That from Greg describes the role and function of the "national" bourgeoisie-- primitive accumulation- dispossession of the small producers, of the subsistence producer-- from the land, from the land as an instrument of production, in order to convert it into an instrument of value-- on behalf of the international bourgeoisie. And because imperialism is what it is, uneven and combined development where the most advanced capitalism manifests in fully developed form all the inabilities, weaknesses, incapacities of underdevelopment, no longer can the dispossessed flood the cities and find employment as workers, yielding up value from their labor power. They can flood the cities all right, to live on the margins, to search through garbage dumps for a "means of subsistence"-- to be dispossessed of everything without even their labor power having a value in exchange. A mass at the margins, that's the promise of advanced capitalism, a promise kept by the local bourgeoisie. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Greg McDonald" <gregm...@gmail.com> To: <sartes...@earthlink.net> Sent: Saturday, October 09, 2010 7:30 AM Subject: [Marxism] Ecuador: Small-Scale Miners Questioning Large-Scale Interests in Southern Amazon ====================================================================== Rule #1: YOU MUST clip all extraneous text when replying to a message. ====================================================================== Another example of Correa's heavy-handed tactics. Small wonder the CONAIE sees him as dictatorial. Not only does he send in the military at the drop of a hat, he insults local indigenous leaders and tries them on trumped up charges of terrorism. The guy's a fucking douche bag. If I were a member of CONAIE I would be among those calling for a national uprising to run the SOB out of the country. Maybe he could go back to Illinois, or be a mule for the narcos like his dad was. http://upsidedownworld.org/main/ecuador-archives-49/2703-ecuador-small-scale-miners-questioning-large-scale-interests-in-southern-amazon- Ecuador: Small-Scale Miners Questioning Large-Scale Interests in Southern Amazon Written by Jennifer Moore Wednesday, 22 September 2010 15:38 Only days after small-scale and artisanal miners pronounced themselves in favor of land use planning and against large scale mining in Ecuador's southern Amazon, a heavy deployment of police and military was ordered to evict a group of these miners for alleged environmental damages. Approximately 1,500 police and military officers took part in the September 15 operation, or roughly one officer for every resident of the small county of Paquisha in the province of Zamora Chinchipe, where confrontations took place. ________________________________________________ Send list submissions to: Marxism@lists.econ.utah.edu Set your options at: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
