Global problems in an American
domestic context by tebatt@chello.nl Dumping in Dixie: Race, Class, and Environmental Quality: http://www.ciesin.org/docs/010-278/010-278chpt2.html One wonders what might have happened if the aristocratic/agrarian South had won the war against the Bourgeois/Industrialized North (or if Lincoln had not been assassinated and the carpetbaggers hadn't taken over). Come to think of it -there are probably many similarities between the post-civil war South and post-Communist Europe. It seems that in both cases there was a kind of "economic rape" by unscrupulous opportunists. I still suspect that the collapse of communism was not the victory for global capitalism as most people assume. In fact, it may have signaled the demise of centrally run dogmatic systems - which might also include the US, if it continues to try and dominate the world in such old-fashioned imperialistic ways. I have read that the South were better fighters -but the North had the better-organized army. So perhaps in some ways it was a victory of "organization" over "individuality". Maybe the "electronic media" have changed the world -and "individualism" is now becoming more important that industrialized organization. Personally, I suspect that in a world of electronic slaves there is no need for the continued economic exploitation of humans - and perhaps a more "aristocratic" approach is required. The "worker's revolution" seems to have failed -the "bourgeois revolution" seems to be failing -so perhaps it's time for a radical rethink (beyond the Heritage Foundation approach). |
