| Re: <nettime> Was cultural Marxism the leading force behind the new world order |
Ayn Rand devotees arguing that “Cultural Marxists” have a skewed view of the world… LOL If The Foundation for Economic Education (FEE) wasn’t part of a very real and influential network of Koch-funded think tanks, they would almost be funny. So would Meuller's book (*of course* he’s a German economist based in Brazil!), titled "Beyond the State and Politics. Capitalism for the New Millennium” (hey, it’s FREE--as in beer--as a Kindle unlimited book!). In the promotional copy: "When the functions of government are privatized, the financial burden of taxes and contributions falls from the shoulders of the population.” I guess the invisible hand of the market is better with a gun. Ah, that’s why they love the acronym FEE so much! Octavia Butler imagined this world "without a state” too. Wonder why her vision of such a world doesn't sound like theirs? https://fee.org/about/board-of-trustees Ryan Message: 1 > Date: Fri, 16 Nov 2018 12:58:45 +0100 > From: ?rsan ?enalp <[email protected]> > To: Nettime <[email protected]> > Subject: <nettime> Was cultural Marxism the leading force behind the > new world order > Message-ID: > <CABcnBF7sU4DCwJtNUdFRG+rbexeiBFXqqxp=wU-k6jHMDAKJKQ@mail.gmail.com> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" > > Dear list members, > > I really wonder what would you make of this article by Antony Meuller of > Mises Institute?
