1
Yeah, I think one was, there was a idolizing of unfettered markets.
2
And much, if not most, of the intelligentsia were duped.
3
I recall traveling with my dear brother Michael Harrington talking with Brother Stanley Aronowitz years ago,
4
and, you know, here we're engaging critiques of unfettered markets, and it looked as if we were medieval thinkers.
5
Everybody was saying we're followers of Milton Friedman.
6
Everybody was saying Frederick Hayek got it right.
7
Everybody was saying marketize, commercialize, commodify.
8
And we were still reading Lukács, and Lukács was saying commodification is not simply an asymmetric relation of power,
9
of bosses vis -a -vis workers.
10
So workers are being more and more marginalized.
11
Profits are being produced, wealth is being produced, hemorrhaged at the top.
12
No fair distribution of that wealth or profit for workers.
13
Poor are being demonized because they are viewed as those persons who are irresponsible, who will not work, who are always looking for welfare,
14
i .e., failures in the society of success.
15
And we reached the brink and the chickens came home to roost.
16
And a few years ago the unfettered markets led us off and over the brink.
17
And all of a sudden very few intellectuals want to be honest and acknowledge the degree to which they were duped.
18
Don't want to talk about the inequality that went along with it.
19
Don't want to talk about the demonization of the poor that went along with it.
20
Don't want to talk about the politics of fear
21
that produced a republican party that was more
22
and more lily white using not just race but also demonizing gay brothers
23
and lesbian sisters you see don't want to talk about the indifference toward the poor
24
and greed being good and desirable and so forth now it's a very different moment
25
and it's not you know just about a pointing fingers but saying somebody's got to take responsibility for this.
26
This was a nearly 40 -year run.
27
Who paid the cost?
28
That's usually the case.
29
Poor working people paid the cost, disproportionately black and brown and red.
30
So in the age of Obama, we say, okay, can we have a different kind of discussion?
31
And that's what we're trying to do.
32
But of course, you've got two wars going on.
33
You've got still Wall Street in the driver's seat in the Obama administration when it comes to the economic team, you see?
34
And you've got very, you know, I think in some ways unimaginative thinking when it comes to foreign policy,
35
be it the Middle East or be it European Union or be it Latin America, you know, calling Chavez a dictator, the man's been elected.
36
If he's calling in the question of rights and liberties, criticize him as a Democratic president.
37
We did the same thing for Bush.
38
Bush was calling him the question rights and liberty.
39
We didn't call him a dictator.
40
We said he's a democratic elected president who's doing the wrong thing.
41
Chavez ought to be criticized.
42
He's not a dictator.
43
The man's been elected.
44
But it's that kind of demonizing that obscures and obfuscates the kinds of issues that are necessary because
45
Chavez is also talking about poor people.
46
Of course, I want libertarian and democratic sides.
47
I want rights and liberties and empowerment of poor people.
48
But talking about poor people is not a joke it's crucial it's part
49
and parcel of the future of any serious democratic project the
50
fundamental question of any democracy is what is the relation between public
51
and interests and the most vulnerable that's the question
52
that is the question the test of your rule of law
53
is going to be how are the most vulnerable being treated
54
it's not whether the torturers are getting off we know the
55
tortures don't have a rule of law applied to them the The wiretappers, they're getting off scot -free.
56
What about Jamal with the crack bag?
57
Taken to jail for seven years.
58
Oh, so you got a different rule of law when it comes to Jamal on the corner versus your
59
torturers and your wiretappers?
60
Torture is a crime against humanity, it's not just illegal, wiretapping is illegal.
61
Now it's not a crime against humanity, because I mean, I'm sure I've had my phone tapped for years.
62
I don't think they commit the crime against humanity, they just ought to quit doing it, I think to keep you in mind,
63
the demos is always heterogeneous, diverse, got a lot of xenophobic elements among the demos,
64
a lot of ignorance, a lot of parochialism, you also have a lot of cosmopolitanism, a lot of globalism, a lot of courage, moral courage.
65
So the demos is not one thing.
66
But when it comes to the ability of the demos to organize, mobilize, and bring power and pressure to bear.
67
we certainly are in a crisis our system is broken we've got 71 of people who want universal health care
68
and you can barely get through a reform bill with a
69
weak public option it's clear lobbyists from the top pharmaceutical companies
70
drug companies have tremendous influence much more than the demos from below you see
71
so that that those those preferences don't get translated easily
72
because our politicians are beholden to that big money and that big influence
73
but i mean the demos are still around thank god you got your own institution
74
dialogue dialogue is the lifeblood of a democracy we gotta allow
75
ideas to flow you have to expose people to different visions alternative arguments
76
and so on to try to keep the torch of the progressive demos alive
77
but it's very difficult to to organize it complacency is deep
78
apathy is deep uh people are wondering how can you confront you know big finance big
79
government tied to big finance when all you got is these little people
80
who are willing to talk and so forth
81
but have tremendous power bringing uh serious pressure to bear we
82
can march you know we marched against the war by the
83
millions we were ignored by the bush administration some of us
84
went to jail we were ignored we couldn't translate the foreign policy That happened sometimes.
85
It was different in Vietnam.

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
