12516 [lbo-talk] "secular elites" -- rank: 1000
Ok, so now Yoshie tells us to dismiss the huge anti-AKP demonstrations in Istanbul as representing "secular elitists." I've got at least two problems with this. First, in the Turkish context, the Islamists are in large part drawn from the business class. The AKP itself is quite neoliberal and pro- American. (It's interesting to see such sympathetic coverage of AKP in the New York Times, which is not otherwise known for its sympathy to Islamist forces. And it's also interesting tha ...

New York Times - April 30, 2007 Venture Capital Rushes Into Alternative Energy By MATTHEW L. WALD Money is flowing into alternative energy companies so fast that "the warning signs of a bubble are appearing," according to a report on investment in clean technology by a New York research firm, Lux Research.

12520 [lbo-talk] Turkey report -- rank: 1000
[Lou Proyect writes to his list...] My wife is instant messaging with her best friend right now who took part in the 300,000 strong demonstration against the AKP, the Islamic party in power that mixes neoliberalism, pro-imperialist foreign policy and populist rhetoric. She demonstrated with her entire family and states that most people marched under the slogans "No to the military" and "No to Islamic government." She is a lot like most of the people I know in Istanbul: ...
