Blondie's View

- FOFOA - FoFOA

I will not argue with the point that living within one's means is important, but austerity is about much more than an effort by the giants to fix things. If anything, it is more about their effort to destroy the living standard of the shrimps, which is something they desire as part of their thrust toward greater power and less democracy, than any effort to solve the financial crisis. In the US, the giants waste vast sums on unnecessary war for profit and on the homeland security apparatus, yet the cheerleaders of austerity consistently overlook this. Fascism pleases too many of them. The financial crisis is about so much more than just money and it was not created by the allegedly irresponsible shrimps. The giants have their hands on all the levers and divert attention away from that fact by blaming the powerless. Why do you let them get away with this? All that is going on is related and must be examined as a whole, in context. The thrust toward US global military hegemony is not in any way separate from our economic crisis, nor is it separate from the overthrow of our rights. How can anyone so simple-mindedly tie the whole thing to just money or to the need for "austerity"? As long as austerity is being commonly defined only as money taken from public services, from the poor, and not as a reduction of the fascist war state, we will never have true austerity.

When you take all our tax money out of the public sector, I assure you it will ALL be spent on spying, on militarizing the police force, on "re-education" camps, on drone bombing innocent civilians around the globe and on more illegal war activity. American society will gain nothing from any of this, not even national security. Did you know it has been openly announced that the UN will be giving the US war orders in the future? We are now openly serving as the military arm of the Western elite. How exactly does this help us with our fiscal crisis? How does this help us to spend wisely? Money taken from public services will never, under this government, be used to create economic stability.

What is your evidence for such an argument? I would like to see some proof that so-called austerity measures will actually benefit the economy or society - in this environment and with these people in power. On what do you base such an astonishing belief? The ruling class will do what exactly....? balance the budget, stop spending recklessly... how and when? At what point will their balance sheet lead to stability of any sort? Stability and prosperity are not on their drawing board. It is completely fatuous - even delusional - to believe otherwise. They have a completely different agenda. It benefits us to stay focused on it, as we are slowly being co-opted into support of it.

Beginning of the headline : I thought Blondie's excellentcommentwas just about good enough to be a post.And when RJ called it Sermon on the Mountmaterial, that tipped the scale.But be careful not to miss the forest for the trees, or the fractal for the chaos, because Blondie pretty much nails it.It's all in the view—the perspective...
