Reform means appealing to those with the most invested in the current structure.<BR/><BR/>in Jays spirit of new beginnings I think we should discard the model of organizations for particular,self interest and think of broader, less competitive models.troutskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16020298501632120830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18667312.post-1145243792370752082006-04-16T21:16:00.001-06:002006-04-16T21:16:00.001-06:00Are all corporations inherently evil?

Was it a few rich white guys that didn't want to lose their shirts? (I probably need to rewatch The Corporation.) We shouldn't be blind to the idea that corporations can serve very useful purposes, even to leftists. They can remove activists from certain liabilities, for example. There are not-for-profit corporations that do serve the public and "fight the good fight." As we probably all know these groups are almost always underfunded and the "corporate" label has potential to bail them out if they find themselves in whatever predicament. Unfortunately, there is a growing trend among some unscrupulous individuals to take advantage of the situation.John in Montanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15407968263224605019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18667312.post-1145243792040093302006-04-16T21:16:00.000-06:002006-04-16T21:16:00.000-06:00Are all corporations inherently evil?

Students in France making demands, people in Latin America taking back control,Social Forums raising questions, (proposing a few, tentative answers,) even an article in The Nation, that bastion of liberal thought, titled The Left Needs Socialism!Michael Alberts piece on anti-capitalism,and many others laying groundwork. The Right seems to be in disarray, mired in imperialist war, corruption scandals, facing environmental disintegration,finding it harder and harder to explain away rising inequality and debt passed on to future generations.<BR/><BR/>Still we must face the reality of capitalisms ability to adjust and coerce, through hegemonic and more overt forms of control.For me this means we must make some very serious decisions about the forms and structures and processes we propose to replace the current system because to fail at this juncture could mean bad things, a return to totalitarianism, a fascist backlash, even worse.<BR/><BR/>What is to be done? Linkages, alliances, coalition building, movement organizing.I want to start looking regionally at anti-capitalist activity, radical unions,unemployed, academics, students etc. We have talked about education efforts, forums to bring in new ideas, developing materials and gaining exposure.The masses are disgusted with politics- as- usual.Then there is the issue of funding, a fishing guide and school teachers only have so much time and resources.New beginnings built on a solid radical tradition, si?troutskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16020298501632120830noreply@blogger.com
