Interesting article...but yet again, one in which the "left" (meaning,
anything opposed to american hegemony) is lumped into the framework of
Marxism...as if there's nothing more to the Left than that. the
anti-globalization protests were nor orchestrated or dominated by marxists.
it's great propaganda, though, to associate alternatives with something that
most americans have categorized as a failure. by constantly pushing the idea
that the Left = Marxism, it also makes the association that the Left =
Failure. yet the most creative thinking about alternative solutions to
various crises and situations comes out of the non-Marxist Left which is
mostly kept out of public discourse. further, by eliminating the possibility
of adaptive, as opposed to paradigmatically mechanistic, models for change,
the hegemony can ensure that no matter how detrimental its actions may be,
there is nothing that can be legitimately opposed to it in the public
population.
