Contradictions within American Capitalism PDF Drucken E-Mail

The United States of America are the leading nation of the world. The model of functioning capitalism. But nowadays there are many problems which affect the American people to a degree as never before. So the president calls for regulations which are in direct contradiction with the structure and program of American free enterprise, free profit for the money makers.

 

He blames the high degree of outsourcing of American companies because it has destroyed and does destroy the strength of the American work force, the working class. He calls for medicare and health care services. This is opposed heavyly by the "real" Americans, those who are better off. Only with the war doctrine President Obama goes along with the old US-line: the Pentagon and its war industries are the back bone of the hegemonic superpower. This isn't touched! War remains big business. Obama sides with this view and practice. It's the regime of the racketeers.

  

Only then will be there a change when broader masses of the American people suffer deeply and will be able and alerted enough to distinguish betweeen the myth, the propaganda and their reality. As long as a majority sees ways of fulfillments of their "American Dream", they will follow as fellow travelers.

The Joke is on the Rest of Us
Have the Super-Rich Seceded from the United States?
by MIKE LOFGREN, COUNTERPUNCH, January 05, 2012
It was in 1993, during congressional deliberation over the North American Free Trade Agreement. I was having lunch with a staffer for one of the rare Republican members of Congress who opposed the policy of so-called free trade. I distinctly remember something my colleague said: “The rich elites of this country have far more in common with their counterparts in London, Paris, and Tokyo than with their own fellow American citizens.”


Here He Comes Again! CounterPunch Diary
by ALEXANDER COCKBURN, COUNTERPUNCH, Weekend Edition January 20-22, 2012
Newt Gingrich is a one-man, made-in-America melting pot. Here’s a committed devotee of tooth-and-claw capitalism, vultures perched on both shoulders, advocate of 8-year old black children working as janitors – campaigning with a pro-worker film of which John Reed or Ken Loach would be proud, paid for by a rabidly anti-union billionaire who thinks Israel should bomb Iran and drive the Palestinians into the sea.


War on Iran: It’s Not A Matter of “If” - CounterPunch Diary
by ALEXANDER COCKBURN, COUNTERPUNCH, Weekend Edition January 13-15, 2012

The world’s press is choc-a-bloc with “if” questions about Iran and war. Will Israel attack? Is Obama, coerced by domestic politics  in an election year, being dragged into war by the Israel lobby? Will he lunch the bombers?  Is the strategy to force Iran into a corner, methodically demolishing its economy by embargoes and sanctions so that in the end a desperate Iran strikes back.

One Against the Empire - America’s Last Chance
by PAUL CRAIG ROBERTS, COUNTERPUNCH, January 16, 2012

America has one last chance, and it is a very slim one. Americans can elect Ron Paul President, or they can descend into tyranny.


When Power is Unaccountable
Why the NDAA is Unconstitutional
by BRIAN J. TRAUTMAN, COUNTERPUNCH, January 18, 2012
Each year, Congress authorizes the budget of the Department of Defense through a National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). The NDAA of 2012, however, is unlike any previous ones.
