A string of highly partisan budget battles
has called into question Washington
disillusioning the U.S. public
the bipartisan supercommittee mark
Congress' job approval (Gallup) dipped to just 13 percent
the players seem unaware how damaging they are
a last-minute deal to avoid a default
stripped the United States of its AAA credit-rating
Official joblessness rate hits 8.6 per cent, lowest in 32 months, though many may be dropping out of job hunt.
It's a bit of a bloodbath really
In fact, there's so little incentive to integrate and become more productive
{destination, closed source, vs point of departure, OS, what each creates}
In 1848 revolutions broke out almost simultaneously in 50 different countries from Wallachia to Brazil
universal education systems, for instance – were created pretty much everywhere
The “ten days that shook the world” in 1917 took place in Russia
what Wallerstein calls the “world revolution of 1968” was more like 1848: it rippled from China to Czechoslovakia to France to Mexico
nonetheless began a broad transformation in our sense of what a revolution might even mean
its spirit pervaded everything
In recent years we have seen a kind of continual series of tiny ’68s
The uprisings against state socialism that began in Tiananmen Square
the collapse of the Soviet Union
the Zapatista world revolution, Seattle, Genoa, Cancun, Quebec, Hong Kong,
principles of decentralized direct democracy and direct action
It only makes sense then that the World Revolution of 2011 should have begun as a rebellion against US client states, in much the same way as the rebellions that brought down Soviet power began in places like Poland and Czechoslovakia
he Mediterranean from North Africa to Southern Europe, across the Atlantic to New York
this time the power elite can’t start a war. They already tried that. They’re basically out of cards to play
Of course this could be the first moment in yet another round of recuperation and defeat.
