“The insane lie that cultural Marxists seem to have conned
themselves and others into believing is that their “activism” is somehow
anti-establishment. In fact, social justice is constantly coddled and supported
by the establishment. From politicians to judges to media pundits to the
blogosphere, the overwhelming majority of people in positions of traditional
power (even in supposedly conservative circles) have been more than happy to
become the enforcers of the social justice warrior agenda, an agenda
representing a minuscule portion of the public. There is no establishment for
the PC army to fight; the establishment BIAS works vastly more in
favor of their ideology than any other. Cultural Marxists ARE the
establishment.” .
We are going to see below his “un-biased
view” on gender issues & on Marxism
[ 1- Political correctness (PC)
no es una ciencia política, ni económica y menos un
paradigma ético. Quienes lo profesan se suponen a sí mismo como
“anti-funcionalistas” (el fin justifica los medios) y como anti-structuralistas
(el Estado y sus instituciones solo deben servir para garantizar libertades
individuales y la seguridad nacional si
una invasión extranjera ocurre). Estos asumen asimismo el “Estado minimo” o la
no interferencia del Federal, pero solo
de palabra. Esa ideología es exactamente lo que las mafias neoliberales
profesan públicamente pero que incumplen todos los días. Revisen zerohedge: verán
que todos los días los hijitos de la vaca holandesa le piden al FED que lance
el QE4 y que eleve la tasa de interés de los bancos. A esta ensalada “teoria”
le llaman “political-correctness”.
2- Desde mediados de los 80
(luego del éxito fascista de M Friedman y su escuela de Chicago en Chile y
luego de imponer el nefasto Washington Consensus a espaldas de la nación, lo
que dio libertad total a las mafias especuladoras iniciada con Reagan … hasta
hoy) en algunas Univ del USA se anunció el “Political Correctnesss” como curso
oficial para los under-graduates. Se buscaba justificar las sig tesis: (a) adaptación a la cultura dominante; (b)
goal attainment (los fines importan más que las acciones); (c) integración social, lo que supone prohibir
taras sexistas, racistas y otras que atenten contra las libertades del
individuo, sobre todo las minorias ; (d) mantención y respeto de los patrones
culturales; (e) Por supuesto piden el Estado mínimo y en esto se diferencian de los anarquistas
que piden su supresión total; estos aceptan el “minimo”, vale decir, lo aceptan
mientras sirva los intereses de las mafias neoliberales. Mejor servicio no se pudo haber hecho a la
naciente teología neo-liberal . Los hijos de esas escuelas en el USA aún mantienen esa ideología cavernaria, aunque de palabra la rechazan. En los hechos la
reproducen y se arrodillan al autoritarismo neoliberal.
Here Smith
critique to political correctness Topic: the existence
of gender chameleons
Notice
how Brandon Smith revealed his
“illustrated pluralism” on gender
Source: “The Twisted Motives Behind Political Correctness” . By Brandon Smith. Feb-19/14
One aspect of liberalism with which I am now very familiar is political
correctness. I didn’t understand it at the time,.. Then, it hit me
like a revelation. Political correctness was not a political ideology. No, it
was a religion, a full-fledged spiritual con.. And the leftists were eating it
up like steak night at an all-you-can-eat buffet. .. These people were rationally retarded.
Recently, I read a news story about a “transgendered teen” in Maine.
When the boy was in the fifth grade, he decided to dress as a girl and demanded
to use the girl’s bathroom at his public school, despite having the biological
apparatus of a male. This story was international news, folks! Why? I can’t
say, except that the mainstream media have made a point to focus on “gender optional” issues as if they represent some
kind of civil rights uprising
The PC culture demands that we, as individuals, openly accept the
sexual orientations of anyone and everyone; otherwise, we are labeled prejudiced
monsters. It is not enough that we object in a logical manner. No, we must fall
to our knees and thank the stars for the very existence of gender chameleons.
In the end, the psychological gender position of any particular person
does not overrule his biological features. A
child with a penis is a boy. Period. He will never be a girl. Ever. Not without
surgical aid. And even then, he will never have the ability to give birth,
which is the very hallmark of femininity. (Sorry, feminists, but that’s how it
goes.) A boy, no matter his mental orientation, does not belong in a
girl’s lavatory. The privacy rights
of the girls outweigh the gender confusion of the boy.
3- En cuanto al marxismo. Estos
trabajan en paralelo la categoría “libertad” y su opuesto “necesidad”.
Necesidad es lo que necesariamente ocurre por leyes bio-físicas o naturales
(leyes que refieren la relación entre el hombre y la naturaleza). E incluye también
las leyes psico-sociales (las que derivan de la relación del hombre con otros
hombres). A lo que ocurre por necesidad los marxistas le llaman también “determinismos”. Y los hay de dos clases, los absolutos
y los relativos (o sociales). Lo relativo no es factor determinante sino solo factor
condicionante, según Althusser. La crítica al
determinismo es que releva al hombre de toda responsabilidad social y hace
imposible valorar moralmente sus acciones. Para los libertarios, solo la
libertad no sujeta a determinismos ni condición alguna se presenta como base de
responsabilidad social y ética. La libertad es entendida como auto-determinación
del espíritu (libre albedrio) o posibilidad de actuar según lo mande la
voluntad no determinada por factores externos. Para los marxistas no mecanicistas (estos
últimos son los que aplican a rajatabla los principios físico-biologicos a la
conducta humana) si hay interdependencia dialéctica entre necesidad y libertad.
La necesidad objetiva (existencia de leyes) es lo
primario, su conocimiento, voluntad y
conciencia, lo derivado.
La leyes no conocidas se manifiesta como
“necesidad ciega”. Fue así
a inicios de la historia humana. El hombre fue incapaz de penetrar los secretos
de la naturaleza y de sí mismo, era esclavo de leyes objetivas realmente
existentes. Cuando avanzo de conocimiento y sus técnicas, el hombre empezó a
ser más consiente y libre de su quehacer humano. Por esto Spinoza definió la libertad
como necesidad de la que se ha tomado conciencia. Pierre Bourdieu decia que la libertad
del hombre no solo es limitada por
estructuras económicas y políticas, también hay estructuras
ideologico-culturales que impiden ver con claridad lo objetivo, lo realmente
existente fuera de nuestra conciencia. Hay por tanto no solo fuerzas naturales
sino también sociales que impiden su libertad y estas, las sociales si pueden
ser cambiadas cuando se conoce su estructura y sus leyes. Ocurrió así con las
leyes del capitalismo anárquico que la conciencia y voluntad social destruyeron
–via REV- varias veces para instalar el
socialismo en su reemplazo. Ocurrió en Rusia, China .. esas sociedades que saltaron
de la miseria infernal en que vivian hacia el status de potencia
tecnológica que el mundo admira. Se
produjo así el salto del reino de la necesidad al reino de la libertad, como
indicaba Engels. La socialización de las fuerzas y medios de producción hizo
posible ese salto al eliminar la base del explosivo antagonismo social del
sistema anterior: la extrema desigualdad social, la sobre-explotacion del
labor, el fraude y el saqueo de recursos extranjeros.
Si Brandon Smith por lo menos hubiese leído los “Manuscritos Economico-Filosoficos” de Marx, la
mas fácil de sus lecturas, o el artículo de L Trotsky “Su Moral y la Nuestra” que todos los neófitos en
marxismo han leído.. este Sr estaría en capacidad de hablar sobre el tema
marxismo… y NO diría la estupidez de que Marx invento las “clases sociales”
para dividir a la gente… ni que el marxismo daño los matrimonios de America..
ni que es el establishment marxista es lo que hay que derrotar… Esas palabras
huecas no tienen ningún sentido. Al parecer las copio de algún discurso de
neocon Trump. Esto es, Smith tomo muy en
serio su vaguedad sobre “establisment” (relación entre Estado y sus Instituciones)
y no fue en absoluto nada serio en lo referido a clases sociales, Libertad ni
gender ].
Leamos la sandez que dijo sobre marxism:
“PC busybodies and feminists tend to create artificial divisions
between people and “classes” while attacking and homogenizing very real and
natural divisions between individuals based on biological reality and inherent
genetic and psychological ability. This is what
cultural Marxists do: divide and conquer or homogenize and conquer,
whatever the situation happens to call for.”
First, let’s be clear, cultural Marxism has
already done most of the damage it can possibly do to our way of life. And by
damage, I mean the end of long-standing foundational pillars of society that
provide stability and prosperity, including traditional marriage (not
government-licensed marriage), family, gender “roles,” etc. (which cultural
Marxists openly boast about tearing down).
[What damage? ]
Therefore, cultural Marxism and its vicious
attempts to forcefully “harmonize” wealth through taxation and welfare have
indeed caused the very economic conditions by which marriage is made
untenable and families are made unstable.
Finally, the erasure of free speech and thought is always the holy
grail of cultural Marxists; but this is not always done through government
power — at least not right away. Cultural Marxists
do use government force to police what they consider thought crimes, but
usually in an incremental manner.

culture, not the Marxist one..]

Reality is only what a politician does in
office, not about mere rhetoric. Even when rhetoric is great, such as
it was with Abraham Lincoln, it has relied upon honesty in order to be able to
be so. Lying rhetoric tends simply to be forgotten by historians.
It shouldn’t be, even if this requires us to remember some very bad rhetoric.
Lies can be very important, no matter how bad the rhetoric might happen to be.
History should deal with what’s important. So should voters.

Experience # 1
The European Union financial
transaction tax. The EU financial transaction tax (EU FTT) is a
proposal made by the European Commission in September 2011 to
introduce a financial transaction tax within the 27 member states of theEuropean
Union by 2014. The tax would only impact financial transactions between financial institutions charging 0.1%
against the exchange of shares and bonds and
0.01% acrossderivative contracts. According to the European
Commission it could raise €57 billion every year.
----
Experience # 2
A-Wrobel's paper highlighted the Swedish experience with
financial transaction taxes.[44] In
January 1984, Sweden introduced a 0.5% tax on the purchase or sale of an equity
security. Thus a round trip (purchase and sale) transaction resulted in a 1%
tax. In July 1986 the rate was doubled. In January 1989, a considerably lower
tax of 0.002% on fixed-income securities was introduced for a security with a
maturity of 90 days or less. On a bond with a maturity of five years or more,
the tax was 0.003%.
B- Tobin tax proponents reaction to the Swedish
experience[edit]
The Swedish experience of a transaction tax was with purchase
or sale of equity securities, fixed income securities and derivatives. In
global international currency trading, however, the situation could, some
argue, look quite different. In 2000, Round argued as follows:[The Tobin tax]
could boost world trade by helping to stabilize exchange rates. Wildly
fluctuating rates play havoc with businesses dependent on foreign exchange as
prices and profits move up and down, depending on the relative value of the
currencies being used. When importers and exporters can’t be certain from one
day to the next what their money is worth, economic planning – including job
creation – goes out the window. Reduced exchange-rate volatility means that
businesses would need to spend less money ‘hedging’ (buying currencies in
anticipation of future price changes), thus freeing up capital for investment
in new production.
----
Experience #3
United Kingdom experience with stock transaction tax
(Stamp Duty)[edit]
See also: Stamp Duty Reserve Tax
An existing example of a Financial Transaction Tax (FTT)
is Stamp Duty Reserve Tax (SDRT) and stamp duty.[90] Stamp
duty was introduced as an ad valorem tax
on share purchases in 1808,[91] preceding
by over 150 years the Tobin tax on currency transactions. Changes were made in
1963.[92] In
1963 the rate of the UK Stamp Duty was 2%, subsequently fluctuating between 1%
and 2%, until a process of its gradual reduction started in 1984, when the rate
was halved, first from 2% to 1%, and then once again in 1986 from 1% to the
current level of 0.5%.[92]
The changes in Stamp Duty rates in 1974, 1984, and 1986
provided researchers with "natural experiments", allowing them to
measure the impact of transaction taxes on market volume, volatility, returns,
and valuations of UK companies listed on the London Stock Exchange.
----
Experience #4
Multinational proposals
European idea for a 'first Euro tax'
On November 23, 2009, the President of the European Council, Herman
Van Rompuy, after attending a meeting of the Bilderberg
Groupargued for a European version of the Tobin tax.[105][106] This
tax would go beyond just financial transactions: "all shopping and petrol
would be taxed.".[105] Countering
him was his sister, Christine Van Rompuy, who said, "any new
taxes would directly affect the poor".[107]
On June 29, 2011, the European Commission called for
Tobin-style taxes on the EU's financial sector to generate direct revenue
starting from 2014. At the same time it suggested to reduce existing levies
coming from the 27 member states.[108]
Support in some G20 nations[edit]
The first nation in the G20 group to
formally accept the Tobin tax was Canada. For supporters of a Tobin tax, there
is a wide range of opinion on who should administer a global Tobin tax and what
the revenue should be used for. There are some who think that it should take
the form of an insurance: In early November 2009, at the G20 finance ministers
summit in Scotland, the British Prime Minister "Mr.
Brown and Nicolas Sarkozy, France’s president, suggested that
revenues from the Tobin tax could be devoted to the world’s fight against
climate change, especially in developing countries. They suggested that funding
could come from “a global financial transactions tax." However British
officials later argued the main point of a financial transactions tax would be
provide insurance for the global taxpayer against a future banking crisis
Latin America - Bank of the South[edit]
In early November 2007, a regional Tobin tax was adopted by
the Bank of the South, after an initiative of
Presidents Hugo Chávez fromVenezuela and Néstor Kirchner from Argentina.[115]

TOBIN OR NOT TOBIN?
Nov 4th 2011, 14:17 BY BUTTONWOOD
Here might be an argument for a global tax on financial
transactions. Yes, such a tax would be passed through to clients but that is
true of taxes on sales, corporate profits and all the rest. We have to tax
something. But a tax at the European level alone? Let us take a simple example
that was pointed out to me yesterday. London is the global centre for foreign
exchange trading. This trading is conducted electronically at very low cost;
ICAP, the broker, says the cost averages $2 for every $1m traded. A Tobin tax
of just 0.01% might not sound much but would equate to $100 for the same trade,
50 times as much. Why would anyone want to pay it? Such trades would be routed
to New York or Singapore in an instant.

QUESTION 2. Do you support an
increase in payroll tax for all Americans to fund Bernie’s minimum wage and
healthcare plans? Do you believe Bernie’s plans will only tax the 1%?
..
ANSWER: YES the 1% received most of the benefits from this neoliberal system, if the really consider themselves Americans, they should not discuss nor oppose this Tax. But I would include the 10% to make it more effective.

QUESTION 3. Do you support
Bernie’s comments on Edward Snowden?
ANSWER: The
American Law was broken by NSA and those who implemented the surveillance
programs. Snowden has the Constitutional right to oppose such program: Nobody
owes obedience to State apparatus that violates the Constitution. Once the Fed releases from prison to Chelsea
Manning, Barrett Brown, Jeffrey Sterling, and John Kiriakou, then Snowden can
trust the US and ask for their independent trial in American Courts. He should not
beg nor implore his freedom, he should defend his right to do that he did up to
the last minute of his life. His life does not belong to them. His life belongs to
all of us and he will continue be our Hero not matter what. Si hay que morir por una causa justa..
que jamas sea de rodillas!

----
QUESTION 4. Do you support
Bernie’s stance on Israel and Saudi Arabia? Both of these nations are
responsible for atrocious human rights violations (here and here). Saudi Arabia is
also accused of funding the 9/11
attacks. Despite this, the majority of
politicians — including Bernie — continue to support these nations.
ANSWER. Sanders is a Human being and all humans make
errors. This is an error and he can corrected. Compared to the criminal errors
of those in the opposition, not with words with actions, Berne errors are ease
to be corrected. (Bush & Clinton
aristocrats are genocides. Clinton was responsible for incinerating civilian
population in Kosovo, & destroying an entire State-Nation of Yugoslavia to
cover up his desecration of the White House. Bush genocides in Iraq &
Afghanistan arfe not only crimes of war, they are crimes against humanity.
Worse even when he converted the young people in mercenaries to later on
terrorize the world). Israel is a terrorist State & soon or later Netanyahu
will be put in court for his crimes on Palestinians and the illegal
appropriation of their land. Sanders should make a statement correcting those
words. QT to you? Did you make the same question to
Hillary or the GOP candidates? .. Why only to Sanders?
====
----
QUESTION 5. Do you support
Bernie’s plan [sic] to continue the drone program? According to documents released by a new whistleblower, during one
five-month period of drone operations, nearly 90 percent of the people killed
in airstrikes were not the intended targets.
ANSWER: this question is either naively deceptive or intentionally
oriented to damage his political image. It is implied here that Bernie Sanders run
the drone project or is part of the team implementing the Obama’s drone program.
What is the evidence that this is true?… There is not conclusive evidence in
your premise ..I guess you are not Bernie follower .. you are an infiltrator .. a simply a rat..
and you could be indicted for using AD
HOMINEN type of argument, “affirming the consequent” by departing from wrong
premise (all birds fly.. chikens are birds..) with the intention to destroy his
reputation..
