Return to Resistance

13-10-2008 11:18

What has become of prison revolts in the British prison system? Where now are the open expressions of collective anger and solidarity that fueled the uprisings and jail riots of the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s and created the iconic images of Hull 1976 and Strangeways 1990? What happened to the spirit of revolt that used to periodically shake the British long-term prison system and engender a philosophy of prisoner empowerment and solidarity, a philosophy that situated the struggle of prisoners at the very forefront of the universal struggle for human rights and even social revolution?

PANIC DECLARED Empty store shelves, gas pumps, ATMs ahead -

10-10-2008 16:23

The Rise of the Finance Economy and Fall of Manufacturing
Forget debating a 1929-style stock crash. It just happened, and the banking "holiday," if it happens, won't wait 4 years as it did in the Depression because THIS crisis started with banking. If it weren't for World War II, we would still be in the Depression. Capitalism as we have known it is dead -- Bush & Co. are proving it by socializing the insurer AIG and talk of buying into banks, etc. Our only hope that the finance and service economy (see chart) would take up the slack left by the end of WWII. But the finance economy just failed. The tech (computer) industry is sure to follow its partner down the drain. Empty store shelves and unavailability of cash to you as well as businesses are possibilities we deal with here.

The real reasons behind the global "bailout" plan

08-10-2008 12:31

The bailout “solution” to delay the deepening of the crisis is not simply the wrong solution; it is the "solution" to accomplish the worst, as it is continuing the same path that has led to the current stage. It will inevitably drive the world-economy into its final collapse by further weakening of the production sphere and strengthening the speculative sphere.
The signs of the above can be read in the recent warnings of "a slow and painful recovery", despite the accepted bailout bill in the US. What this means is that although there will be a long and painful process, it will not lead to recovery in the end, because, in addition to paying the bill to non-productive hands, the productive sphere will be forced to produce the values of what they pay.
