Re: <nettime> The Left Needs a New Strategy

[John Young <jya@pipeline.com>]

Communo-Capitalism or Capita-Communism or simply Socialism of 
whatever stripe continues to produce wealth accumulators at the top, 
middle and indeterminate over the underpaid generators 
of  unstoppable greed, aided and abetted by the learned and 
facilitator class serving every economic level, serving meaning 
cutting a deal to plan, document, legalize, advise, apologize, 
intellectualize (spit) the exploitation. The self-serving notion that 
thinking, administering and publicizing output is a form of labor is 
most likely the main duplicity by which these shrewd perpetrators 
remain a protected and necessary invent-make-and-oil-the machinery of 
philo-socio-econo cohort.

Pardon hyphenation incoherency, it's a magic trick.

Need only to observe who cleans the toilets of NGOs to grasp the 
essence of disparity camouflaged by terms (brands, slogans) like 
left, right, precarity, capitalism, communisim, diversity, democracy, 
justice, advocacy.

Fortunately, comedy, parody, mimickry, clowning, pie-throwing remain 
handy barbering tools against hirsuit and bald verbosity. Duck.
