I like that we have automatic transcription now. Note that it called Thurow "Thoreau" and wrote "Marshall" as "martial." I guess I'll see if I have power to edit the transcript.
Check up from the neck up. Hadn't heard that one for awhile. See you at the Poor People's March Chicago . This sailor will be honored to have lunch with Mr. Street. Stay great.
Fascism ought to scare everyone out of their wits, so let's stop it before we can't, if it's not already too late. With all the "benefits" of AI it will be way worse than the Nazi regime in Germany in the 1930s and 40s.and much faster Incidentally, the USA invited or allowed many of them after WW2 to emigrate to our"homeland",
just to be clear, it is a natural and social scientific fact that climate change cannot be properly dealt with under the capitalist system. Not a chance. Ten more years of capitalism is an ecological death sentence for humanity. War is also built into the system (but could solve climate change with nuclear winter). The executive office can go Harris and neither of these basic realities change. So bring the list down to this central one: help organize to take state power away from capital and wield it for the people in the name of a revolutionary socialism.
We don't have ten-more years - climate change will take us all to misery and death as we can see now around the world with fellow humans running from drought, poverty and military madness. Capitalism needs to go but that ain't gonna happen. Thanks for your voice Paul.
re: "Capitalism needs to go but that aint gonna happen": don't give up. help make capitalism go. don't be what is known in baseball as "dugout poison".
Agreed. Let's say the chances of revolution are 2 in 10 (I'd say higher but let's go with a pessimistic #) . Okay, so then we come to the plate batting .200. Why bring our bating average down to .000 by letting the pessimism of our minds trump the optrimism of our will (to play with the stupid and self-cancelling Gramsci maxim).
I agree Jazzme, I'm old too and physically weak and poor. I can still think but not very creative in dealing with the onslaught. I observe, I fear, "but at the end of the day" (I hate that phrase? But at the end of the year I suspect I will be dead, just when I finally am interested in history, science and politics and just in time to not suffer the consequences of human stupidity,greed and shortsightedness. We're facing a three alarm situation, I'm not an optimist, and the momentum of the "situation" will not slow down. AKA the Juggernaut!
Jazzme, a guy named Mao wrote a book called On Contradiction. He said in every situation there are many contradictions. Some important, some not important. But only one is the principal contradiction.

Musk is a good example of this slide.

Fascism is the continuation of capitalism by other means.
Thanks for clarifying this Paul.

fascism bad
Capitalism bad
Socialism mostly good
got it Paul
but when you are up to your neck in aligators it's hard to remember the intial entent was to drain the swamp.
We got wars to contend with
climate change to deal with
an executive office opening to deal with
the list in endless Paul
too many holes in the dam (lto many aligators to contend with)
plus I'm an old man and multitasking is not in my wheelhouse.
but I'll try
