This is fascinating - she speaks here as a protester against violent corporatism and begins to touch on some of the historical stories she tells.

Bottom line: corporations want you to think that they have come to power with the accolades and acceptance of the populace. The truth is they have done it with torture, murder, suppression, and terror.

1. we are going to need her voice more than ever as the US politics is dominated by neo-liberals

guiliani and clinton being prime examples of neo-liberal enforcers of corporate power.

3. Learned a new concept today, neo-liberalism.

It is so different than what social liberals believe, hard to believe they share a common word. Turns out it is most of the policies I didn't like about Clinton (except the surplus budget one).

4. Right - it implies that very rich people are free "liberated" to

exploit the crap out of the untermenschen.

Liberty pour moi but not for thee, you might say.
