Greece and the Endgame of the Neocolonial Model of Exploitation (February 19, 2015)

7. If one is blind for a cause...

One will only wonder alone in the wilderness.

Don't assume that I don't from what I speak of. DU is not some magical source of superior knowledge. Beware of the echo chamber and question the information and challenge yourself sometimes. The reason I was so harsh on the text was that I'm so disappointed with the intellectual laziness of many left wingers who would rather talk about neo-liberal conspiracy theories about banks and elites than to actually create a sound ideas that people could rally on. And this is not me saying that people on the top don't do any crap that they shouldn't be called for. There are many policies that you and I can agree are awful and make our lives worse. And that banks and big corporations do get off way too easily and have way too much power in our societies. But understanding that they do have an important role and to diffuse that power has to be done without taking the whole society down and governments can't be the ones who will take that power over. That will lead to a different kind of crisis. Power can't be eliminated, it can only be shifted. No one can be relied with having too much power because it always corrupts.
