That's true of ThinkProgress, and the Van Jones-MoveOn combine, but I don't think that's fair to the Roosevelt Institute, at least the person of Mike Konczal. Doug

1068 [lbo-talk] OWS Demands working group: jobs for all! -- rank: 1000
A comment just posted to my blog, which is very much like one posted half an hour ago: > yes, i'm sure capitalists will be terrified by your generous offer to work more for them. Therefore, jobs programs are bad. So here we have a random poster and a high-profile intellectual telling us why such demands are bad from an anarchist POV. Doug

1069 [lbo-talk] OWS Demands working group: jobs for all! -- rank: 1000
Here's a statement of the principle, by a very sophisticated guy (emphasis mine): <http://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2011/10/david-graeber-on-playing-by-the-rules- -the-strange-success-of-occupy-wall-street.html> This is where I must admit my own position is particularly confusing.

That is, I believe in anarchist principles mutual aid, direct a ...

E.g.: anarchists object to demands for a public works jobs program financed by taxing the rich because to do so would be to legitimize the state and reinforce the commodity-money setup.

So does anyone know what's going on in Spain? My instant research before the event said it fizzled. Some people in the audience said no, but were unconvincing on the details. Anyone know? Doug

1080 [lbo-talk] OWS: a view from Australia -- rank: 1000
[posted by Gary MacLennan to Lou Proyect's Marxmail] Watching this and it was extremely interesting to sit through. This is I truly hope the very beginning of the reconstruction and the rediscovery of an American Left. I keep banging on about this, but American comrades must understand how this is galvanising the world. If the Left in America re-emerges as an historical agent, then a lot will become possible. The actual viewing of the video was in many ways a trip down memory lane for me. It has ...
