Israel’s bombing of Syria and US-backed reconstruction deals are being sold as humanitarian efforts. In reality, they are part of a calculated campaign to fracture Syria, fuel sectarianism, and preserve Western dominance in the region.

Although somewhat critical of its reductive elements, Foucault found certain attractive features in the ideal or programmatic form imagined by American neoliberalism, namely, that it envisages a kind of regulation outside sovereign, disciplinary, and biopolitical forms, that it regulates without the fabrication of subjectivities and in a manner that optimizes difference and tolerates minority groups […]

The great problem with running anything is people. People, from the point of view of those in charge, are the entire problem with running any organization larger than “just me”, from a corner store to a country.

Once upon a time, success for a company like UnionBustingToxicDeathFactory Inc. was merely turning a profit.
But these days, people want companies that care about more.
