Oh these modern age Marxist intellectuals. Railing against the corporate system...it is so much handier to rail against corporatism than to criticize capitalism (when the two are sybiotically related). This way Klein and her ilk make themselves more socially acceptable. The truth is the fairy tale worlds of Marx, Lenin, Guevara, Castro and Mao don't exist and never have. Even Hugo Chavez is using the power of the petro dollar to maintain his grip on totalitarian power.
Why doesn't Klein write about that and leave the best societies the world has ever produced alone...these societies? The U.S., Canada, Great Britain, modern Europe...what do they all have in common? Despite blips like Hitler and Bush and Thatcher and even Mike Harris who from one horrible extreme (Hitler) to a misguided idealogue (Harris/Bush), these societies have been able to correct themselves for the greater good? Are they perfect? No. Are they better than anything that history has had to offer as alternatives? Absolutely. Klein, thy name is ingrate!!!
