[Peace-discuss] Naked Capitalism on election

[Estabrook, Carl G via Peace-discuss]

The lines quoted from Yves Smith (Naked Capitalist) seem to me to have it right. --CGE

The pre-election season was rightly described as, "Those months we get to spend hearing about why we need to vote for Democrats, because otherwise Republicans will implement the policies of the Democratic Party."

"The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum - even encourage the more critical and dissident views. That gives people the sense that there's free thinking going on, while all the time the presuppositions of the system are being reinforced by the limits put on the range of the debate." [Chomsky]
