Richard de Boer: Internet for Democracy. Shut down the Euro Parliament. Now!:
NotWorking Youth declaimed:
[...]
So, instead of demanding immediate termination of intransparant institutions like the European Council of Ministers, the European Commission or one of its Directorates-Generale, some shady backdoor lobby or working group, the armchair anarcho-activists focus their anger on one of the very few democratic control mechanisms we have on a European level.
Interesting contrast #1. Representational democracy is declared dead for the umpteenth time while the European Parliament today demonstrated what it can mean for the internet by massively voting against the secretive anti-piracy treaty known as ACTA: http://bit.ly/9M1ABK
Interesting contrast #2: Some 2,500 people support the demand to shut down the EP, while some 1,266,000 people support the demand to shut down only the Strasbourg location of the EP: http://www.europafederalisterna.se/oneseat/
But then again, as oligarchs would say, who cares for majorities when representational democracy is dead anyway.
Cheers Richard

Michael H Goldhaber: A scenario for World War III:
Hi Keith,
With all due respect, though many of your premises make good sense, and one should never underestimate the stupidity of those in power (especially not today or in the near future, with the US govt basically adrift) I don't think your WWIII scenario ( to the limited extent it even is one) holds much water. It's true that financial manipulations could be considered war by other means, but that hardly implies they would turn to actual war. Neither China, Russia nor the US orEurope has the number of large families willing to surrender a substantial proportion of their children as cannon fodder, which was not the case a few generations ago. countries are far more interdependent now, and so anything approaching full-scale war between advanced countries including the BRIC ones seems pretty self-defeeating.
Of course, in away we are already in sort of World War, what with the ongoing Congo crisis, Sudan, Somailia the Iraq and Afghan wars, the still hot Islamic south of Russia, and the looming crisis over Iran. But these are wars fought substantially by proxy and in very poor places, for the most part. The dangers of either nuclear war or even full-scale conventional war between well-armed rivals are so obvious tht even the current crop of leaders are far toointellignet to risk any such adventure. After all, the whole reason for sabre rattling against Iran is that they may get nukes, but that does not mean that even India or Pakistan would be foolish enough to start a nuclear war against one another. the US has still more constraint on it, and will for sometime to come.So do Russia and China.
WWII did plenty to help lift the industrialized world out of the Depression, through rampant, and not so creative destruction. The equivalent no w though is hardly thinkable, even by a Hitler, should one arise. that leaves the question of how to increase worldwide aggregate demand, and I generally agree there is no simple answer, but China and India are certainly doing their best to find such a way, through rapidly expanding their own growth. I don't happen to think that will be enough, but that is partly because I think the new post-capitalist attention economy is growing much faster, and the future will be more in that direction. This will lessen the importance of states even further, and with that lessening, war will be even more useless. Terrorism is till a fair wart y to attract attention, but not to hold it, so I don't see that mode of warfare as having much future either. Cultures will compete in something more akin to a global version of American Idol.
But of course, even if that is all true, the cataclysm to fear still will be global warming,a bout which not much, it would appear will be done in time.
Best, Michael
