“The only possible appeal of that kind of (“centrist”) politics is that they are not Nazis, -right?” The appeal of “not being Nazis” is wearing thin when they are doing a genocide and ethnic cleansing, and while it goes on they repress peaceful resistance to that genocide.

@Agitate4Change I was late to the Bullshit Jobs party. He died too soon, absolutely articulated everything I believe.

The establishment present us with a choice between 1. A party that promotes neoliberalism & fails to deliver for working people. 2. A party that promotes neoliberalism & blames immigrants for its failure. Result the rich get richer & poor will continue to get poorer or killed

He caught himself by surprise and made himself laugh at the end. Very touching. 😊

I'm a militant liberal centrist. It's the realistic position that in order to fund welfare, you need a thriving market economy. Of course, that always involves difficult compromises. But that's reality rather than fantasy economic politics. I'm amazed you think liberal centrists are militant. I find many to be politically spineless.

What he says here is so relevant to today's presidential election outcome. I am so sorry David is no longer with us. He left too soon.🕯️

What people won't realise is that capitalism is fascism. Capitalism exploits. It kills. It divides. It diverts. All for a power elite. What else should define fascism?

What a legend David Graeber was! And how much we miss his analysis and perspective!
