I never in a million years thought I'd be listening seriously to Russell Brand. But here you go! A fascinating and insightful article. A few quotes before the link: ?"If we don't want our young people to tear apart our communities then don't let people in power tear apart the values that hold our communities together." ?"Why am I surprised that these young people behave destructively, "mindlessly", motivated only by self-interest? How should we describe the actions of the city bankers who brought our economy to its knees in 2010? Altruistic? Mindful? Kind? But then again, they do wear suits, so they deserve to be bailed out, perhaps that's why not one of them has been imprisoned. And they got away with a lot more than a few fucking pairs of trainers." "Politicians don't represent the interests of people who don't vote. They barely care about the people who do vote. They look after the corporations who get them elected." http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2011/aug/11/london-riots-davidcameron Eli Stephens Left I on the News http://lefti.blogspot.com ________________________________________________ Send list submissions to: Marxism@greenhouse.economics.utah.edu Set your options at: http://greenhouse.economics.utah.edu/mailman/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
