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?
