Re: Euro Analysis? (none / 1)

Blind spot, or convenient myth to comfort the masses? All systems fail eventually. The issues are who gets swept overboard first and who is in the best position for a lifeboat seat. Those already drowned aren't competing for a seat. Neither are those singing hymns with the dance band or "in charge" of lowering the lifeboats from the stanchions.

Re: Euro Analysis? (4.00 / 3)

All systems fail eventually, because all living social systems evolve over time, and eventually they evolve into something unsustainable.

Starting out as something unsustainable is something else.

Indeed, the neoliberal fantasy is as much a comforting myth for the elites as a comforting myth for the masses, that what they are doing in a negative sum fight for the power of their individual corporation is somehow for the greater good.

I've been accused of being a Marxist, yet while Harpo's my favourite, it's Groucho I'm always quoting. Odd, that.
