(7 posts)You've heard of DISASTER Capitalism? Well, it has a corelate, DISASTER anti-Capitalism - and - I won't say Disaster Socialism, because what Nader caused in 2000, beginning with the War on Iraq, is more fascist than it is socialist and that goes for what wants us to believe it is "the Left" too.
The general concept, sometimes referred to as Social Darwinism, is that you are too stupid to be able to recognize your own most efficient interests, so you need, not only a "2 X 4" up aside your own head, your family and community need to suffer the worst harms possible, before you'll wise up and do what needs to be done. This is why almost all public policy and programs devolve into the lowest common-denominator elements and, then, therefore, why they don't succeed in evoking more fully realized human development.
