“I consider it presumption in anyone to pretend to decide what women are or are not, can or cannot be, by natural constitution. They have always hitherto been kept, as far as regards spontaneous development, in so unnatural a state, that their nature cannot but have been greatly distorted and disguised; and no one can safely pronounce that if women’s nature were left to choose...

Financial meltdown, environmental disaster and even the rise of Donald Trump – neoliberalism has played its part in them all. Why has the left failed to come up with an alternative?

Because the left has been overrun by enclaved entitled middle-class intellectuals, kind of like the communist party in England in the 20s.   I can't imagine the left doing anything real until someone of Trump's ilk getting into power and exposing the greater majority of people to his brand of facism.  (read my own blog re the 60's and now) - if the left, for example, ACTUALLY occupied Wall Street and shut it down rather than "sitting in a park near a Starbucks with EMS Camping Gear and our Apple products" passing for a confrontation...  -- sheesh--  when i took over a building with my friends, that's what we did--and we got results--at a cost at times, but results.

Precisely because the tyranny of opinion is such as to make eccentricity a reproach, it is desirable, in order to break through that tyranny, that people should be eccentric. Eccentricity has always abounded when and where strength of character has abounded; and the amount...

“Capitalistic enterprise involves a ruthless belief in the importance of increasing material production to the utmost possible extent now and in the immediate future. In obedience to this belief, new portions of the earth's surface are continually brought under the sway of industrialism. Vast tracts of Africa become recruiting grounds for the labor required in the gold and diamond mines of the Rand, Rhodesia, and...

“The tyranny of the employer, which at present robs the greater part of most men's lives of all liberty and all initiative, is unavoidable so long as the employer retains the right of dismissal with consequent loss of pay. This right is supposed to be essential in order that men may have an incentive to work thoroughly. But as men grow more civilized, incentives based...

With those unflattering comparisons running wild, Conan invited the Führer – played by Sarah Silverman – on Thursday's episode for some damage control.
