A semana segue pesada. Estamos afundando, o Brasil no ritmo do Ocidente. A Bolsa e meu bolso caem. Meu bolso cai 2,5% esta semana enquanto as commodities na Bolsa caem 26% de segunda a quinta, em quatro dias. Ah, a China! Ôlho na China que não cai! O Ocidente quer que ela caia, porque a ascensão dela significa a queda do Ocidente. Quem está caindo por lá esta semana são a construtora Evergrande, outras empresas bilionárias com pendores monopolistas ou idiossincráticos, e os cassinos de Macau. Acontece que o governo da China é um governo comunista, um governo para todos em busca da prosperidade geral e praticante do socialismo da abundância. O governo comunista da China não é o Poder Executivo da burguesia como são os governos ocidentais. As quedas da Evergrande, das empresas monopolistas e idiossincrática, e dos cassinos são certamente um grave problema para elas e seus clientes. Entretanto, vejam só: Hu Xijin, editor do Global Times, disse que “o Estado chinês não vai poupar o rato para salvar a louça”. Assim é que é bom, não é? Assim é que deve ser, não é?….

Of course, the world has seen other important events happening over these years, but we take only those that have ushered in qualitative changes in the world order”. A essa sequência de eventos assinalados por Lukyanov acrescentaríamos mais dois: a crise dos reféns USamericanos no Irã, que foi de novembro de 1979 a janeiro de 1981, e o ano de 1971, quando Nixon foi levado em agosto a desvincular o dólar do ouro em decorrência das dificuldades do país com a guerra no Vietnã.…

The populist uprisings of the Progressive Era, labor militancy of the 1930s and the sweeping social and cultural transformations of the 1960s and 1970s constitute [US]America’s second revolution. These movements sought to complete the unfinished work of the first revolution, enfranchising those the founders of the nation had condemned and thrust aside, Blacks, women, Native Americans and the poor. The second [US]American revolution, embodied in its final phase by Dr. Martin Luther King and the civil rights movement, spawned a series of powerful movements including the anti-war movement, the Black power movement, the women’s movement, the American Indian Movement, gay and lesbian movements, the United Farm Workers Union, the Weather Underground and a radical, alternative press embodied in publications such as Ramparts magazine. But the promises of these movements have been largely obliterated. The ruling elites mounted a sustained, often lawless and successful campaign to crush these expressions of popular yearning and popular discontent. Salon founder David Talbot and New Yorker writer Margaret Talbot look back at this moment in our history in their book By the Light of Burning Dreams: The Triumphs and Tragedies of the Second [US]American Revolution to ask what happened and what, finally, went wrong. The authors use portraits of radical activists, including Tom Hayden, Jane Fonda, Jerry Rubin, Bobby Seal, Huey Newton, Eldridge Cleaver, Heather Booth and the Women of Jane, Cesar Chavez, Dolores Huerta, Dennis Banks, Madonna Thunder Hawk, Russell Means, John Lennon and Yoko Ono as a lens to look at the inner workings and inherent flaws in the second [US]American revolution”….
