Marxism is a success because it fuses the two inconsistent strains in Western thought - moral skepticism and moral indignation - and makes them complements in the attack against existing society.
I have come to the conclusion that the West is a vast lie machine for the secret agendas of vested interests.
Whether one has a favorable or unfavorable opinion of unions, their demise is also the demise of countervailing power. A system in which there is no countervailing power is a tyranny in which power is unconstrained and unaccountable.
Governments unaccountable to law are tyrannies, whatever they might call themselves, no matter how exceptional and indispensable they declare themselves to be.
In the U.S., society and the environment have to pick up the tab produced by capitalist activity.
A government that cannot survive truth and must resort to stamping out truth is not a government that any country wants.
