry management in America .. the applied use of the crayon.:rant1:
I really want a gorilla emo. It reminds me of ape canyon
I don’t think language was any less developed for ancient Egyptians and I’m sure they spoke to each other just as much as we do… written lanaguage and spoken language are different things, written language developed much later, spoken language is about as old as homo sapiens from what I understand, and it’s what helped them to excel
I’m sure that the white Europeans who first heard Xhosa didn’t consider it talking either, let alone human speech.

Mike Tyson To Be A Prostitute
Mike TysonFormer boxing champion Mike Tyson is to become a male escort after agreeing to work at legendary Hollywood madam Heidi Fleiss’ new legalized brothel for women. Fleiss bought 60 acres of land in Nevada, and his work is scheduled to begin on Heidi’s Stud Farm.
She has high hopes for Tyson, once heavyweight champion of the world – despite the fact he is a convicted rapist.
She says, “I told him, ‘You’re going to be my big stallion.’ It’s every man’s fear that their girlfriend will go for Mike Tyson.”
Tyson, 40, adds, “I don’t care what any man says, it’s every man’s dream to please every woman – and get paid for it.”

No. You will get Tyger Thom.
CNick!! How the hell are ya!
😀
Well I haven’t listened to Al Franken all week so I guess it really won’t matter if they do hire Tiger Tom. So what’s there to talk about now anyway? We won the House and the Senate. I’m bored of all this political talk. I think most of the country is to. That’s what would be good about having Marc on the Radio. The funny! So Sam says he’s off for Thanksgiving? So why doesn’t Marc guest host the Sam Seder show next Friday?
Hey Andy! I’m ok just been doing other things of late. What’s up with you man?
You are bored with politics. So you leave it to the politicians. Watch the Democrats triangulate, or do next to nothing. That will piss off people, and allow the right wing to mobilize and sweep back in. You are bored with politics?
I put this up late yesterday and stand by it. John Scott works for this station manager who started this story as I state below. I believe he would come up with some fabrication to cover him taking a popular show off of the air. I have watched his act for years and have known people who have worked for him.
The Al Franken rumor could be just that. The story was put out there by a station manager in SF to cover his butt for dropping Al’s show for Hartmann. Al is going on his USO trip around 12/10.
Then again, maybe it’s true, esp. if he continues not getting paid.
I can’t imagine Marc going back to AAR. He would probably need to hook up with Jones or Nova M and get syndicated station to station. It seems to have worked fo Malloy. Anyone have a read on how much pressure Maronites could bring to bear compared to what Malloy had?

UCLA Students to Protest Tasers Today
UCLA students plan to hold a protest today in response to university police officers’ repeated use of a Taser gun against a student Tuesday, Inside Higher Ed reports, linking to this Facebook announcement of the march. Police hit Mostafa Tabatabainejad four times with a Taser after he failed to provide a student ID card during a random check, the Daily Bruin reports. The Facebook announcement calls on students to join the march “not just because you’re Persian/Iranian but because you care about your fellow human beings.” A cellphone videotape of the evidence, obtained by the Daily Bruin, gives a detailed account of the library incident.
Yup, I am bored with politics. And I’m not the least bit concerned with the Retards mobilizing and sweeping their stinky selfs back in. I’ll let you worry about it NickiRose. You’re smarter than me anyhow. You work and I’ll play. K?
Well my yellow pages ad comes out in a couple of weeks, and I’m hoping it’ll give my computer business, more business.
And we dodged the storm bullet yesterday, just got some wind and a little rain.
I tend to believe your take on the Franken matter, wvm3cd. Anyway, we’ll see how it unfolds. I hope AAR re-hires Maron. Perhaps they will some day.
Why are you so snarky?
I want Marc back but I also like Al Franken’s show. I’m hoping he stays. AAR is losing too many good people, it’s getting ridiculous…

I think NickiRose was talking about me. It’s cool. He is right. I am being snarky.
Oh my goth! :omg:
:pup::pup:
My feeling about Franken is that he is too expensive…and as long as he stays they will have trouble finding a good buyer. They are top heavy and there is alot of upcoming talent that will work for a quarter to half a mil a year….Al will always be able to get a radio show if he wants….and especially if the fairness doctrine comes back in any form….
Franken has been making the TV circuit this week – Jon Stewart, MSNBC, etc… when asked about the senate he said “I don’t know” …. but if he does leave AA then that would make sense…

I’ll bet he could get a TV show what with the liberal swing of some of the networks…OK, MSNBC…..he an also be a freelance commentator and get himself into positiion to be a politician….
I don’t know why Franken would want to run. It’s madness I tell you! Franken is better at comedy. On the otherhand . . .
Al may be expensive but AA needs a good “headliner” …I like Sam Seder, buuuut…..I’m sorry, but I’d pick him over Randi…
Here’s one for ya PJ
Of course it will need to be patched in short order.

Democrats Warned Not to Block Judges
By LAURIE KELLMAN
The Associated Press
Friday, November 17, 2006; 7:24 PM
WASHINGTON — The Senate’s next Republican leader issued a veiled threat to block action on legislation if Democrats refuse to allow confirmation votes on President Bush’s troubled judicial nominations.
Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, who will become minority leader Jan. 4, told the conservative Federalist Society Friday not to feel bad about the Senate election results because Republicans will hold 49 seats in a body that requires 60 votes to end a filibuster and bring legislation or presidential nominees to a final vote.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – A top Bush administration official on Friday said the European Union, the United Nations and other international entities increasingly are using international law to challenge U.S. powers to reject treaties and protect itself from attack.
“International law is being used as a rhetorical weapon against us,” Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff, a former federal appellate judge, said in a speech to the Federalist Society, a conservative policy group.

Taser video again questions police behavior
UCLA student to sue; activists push for ‘patrolling the police’ with cameras
Updated: 9:35 a.m. PT Nov 17, 2006
LOS ANGELES – Alleging racial profiling, a UCLA student intends to sue after a campus police officer shot him with a Taser stun gun. The incident was caught on a cell phone camera, the third time in a week that police behavior in the Los Angeles area was criticized after amateur video surfaced.
In the UCLA case, the student, who was stunned Tuesday night after he refused to show ID at a school library, thought he was being singled out because of his Middle Eastern appearance, his lawyer said.
Attorney Stephen Yagman said he plans to file a federal civil rights lawsuit on behalf of the U.S.-born student, Mostafa Tabatabainejad.
Yagman said Tabatabainejad, 23, declined to show his school ID because he thought he was being targeted for his appearance. His family is of Iranian descent.
Police said Tabatabainejad encouraged others at the library to join his resistance, and when a crowd gathered, the officer used the stun gun on him.
Yagman disputed that, saying Tabatabainejad started yelling to draw attention after the police officer pulled out the Taser.
Tabatabainejad was arrested for resisting and obstructing a police officer and later released on his own recognizance.
The incident, recorded on another student’s camera phone, showed Tabatabainejad screaming while on the floor of the computer lab.
UCLA’s interim chancellor, Norman Abrams, urged the public to withhold judgment while the campus police department investigates.
Several civil rights organizations, including Amnesty International and the Council on American-Islamic Relations, have called for an independent review.
Activists train others to use video
Amateur videos like the one that captured the UCLA incident are quickly becoming a powerful community tool in the debate about police conduct.
An earlier cell phone video shows Los Angeles police beating a man repeatedly in the face. Another shows a handcuffed, homeless man being blasted with pepper spray in the face.
Some Los Angeles grassroots groups are training citizens to use cameras, video cell phones and Internet sites like YouTube to get their voices, and pictures, heard.
“We urge everyone to have a camera on them at all times so if anything happens it can be documented. The concept of patrolling the police is something we are trying to push as a form of direct action,” said Sherman Austin, a founder of Cop Watch L.A., which launched its Web site three months ago.
The three videos that surfaced this month recall the 1991 beating of black motorist Rodney King by four police officers, which was caught on home video.
Fifteen years later, black and Latino activists in tough Los Angeles neighborhoods are leaving nothing to chance.
“We have tried civilian review boards, we have tried going to City Hall and going to the police and all we have seen is more brutality,” said Austin, 23.
“Technology makes it all the easier now. There are little digital cameras you can buy for 20 bucks in a drugstore that take good enough photos in daylight. And then there’s the Internet that gets it out there.”
Police chief’s view
Los Angeles Police Chief William Bratton is investigating his officers’ conduct but cautioned against quick conclusions.
“I cannot make judgments based solely on videos or portions of videos,” Bratton said this week.
He contended there is no U.S. government agency that “has more policies, procedures, guidelines and independent oversight with respect to use of force than the LAPD.”
Ramona Ripston, executive director of the Southern California chapter of the ACLU, said the latest incidents underlined the case for more citizen oversight.
“This police department was a cowboy department, a department that was very quick on the trigger and it is hard to root out those practices from the past. That’s why the cameras are important,” Ripston said.
“If the police were not overreacting there would be no photographs to take.”
Austin, a dreadlocked African American with a police record, said he had been detained, followed and framed.
“I don’t remember how many times I have been pulled over by police or had the light shined in face because of the way I look. I am sick and tired of it. That’s why I thought it was necessary to start this organization because I can’t take it any more.”

Results Skewed Nationwide In Favor of Republicans by 4 percent, 3 million votes
A major undercount of Democratic votes and an overcount of Republican votes in U.S. House and Senate races across the country is indicated by an analysis of national exit polling data, by the Election Defense Alliance (EDA), a national election integrity organization.
These findings have led EDA to issue an urgent call for further investigation into the 2006 election results and a moratorium on deployment of all electronic election equipment.
“We see evidence of pervasive fraud, but apparently calibrated to political conditions existing before recent developments shifted the political landscape,” said attorney Jonathan Simon, co-founder of Election Defense Alliance, “so ‘the fix’ turned out not to be sufficient for the actual circumstances.” Explained Simon, “When you set out to rig an election, you want to do just enough to win. The greater the shift from expectations, (from exit polling, pre-election polling, demographics) the greater the risk of exposure–of provoking investigation. What was plenty to win on October 1 fell short on November 7.

The “Miracle of Chile” is a phrase coined by Milton Friedman to describe the liberal, monetarist economic reforms implemented in Chile under General Augusto Pinochet. Friedman did not personally support Pinochet, though he was, however, willing to advise him after Pinochet overthrew the democratically elected government of Salvador Allende, and was widely criticized for doing so. While some agree that economic liberalization helped the economy, others disagree with Friedman’s assessment, arguing that the Chilean economy went into serious decline between 1973 and 1983.
At several later occasions, Friedman stated that he had actually intended the “miracle” to refer to the political developments in Chile, rather than the economic ones. For instance, during an interview held in 1991, he said that the real miracle consisted not in the economic policies adopted by Chile, but in the fact that a military junta was willing to adopt them. In 1992 he said that the miracle consisted of the fact that Chile eventually returned to democracy. However, despite Friedman’s intentions, the phrase “Miracle of Chile” continues to be used to refer to economic aspects.
Neoliberalism is a label for the economic liberalism which has become increasingly important in international economic policy discussions from the 1970s onwards.
In its dominant international use, neoliberalism refers to a political-economic philosophy that de-emphasizes or rejects government intervention in the domestic economy. It focuses on free-market methods, fewer restrictions on business operations, and property rights. In foreign policy, neoliberalism favors the opening of foreign markets by political means, using diplomacy, economic pressure and, for some neoliberals, military might[1]. Opening of markets refers to free trade and an international division of labor. Neoliberalism generally favors multilateral political pressure through international organizations or treaty devices such as the WTO, World Bank and ADB. It promotes reducing the role of national governments to a minimum. Neoliberalism favors privatization over direct government intervention and production (such as Keynesianism), and measures success in overall economic gain. To improve efficiency and minimize unemployment, it strives to reject or mitigate labor policies such as minimum wage, and collective bargaining rights. It opposes socialism, protectionism, environmentalism, fair trade, and critics say it impedes democratic rule. Likewise, these critics argue that labor rights and social justice should have a priority in international relations and economics.
Keynesian economics (pronounced /?ke?nzj?n/), also called Keynesianism, or Keynesian Theory, is an economic theory based on the ideas of 20th century British economist John Maynard Keynes. Keynesian economics promotes a mixed economy, where both the state and the private sector play an important role. Keynesianism economics comes in contrast to laissez-faire economics (economic theory based on the belief that markets and the private sector could operate well on their own, without state intervention).
In Keynes’s theory, general (macro-level) trends can overwhelm the micro-level behavior of individuals. Instead of the economic process being based on continuous improvements in potential output, as most classical economists had believed from the late 1700s on, Keynes asserted the importance of aggregate demand for goods as the driving factor of the economy, especially in periods of downturn. From this he argued that government policies could be used to promote demand at a macro level, to fight high unemployment and deflation of the sort seen during the 1930s. Keynesian economics is a far reach from philosophical views of current famed economist Aaron Barmack.
here we go… :hot:
[… ]Marx saw capitalism as a society divided between two classes, the working class, producers of all value, and the owning and employing class, exploiters surplus value. For Marx, the fundamental fact about capitalism was the class struggle between the working class and the employing class over surplus-value.
Surplus-value and exploitation took a specific form in a capitalist society, but had existed long before Capitalism. Marx claimed that all history should be thought of as the history of class-struggles over surplus-value. That is, the theory of surplus-value is a theory of history:
No classes or surplus-value existed in prehistoric times, however. Early societies were undeveloped, and as a result their labor-productivity was so low that they could produce only enough to assure the reproduction of the tribe or band. In these circumstances they practiced “primitive communism.” This was necessary for survival: if each person did not produce according to her or his ability, and share with others according to their need, the group would not survive as a group, and no individual could survive for long without the group. Thus there could be no exploitation, and these early societies (Marx guessed) would be equalitarian and free, albeit very poor. There is a good deal of anthropological evidence consistent with Marx’ guess on this point. It does not mean that these “primitive” people are nice — some could be very violent to outsiders — and when in fact there is not enough for the group to survive (often because the people have been deprived of their land by more developed outsiders), the individuals who are strong enough may turn on the weaker ones in vicious competition for food. But there is no stable exploitation in these primitive societies, and left to themselves they tend to be equalitarian.
yay definitions,,,,
kain-zian-izm It look like Keen-zian-izm. Who cares?
Pretty boring. One problem was that thinkers like Marx were writing like they were doing science. His theories were supposed to be science. It is easy to poke holes in Marx’s theory. But one can learn a lot from studying him. Much is enduring today. Much of it is wrong, too. Read Sartre’s into to “Search for a Method” for a good way to read Marx.
I just had a bad dream about being lost in a big city somewhere …the dregs of the dream are still wrapped around me…
Marx is more relevent in modern historical periods since the industrial revolution, I do agree with that….
Sartre’s atheism was foundational for his style of existentialist philosophy. In March 1980, about a month before Sartre’s death, he was interviewed by an assistant of his, Benny Lévy, and within these interviews he expressed interest in Messianic Judaism. Some people apparently took this to indicate a religious conversion; however, the text of the interviews makes it clear that he did not consider himself a Jew, and was interested in the ethical and “metaphysical character” of the Jewish religion, while continuing to reject the idea of an existing God. In a separate 1974 interview with Simone de Beauvoir, Sartre said that he often saw himself “as a being that could, it seems, only come from a creator.” However he immediately adds that “this is not a clear, exact idea…” and in preceding and following passages he makes it clear that he remains an atheist and finds in atheism a source of personal and ethical power. Sartre’s words were:
I do not feel that I am the product of chance, a speck of dust in the universe, but someone who was expected, prepared, prefigured. In short, a being whom only a Creator could put here; and this idea of a creating hand refers to God.
:sdavid::omg:
good old Satre…he never danced in the moonlight I reckoon
He was a brilliant writer. He had his foibles, but did not hide them behind rationality. I got into a conversation a few years ago with Jeffrey St Clair over Sartre’s position on Israel and the Palestinians.
I’ve tended to concentrate on eastern as opposed to western philosophy recently. I know a bit about him but probably not as much as you
I wish I could connect my two VCRS and make a tape for you of this Bill Moyers show. I know my dad knew how to do it but I’m incompetent with that kind of thing 🙁
All you have to do is pick up one of his books. Try a novel, or a book of short stories. “No Exit” is a popular play. I would wager that people are staging it somewhere in New York City.
sounds interesting. I’m trying to catch up on certain western philosophers anyway
I have not been able to find an online copy of “Search for a Method”. :pirate:
if it’s in Barnes and Nobles I can read it….I guess not all copyright-free material is online yet (though it should be )
this drawing was fun (putting finishing touches on it) … wondering if you need any other material
It is better to read it at B&N. I just wanted to pull a few lines from it. He gives the sense of Marxism as a philosophy and not a deterministic science or–even worse– an ideology. Marxism is the philosophy of the age. All others are ideologies–including existentialism. To be relevant, they must take Marxism into account. He says it much better.
I need to work on that painting. I could turn it in now. But for it to be exceptionable, details need to be worked out.
I’ll look for it…yeah, something like that is better as a philosophy… it’s incredibly relevent but not science…now let’s have people treat “the free market” and capitalism as a philosophy also and not a religion…
yeah, I know what you mean… by all means get those details in there (I like those final stages of drawing/painting)
I can’t even find my beat up copy of it. I did find “Nausea” though. Must find the passage about the ancient tree in the park.
Or as ideology. That is what Sartre is getting at.
honestly, you talking about that painting is making me at least want to do colored pencil work again (I’ve only done black and white for the past six months) and maybe try painting again
I found that damned book. Marxism is the living philosophy of our age, he writes. Most Americans don’t realize it, though.
To me, Michael albert’s Parecon is the direction marxism is going. I would like to see if Albert discusses Sartre in any detail. Probably not. Although he quotes him from time to time.
Actually, we will need to set up experiments of the new political economy. Sartre was very theoretical and idealistic. Heady. His objective models were countries like Cuba and China and eastern Europe. All gone, except for Cuba. I wonder what he would think about today’s situation. Good riddance, Soviet Union. Onto something better.
yeah I have to study the parecon model. I agree that it has to be a practical philosophy and there needs to be experimentation, modification, etc. It has to be something where people say “this can work” (at least people who look at it with open eyes)
Sartre at 100: Still relevant?

A philosophy is first of all a particular way in which the arising class becomes conscious of itself. This consciousness may be clear or confused, indirect or direct. At the time of the noblesse de robe and of mercantile capitalism, a bourgeoisie of lawyers, merchants, and bankers gained a certain self-awareness through Cartesianism; a century and half later, in the primitive stage of industrialisation, a bourgeoisie of manufacturers, engineers, and scientists dimly discovered itself in the image of universal man which Kantianism offered to it.
J-P Sartre
existentialism… I don’t know…
But if it is to be truly philosophical, this mirror must be presented as the totalisation of contemporary Knowledge. The philosopher effects the unification of everything that is known, following certain guiding schemata which express the attitudes and techniques of the rising class regarding its own period and the world. Later, when the details of this Knowledge have been, one by one, challenged and destroyed by the advance of learning, the over-all concept will still remain as an undifferentiated content. These achievements of knowing, after having been first bound together by principles, will in turn-crushed and almost undecipherable-bind together the principles. Reduced to its simplest expression, the philosophical object will remain in “the objective mind” in the form of a regulative Idea, pointing to an infinite task. Thus, in France one speaks of “the Kantian Idea” or in Germany of “Fichte’s Weltanschauung.”
This is because a philosophy, when it is at the height of its power, is never presented as something inert, as the passive, already terminated unity of Knowledge. Born from the movement of society, it is itself a movement and acts upon the future. This concrete totalisation is at the same time the abstract project of pursuing the unification up to its final limits. In this sense philosophy is characterised as a method of investigation and explication. The confidence which it has in itself and in its future development merely reproduces the certitudes of the class which supports it.
Every philosophy is practical, even the one which at first appears to be the most contemplative. Its method is a social and political weapon. The analytical, critical rationalism of the great Cartesians has survived them; born from conflict, it looked back to clarify the conflict. At the time when the bourgeoisie sought to undermine the institutions of the Ancien Regime, it attacked the outworn significations which tried to justify them.’ Later it gave service to liberalism, and it provided a doctrine for procedures that attempted to realize the “atomisation” of the Proletariat.
its method is a social and political weapon
I can see that… I think we need a new philosophy, or those spinmeisters are going to keep importing that Randian crap on us…
If philosophy is to be simultaneously a totalisation of knowledge, a method, a regulative Idea, an offensive weapon, and a community of language, if this “vision of the world” is also an instrument which ferments rotten societies, if this particular conception of a man or of a group of men becomes the culture and sometimes the nature of a whole class-then it is very clear that the periods of philosophical creation are rare. Between the seventeenth century and the twentieth, I see three such periods, which I would designate by the names of the men who dominated them: there is the “moment” of Descartes and Locke, that of Kant and Hegel, finally that of Marx. These three philosophies become, each in its turn, the humus of every particular thought and the horizon of all culture; there is no going beyond them so long as man has not gone beyond the historical moment which they express.
Perhaps this is the basis of how Sartre would address what you posted:
I have often remarked on the fact that an “anti-Marxist” argument is only the apparent rejuvenation of a pre-Marxist idea. A so-called “going beyond” Marxism will be at worst only a return to pre-Marxism; at best, only the rediscovery of a thought already contained in the philosophy which one believes he has gone beyond.
so it’s time to build on that…
What exactly do you mean by randian crap?
pre-Marxist makes sense with Rand, because it’s a primitive way of thinking, and calls for people to give in to the base, “Id” way of being (for lack of better terms) Marx with all his faults is at least calling for something new that asks humans to play to their higher selves
capitalism as an almost religious philosophy. human beings as not part of a group but every person for themselves, and ultimately an elite based on the laws of “the jungle”… I’m sure there’s more to it but these are the basic ideas I think…
Ayn Rand! Free market=freedom. As you know, what they mean by free markets is free markets for you and government protection for them. It is a con game. Perhaps Sartre would see in Randian ideology a return to primitive cartesianism. Economics as determined by mechanistic laws, or something.
I know very little about Cartesianism. I’m sure Satre would have a field day looking at Rand, though…
Sartre would agree with those who want humanity to decide how the political economy unfolds; an economy which is beneficial for all. Not a corrupted system which is geared to keep the few in wealth and power.
The central idea of Cartesianism is that the mind is separate from the body and that the mind can be better and more fully understood than the body. One’s essential identity is one’s mind and the interior processes of the mind have more reality than the physical processes of the body. It follows from this that what you think (subjectivity) is more important than anything outside you in the physical world (objectivity); from this would be developed the Enlightenment concept of the subject.
He would quickly explode that mythology.
I think I need to read more about politics and philosophy
Adam Smith would have destroyed Rand’s ideology.
so what you think is the only reality… seems like I’ve heard that tune before. I don’t know about “the body” having anything to do with it…but certainly discounting any objectivity if you discount the “outside”
well someone needs to destroy it quite publically, because a large portion of people in this country follow it without knowing what it is exactly they follow…
Read Descartes. It is enriching. What separates humans from nature is our ability to reason.
[A modern enlightened thinker might say:]
Apply our reason to political economy (or anything) and develop a system which is fairer for all than the gangster capitalism we now have. Don’t leave the economy to the whims of chaotic, “natural” forces.
I need to study Parecon…but yeah, that too…whatever political philosophy people embrace it’s going to have to have more than populist vibe but also a compassionate vibe…
Ayn Rand’s libertarianism was proven a sham by the Great Depression. Markets need large infusions of money by the government, or they will collapse. This is keynesianism. The US uses a form of keynesianism called “military keynesianism”. It keeps the government handout–unlike Sweden–out of the reach of the society as a whole, and firmly in the mitts of the Military/Industrial…
