"Det är lätt att kritisera, men har du något alternativ"... hör man ibland. Hur tycker Noam Chomsky att samhället ska skötas? Läs HÄR ett utdrag ur boken "Att förstå makten" - han är som vanligt mycket intressant att läsa.

Vad skulle vi göra om vi inte hade alla gamla ismer? Kan vi inte tänka själva?

Lära oss gå utan kryckor.
Nedanstående är hämtat från williamfranklin.blog.co.uk , ganska roligt, den sista tycker jag är underbar.

SOCIALISM You have two cows. You give one to your neighbour.
COMMUNISM You have two cows. The State takes both and gives you some milk.
FASCISM You have two cows. The State takes both and sells you some milk.
CAPITALISM You have two cows. You sell one and buy a bull. Your herd multiplies, and the economy grows. You sell them and retire on the income.

AMERICAN CORPORATION You have two cows. You sell one, and force the other to produce the milk of four cows. Later, you hire a consultant to analyze why the cow has dropped dead.
CHINESE CORPORATION You have two cows. You have 300 people milking them. You claim that you have full employment, and high bovine productivity. You arrest the newsman who reported the real situation.
SWISS CORPORATION You have 5000 cows. None of them belong to you. You charge the owners for storing them.
BRITISH CORPORATION You have two cows. A hedge fund holds title to both the cows and the field but you have a Credit Default Swap Certificate with J.P.Morgan Chase.
FRENCH CORPORATION You have two cows. You go on strike, organize a riot, and block the roads, because you want three cows.
JAPANESE CORPORATION You have two cows. You redesign them so they are one-tenth the size of an ordinary cow and produce twenty times the milk. You then create a clever cow cartoon image called 'Cowkimon' and market it worldwide.
GERMAN CORPORATION You have two cows. You re-engineer them so they live for 100 years, eat once a month, and milk themselves.
ITALIAN CORPORATION You have two cows, but you don't know where they are. You decide to have lunch.
RUSSIAN CORPORATION You have two cows. You count them and learn you have five cows. You count them again and learn you have 42 cows. You count them again and learn you have 2 cows. You stop counting cows and open another bottle of vodka.
NEW ZEALAND CORPORATION You have two cows. The one on the left looks very attractive.
AUSTRALIAN CORPORATION You have two cows. Business seems pretty good. You close the office and go for a few beers to celebrate.
INDIAN CORPORATION You have two cows. You worship them.

NAZISM You have two cows. The State takes both and shoots you.
BUREAUCRATISM You have two cows. The State takes both, shoots one, milks the other, and then throws the milk away...
SURREALISM You have two giraffes. The government requires you to take harmonica lessons.

På tal om ismer så läste jag en mycket bra artikel idag om den döende kapitalismen, i alla fall i dess nuvarande form. Här om casinoekonomisterna:

"If the environment were healthy and the rest of us had plenty, who would care? These money-obsessed fanatics could be dismissed as immature, self-absorbed and self-indulgent degenerates. But the irrationality and injustice becomes intolerable when this rapacious greed implies that millions of others will not have their basic needs met and the environment will be destroyed."
