@wyattreed13 If in a poll with two answers--one right, the other wrong--half of the people picked the wrong answer, statistically that would mean the other half guessed right. So in that case none of the USians polled knew if more Palestinians or Israelis died in the "war." Yes, as intended.

@Natie2Natie The US government is the largest Mafia in the world
@RodericDay @afromaterialism Yet MLK was moving further and further left as he started to see the bigger picture. It seems very likely that was why the government assassinated him.
@BoSKIIII @SabbySabs2 I'm convinced he's just evil, yet right about some things. Like Tulsi Gabbard.
@SabbySabs2 He actually sounds worse than a lot of warmongering politicians!
@SpiritofHo Of course he knows the headline is parody! The point is that this parody isn't so much crazier than what The NYT actually writes. Otherwise he wouldn't talk about the headline being "believable" now would he? He'd just say look how insane the NYT is!!
@SpiritofHo Zizek is absolutely vile here. Incredibly racist and wishing for nuclear winter at the same time. Disgusting and irredeemable.
@ComposerShirley @RodericDay redistribution strategies that benefit labor. He also advocates for a robust and expanding public sector to facilitate the decommodification of goods and services.
@ComposerShirley @RodericDay He distinguishes between industrial capitalism and finance capitalism because they operate under different principles. OP doesnt agree but M.H. has a salient argument. This covers some of it: michael-hudson.com/2015/10/the-pa… And he supports industrial development out of necessity- in
@matterspattern1 @RodericDay I mean of the post-30's, as it really got going. But anyway, I've also heard Hudson critique China's current direction (I think in good faith, and they seem to think so too), not the Deng phase, but present. So again, clarity would be illuminating.
@matterspattern1 @RodericDay ..needs to return to the industrial capitalism of the 30's? I've never heard him say the current US situation was inevitable, because capitalism. I've been genuinely curious about this for some time, so here's hoping the OP's influence will spur him to discuss it.
@matterspattern1 @RodericDay It's complex for sure. Hudson has a lot to offer. I've listened to many hours of him and learned a lot, but he IS vague when it comes to "where the US went wrong" & WHY. Does he mean the US stumbled upon something good in the 30's despite capitalism? Or does he mean the US just..
@ComposerShirley @RodericDay Why? He doesn't understand his message. He's strawmanning M.H. and is dissauding people from looking into the work for themselves.
@ComposerShirley @RodericDay He's not vague it's a complex problem. All his work is directed towards creating a market that serves the common good and not oligarchs.
@matterspattern1 @RodericDay Maybe you're right, but I think the OP's right to question Hudson's message.
