ALVARO GARCIA LINERA—Now the planet is plunged into an uncertainty of fate. The ruling elites diverge on how to get out of the economic and environmental quagmire they have caused, the poor no longer blame themselves for their poverty, the neoliberal utopia is fading and the priests of the free market no longer have parishioners at their feet to bamboozle with future redemptions in exchange for present complacencies.
CAPITALIST SICKNESS

PHILIP GIRALDI—The new body of legislation would mean increased secret legal surveillance, suppression of free speech, indefinite incarceration without charges, torture, and even perhaps assassination. If it sounds like totalitarianism it should.

WHITNEY WEBB—For instance, those who “violently oppose” “all forms of capitalism” or “corporate globalization” are listed under this less-discussed category of “domestic terrorist.” This highlights how people on the left, many of whom have called for capitalism to be dismantled or replaced in the US in recent years, could easily be targeted in this new “war” that many self-proclaimed leftists are currently supporting. Similarly, “environmentally-motivated extremists,” a category in which groups such as Extinction Rebellion could easily fall, are also included.
In addition, the phrasing indicates that it could easily include as “terrorists” those who oppose the World Economic Forum’s vision for global “stakeholder capitalism,” as that form of “capitalism” involves corporations and their main “stakeholders” creating a new global economic and governance system. The WEF’s stakeholder capitalism thus involves both “capitalism” and “corporate globalization.”

ITALIAN communists said “fuck you” to the European Union on Saturday as thousands from across Italy rallied in Rome against the dangerous anti-communist motion passed by the EU Parliament last month.
Communist Party general secretary Marco Rizzo shouted the oath as he tore up a copy of the resolution, which equates communism with fascism, to loud cheers from the huge crowds gathered in the Italian capital’s Piazza Santi Apostoli.
He condemned the motion for rewriting history with its claim that the 1939 Molotov-Ribbentrop pact had caused the second world war. (In reality, it was far more the allies’ policy of deliberate “appeasement”, concretised in the infamous “Munich pact” between Britain and Hitler. —Ed). The resolution also calls for the erasure of all memorials of “totalitarianism” across Europe, including those dedicated to the Red Army.

These caricatures that are sometimes made of a clean slate, which are the way some people use to discredit their opponents, do not make sense because one never starts from zero”. He pointed out that “what we have is a project of transformation and overcoming neoliberalism, placing the frontier in the responsibility of the State to ensure a decent life for all.”
