A must read A Gramscian Perspective

Interesting as always to see how leftists are up in arms screaming at another crime of the Israeli-settler state, posting one article after another, one image after another, resuming their ritual of marching and chanting ... These are the same leftists who hardly lifted a finger against the Asad’s regime crimes in Syria, or even supported it. 

Poor Denmark! It doesn’t have either the money, the houses or the moral obligation to accept 100 more Syrian refugees. Denmark is providing a model on how to deal with unwanted refugees. Other European states might/will follow suit, especially in right-and-far-right-led countries. Copenhagen will not renew residency rights

This book is definitely a must read. It implies though that there is no alternative to capitalism. State intervention should remedy the ills of the system. The review concludes with a typical misleading suggestion: “If Biden truly intends to establish a more just and egalitarian economic order, he would do well to consult both the achievements and the tragedies of U.S. development documented in Levy’s book.” The use of the comparative form implies that there is already a sort of ‘just and egalitarian economic order’, which an absurd thing to say. Biden could make that order more just and egalitarian. Why does one not just state: “if Biden truly intends to establish a just and egalitarian order...”?
