Neoliberalism Isn't An Economic Program - It's A Political Program Designed To Produce Hopelessness And Kill Any Future Alternatives.

Until Such Time As Homo Sapiens Should Decide To Rejoin Nature, Some Of Us Can Only Hope For The Right Virus To Come Along.

The Fascinating Thing About Standard Economic Stories Is Exactly That: They Assume That Everybody Wants That Kind Of Closure. That All Human Relations Are Forms Of Exchange, Because If Everything Is An Exchange Then It's True That We're Both Equals. We Walk Up, I Give You Something, You Give Me Something, And We Walk Away. Or I Give You Something, You Don't Give Me Something Right Now, And You Owe Me. So If We Have Any Ongoing Relationships At All, It's Because Somebody Is In Debt.

I Came To The Conclusion That Most People In America Would Really Like To Be Able To Get A Job Where They Think They're Doing Something Noble And Nice And Good And It Isn't Just For The Money.
