quote:

if democracy is supposed to give voters some control over their own conditions, for instance, should a US election not involve most people on earth? What would American political discourse look like, if it had to satisfy voters in Iraq or Afghanistan?

This is maybe the second or third time I've heard this sentiment expressed - that if America is going to occupy Afghanistan forever, then perhaps Afghans should have a voice in the American political process. It's almost always in the context of wishful thinking, but it does highlight how much of a joke the current system is.

I can fix this.

First knock down all the walls, the whole floor is moving to a single open plan design with workstations in adjoining pods.

Then all the phones will be speakerphone only, max volume.

Lastly if you wish to talk to anyone on the floor you must speak through the megaphone on your desk.

That article sure is some liberal poo poo. I stopped reading around the part where like, hey, maybe empires weren't democratic but at least they looked out for their subjects maaaan.

As long as there is imperialism there will be nation-states demarcated by borders, because imperialism is the enforced supremacy of "rich" countries over "poor" countries.

Political corruption in the West is not being inflicted by trans-national forces, but by four decades of deliberate policy.

Capital flight from the USA is not going to happen. Yes, a fat American can use the internet to send dick picks to underage girls in Thailand. Hooray for global communication. America is still the seat of empire though, and they're not going to rule it by remote. Neither Europe nor China are credible alternatives on that front just yet. Also the super-rich kind of want to build their palaces in America instead of Angola. They'll piss and moan about the government confiscating a big chunk of their assets but they'll suck it up because they do not in fact have anywhere else to go.

I think liberals are just genuinely starting to believe their own bullshit about how anti-worker phenomena like constant financial crises, tax havens, offshoring, private equity plundering, pension looting, and climate change are all natural and irresistible forces, like the weather, with mere national governments being powerless to stop them. As opposed to these things all being consequences of a deliberate policy of wealth transfer.

you're partly right, but partly wrong. that 'deliberate policy' that transnational capital/allowed tax evasion was created by capital gaining a decisive advantage in the class war, through globalization. out-sourcing was used to weaken labor, which translated into a weaker political opposition to the interests of capital, which allowed more capital-friendly policies to pass through.

the part of the article that is trash, is that it presents the growing authoritarian trend as a backlash against internationalization in the abstract, rather than people trying to obtain guarantees of material security, in a global market, where wealth and position is precarious, and the threat of a foreign country dumping products is ever present.

Yeah that sums it up pretty well

I tend to describe neoliberalism as "trying to solve every problem in existence by shuffling money around between various rich people while looking down your nose at anyone who tries to do anything else ever" but that politics-as-a-skill thing is pretty fuckin' apt
