Received this, and this request from Abu Hartal:

Hi can you forward this to marxmail as I can't get my formatting right. Please comment on this short post if you find it interesting. Pretty interesting piece, and Greenhouse's book is excellent if you want to know about the unraveling of the Treaty of Detroit, withheld wages, unpaid overtime, misclassification of workers to prevent unionization, sexual harassment, the robbery of pensions, etc.. But the conclusion to this piece is that the internet and faith in the political system work against direct political action. On the the problem of faith, we are finding that the state is in fact held hostage by finance capital and must thus summon sacrifices on its behalf; that the state must allow bankruptcies, industry centralization and the resultant unemployment for the surviving capitals to reduce costs to restore profitability and therewith restore accumulation; and that the state is stumbling onto inflation as the means by which to reduce the real wage, raise anticipated profitability, and encourage investment. The illusions in the state will be shattered, but the problem of the internet will remain, no?
