#530 -- Capitalism, Democracy, and Environmental Catastrophe (R)

Invited to speak on "the future of capitalism," NOAM CHOMSKY first shows that the actual US economic system is very far from real "capitalism." It is essentially socialism-for-corporations. And the political system actually in place is far from "democracy." To Chomsky, the future of the ACTUAL system--and of the planet--seem grim. For the sake of short-term profit, our business and political leaders are working hard to bring about environmental catastrophe as rapidly as possible.

А у вас негров линчуют/And You Are Lynching Negroes: An Indigenist Critique on the Utilisation of 'Whataboutism' as a Left-Wing Political Ideology

SUMMARY: @TheAngryindian speaks further on the fuzzy ideological links developing between popular individuals and groups representing the extremist, White racist far-Right and US/UK/CND Leftists (not all Caucasian) so disillusioned with the establishment find political common ground on many issues/subjects neo-Nazi/White Nationalist propagandists and armed ‘Sovereign Citizens’ have promoted for decades. How this can happen in the face of the obvious fact that Fascists/Conservatives publicly endorse racial-war(s); misogyny and genocide in their fight for extreme nationalism; colonialism and imperialism makes little sense, nor does their active and contradictory support for the ‘rights’ of the neo-Nazis to pursue such madness simply because the far-right harbours (faux-revolutionary) hate for the extant status quo. The Zionist movement has historically done the exact same thing, deciding to make a bargain with the Devil following the Second World War by adopting the hardline Zionist position of using European-style fascism to justify (and excuse) Apartheid and genocidal government policies against native Palestinians and those who support their basic human and territorial rights under international law. Is the Anglophone Left willing to go down the same, hypocritical and potentially dangerous road to ideological perdition? EXTRAS: Aside from ‘found’ news media quips; the usual mix of progressive PSA’s; a rendition of ‘Meen Erhabe?’ (Who is the terrorist?) from Palestinian hip-hop trio DAM; and an archived audio recording (submitted by a regular listener) of an address in London by Prof. Jeff Halper speaking about the human rights situation in Occupied Palestine. All this and much more on, 4WR. The official internet radio broadcast of the Aboriginal Press News Service

Huge Tragedy:Tennessee Workplace ICE Raid

Morristown, Tennessee subjected to the largest workplace raid by immigration authorities in over a decade. with Camila Fyler, Integration Director, The Tennessee Immigrant & Refugee Rights Coalition who has been stationed in Morristown since the raid to help coordinate financial Assistance to the families and secure legal representation for immigrant detainees. and Beatrice who has experienced the loss of many of her family member in the raids.in which hundreds of families have been impacted Federal agents, with the assistance of the Tennessee Highway Patrol, stormed into Southeastern Provision, a meat-processing plant in Bean Station, TN. As helicopters circled above the factory and agents blocked doors, about 100 workers were rounded up and filed into buses without & opportunity to explain who they were, how long they had been there, or whether they were subject to federal immigration law at all. 54 community members living in East Tennessee for decades, some of whom had devoted over ten years of labor to that factory, were shipped out of the state without even a chance to say goodbye to their spouses and children. Their families were told nothing, and were left to wonder what had happened to loved ones who never came home. This is a humanitarian crisis. At least 160 children are missing a parent, nearly 600 students in a single school district have stayed home out of fear, and participation in the economy and community has been chilled. Hundreds of families whose lives have been torn apart. It's hard to imagine another kind of crisis that would cause 5% of the children in the district to stay home that wouldn't trigger some kind of intervention or at least public response. Well talk with the people in Morristown & its surrounding communities about the human costs of this unconscionable abuse of power on the children devastated by this assault on their families, and on the thousands who are rightly afraid to go to work, take their kids to school, or even leave their homes. The disaster stemming from the recent immigration raid continues to unfold. But, we know from similar raids in previous decades that the impact on children's health, on the school system, and on the local economy can last for years to come. This is no time for silence!

Bacon shows how immigrant communities are fighting back—envisioning a world in which migration isn’t forced by poverty or environmental destruction and people are guaranteed the “right to stay home.” This richly detailed and comprehensive portrait of immigration reveals how the interconnected web of labor, migration, and the global economy unites farmers, migrant workers, and union organizers across borders.
