by Andrew Gavin Marshall from Global Research. I have my doubts about posting this article in that I'm not sure of its net effects. The author presents a vast amount of well documented information regarding the growth of neo-liberalism, its various disasters, the growing fascist-like management of dissent and opposition by the financial elites who run this system, etc--all of which is true, but I am concerned that he mostly contributes to an overwhelming and immobilizing fear. He leaves only "hope" at the end of this piece.
It is worthwhile in that it provides perspective and urgency about opposing the further development of this neo-liberal totalitarianism, but no tools to stop it. I think that most of us on the left have already a fair understanding of the dire situation. What we need are ideas to show us the way out. Such ideas have been presented by the exponents of Inclusive Democracy and The Simpler Way, but these need much further development.
