Phi Beta Iota: Naomi Klein suffers from the same fragmentation of understanding that all activists suffer, but the emerging convergence of her concerns along with those of Richard Wolff, combined with the emerging possibilities for electoral reform and a holistic open source activist tool-kit, suggest that between now and 2020 predatory capitalism will be capped and authentic democracy will rise again.

American historian D.F. Fleming, writing of the post-World War II period in his eminent history of the Cold War, stated that “Greece was the first of the liberated states to be openly and forcibly compelled to accept the political system of the occupying Great Power.

The Not So Erratic Philosophy of Yanis Varoufakis

EXTRACT

Greece’s new finance minister, Yanis Varoufakis, has been mandated by the leftist Syriza government to negotiate new conditions with the “troika” (the European Commission, the European Central Bank, and the International Monetary Fund) for the continuation of Greece’s desperately needed bailout. He has just written a smashing op-ed for The New York Times that forcefully outlines his government’s approach to the negotiations. It deserves a standing ovation. Read full article.

I think this is fascinating. This report describes a change in the GMO trend. We have here millions of individual choices not in favor of Mansanto, but toward the life-affirming. Equally important we should note: all of this was accomplished even as Mansanto and other corporations poured multiple 10s of millions of dollars into controlling election outcomes and regulatory oversight.
