August 26th, 2010 maru 25 comments

Political Spectrum Explained This clip explains the political spectrum. From 100% rule of a Fascist dictatorship to 0% like that of Anarchy and that which is in between. Anarchy, Oligarchy, Democracy, Monarchy, Republic. Note: Due to the highly insightful comments, it is reccommended to read through them to get a much better grasp of what this video lacks. Unfortunately, I’ve done my best to delete the “ZOMG LOLOLOL NUB NARRATUR” comments for better reading. If you find something someone said to be inaccurate, please reply! Also Thumbs down if you think what that person is saying is straight bologna. Anarchy has worked! Check this out: www.anarchosyndicalism.net

Takis Fotopoulos on Globalization and the End of Social Democracy

July 21st, 2010 maru No comments

This is a multi-part video interview with T. Fotopoulos, the founder of the Inclusive Democracy project, on the rise of the neoliberal phase of modernity (mid 70s – now) and the consequent emergence of neoliberal globalisation, which was established formally in UK with the rise of Thatcherism and in US with the rise of Reaganomics, although the systemic structural trends for it took off much earlier, with the opening of markets and the huge expansion of multinational corporations. Takis’ interview is set about many aspects of Systemic Violence, both indirect and direct, against the vast majority of people around the world and especially in Britain, which were established or expanded throughout the now-omnipresent neoliberal/social-liberal consensus: From the (never-ending) war on “terrorism” to the true nature of May ‘68 and from Community politics to Academic Repression, this is an important multi-part interview for every citizen who would like to know the history and nature of what the Reformist Left and the mass media call just “neoliberal politics”, in a simplistic, if not suspicious, way , disorienting people from the crucial fact that, as long as markets remain open and liberalised, governments of countries integrated into the system of the internationalised market economy will have to follow basically the same policies, either they are conservative, or “socialist”, green or fundamentalist.

April 27th, 2010 maru No comments

www.egs.edu Michael Hardt talking about love, politics, political philosophy, prison, research, empire, globalization, democracy, capitalism, domination, liberalism, liberation, struggle, activism, freedom, afghanistan, iraq, election, crisis, representation, constitution, Antonio Negri, and Baruch Spinoza. Public open lecture for the students and faculty of the European Graduate School EGS, Media and Communication Studies department program, Saas-Fee, Switzerland, Europe, 2005 Michael Hardt. Michael Hardt, born 1960 is an American literary theorist and political philosopher based at Duke University. He is the author of Gilles Deleuze: an Apprenticeship in Philosophy, and Labor of Dionysus: a Critique of the State-form, with Antonio Negri and Empire written with Antonio Negri. The sequel to Empire, called Multitude: War and Democracy in the Age of Empire, was released in August, 2004, and details the idea of the multitude (which Hardt and Negri initially elaborated in Empire) as the potential site of a global democratic movement. In the Fall of 2009, a new co-authored book titled Commonwealth will be published. Sometimes referred to as the “Communist Manifesto of the 21st Century”, Empire proposes that the forces of current class oppression, namely – corporate globalization and commodification of services (or “production of affects”) have the potential to fuel social change of unprecedented dimensions. Born in Washington DC, Hardt attended Winston Churchill High School in

Canadians Advocating Political Participation

March 6th, 2010 maru 25 comments

Canadians Advocating Political Participation (CAPP) is a nationwide grassroots organization dedicated to fostering increased participation of Canadians in our democratic processes. Forged out of the public reaction to the Prorogation of Parliament on December 30, 2009, our members come from all political parties and none, and from every walk of life. We represent the woven tapestry of Canadian society. Through Education and Active Engagement in democratic activities, local chapters of CAPP strive to return democratic power to Canadian citizens from coast to coast, in every region of the country. Through continual monitoring of our governments activities, we strive to maintain accountability to the people that our government is elected to represent. We believe the true power of a democracy lies in the responsibility of its citizens to be well informed and actively engaged. The right to vote comes with an equally important responsibility to engage in our democracy. CAPP has three primary goals: 1) To defend and restore Canadian democracy; 2) Educating Canadians on their political system; and 3) Encouraging greater political participation by all citizens. www.youtube.com A video we made for the re-launch of CAPP and the Not So Secret Democracy Mission. This video is a collaborative effort by Jessica Denyer, Kevin Konnyu, and Justin Arjoon. Soundtrack by Mike Tibensky.
