proletarian_pixie posted:The radical left can sometimes exaggerate by equating 3 (Clintonian 'neoliberalism') with (2) or even (1). Furthermore, I'd argue that the left sometimes fails to distinguish sufficiently between the policies of Bill Clinton (who ran on a classic 'Third Way' neoliberal platform and then implemented it) and Hillary Clinton (who is currently presenting herself as actually closer to an old-school "tax and spend liberal", no doubt partly thanks to Bernie Sanders). Nevertheless, there is at some connection between all of these usages. I'm always quick to acknowledge Hillary's policies are way better than her sonofabitch husband's were.

Anarchism is inevitable. Read your Kropotkin, Bookchin, Goldman, and Bakunin now to avoid being socially isolated by the collective.

Are we supposed to jokingly not answer op's question? I'm still new to this. Neoliberalism is the sort of liberalism you're seeing in the post-Clinton years, but it's specifically used by folks who are trying to distance today's liberals from the social liberal/fiscal "conservatives" (then liberals) of the early 1900s.

Neoliberalism is that thing where you want to bomb brown folk and starve poor folk, but you don't think it should matter if the poor folk that are starving are black or white, gay or straight. The brown folk that get bombed definitely have to be brown tho.

realism is the old idea that generally states will pursue their own interests, and generally know what those interests are. neither is true, but it's a passable first approximation for policy. neorealism is a modern attempt to formalise and abstract this notion which doesn't really work at all, but feels sciencey so has hegemony in american journals. the main function of realism in us foreign policy discourse is to be a thing people claim to be to feel good about themselves while peddling khornate navel-gazing. source: old convos with an IR friend, reading a book once

Commerz posted:What is constructivism states construct a vision of the world around them and their place in it which informs their actions so china's self-image as temporarily embarassed superpower led it to overreach and have a coalition form against it america views itself as the hero of history and unironically uses the term 'leader of the free world', so it interprets opposition as inherently illegitimate, so you get americans genuinely confused about why e.g. iran is so suspicious and hostile to the us and asking why they are 'insane', and popularity of notions like 'responsibility to protect' russia was much more suspicious of nato during the post-cold-war expansion and recent ukraine conflict than nato anticipated, so nato was caught off guard (see above) by how strongly they responded it's less silly than realism but kind of useless to get solid predictions out of except on a super case-by-case basis requiring a ton of specific knowledge. but imo there's no reason to think state behaviour is going to be more predictable than that anyway, it's questionable whether 'the state' is even the best analytical unit source: same as before

Peel posted:Good info My lecturer said that pretty much everyone is in the constructivist camp in Australia and it does seem the most reasonable. Unfortunately he also said that every single Chinese person hes asked in his many visits to China has been of the opinion that the nine-dashed line is totally legitimate. China emerging as a competing hegemonic power to the United States is going to suck for the world. The ASEAN states are a loving mess right now and cannot deal with it at all. Middle powers don't look like they'll be that effective either. I can't wait till a U.S. military base gets built in my city because they want more presence in the pacific!! My understanding was a lot of U.S. policy makers are realists and also don't give a gently caress about what anyone else in the world thinks/never cites them.

In the gloom of mighty cities Mid the roar of whirling wheels, We are toiling on like chattel slaves of old, And our masters hope to keep us Ever thus beneath their heels, And to coin our very life blood into gold. But we have a glowing dream Of how fair the world will seem When each man can live his life secure and free. When the earth is owned by Labor And there's joy and peace for all In the commonwealth of Toil that is to be. But we have a glowing dream Of how fair the world will seem When each man can live his life secure and free. When the earth is owned by Labor And there's joy and peace for all In the commonwealth of Toil that is to be. They would keep us cowed and beaten Cringing meekly at their feet. They would stand between each worker and his bread. Shall we yield our lives up to them For the bitter crust we eat? Shall we only hope for heaven when we're dead? But we have a glowing dream Of how fair the world will seem When each man can live his life secure and free. When the earth is owned by Labor And there's joy and peace for all In the commonwealth of Toil that is to be. They have laid our lives out for us To the utter end of time. Shall we stagger on beneath their heavy load? Shall we let them live forever In their gilded halls of crime With our children doomed to toil beneath their goad? But we have a glowing dream Of how fair the world will seem When each man can live his life secure and free. When the earth is owned by Labor And there's joy and peace for all In the commonwealth of Toil that is to be. When our cause is all triumphant And we claim our Mother Earth, And the nightmare of the present fades away. We shall live with Love and Laughter, We, who now are little worth, And we'll not regret the price we have to pay
