Doug tells the truth or equal retort

[ALI KADRI <akadri_00@xxxxxxxxx>]

"And Afghanistan, their current home, is
almost entirely outside the circuits of global trade
and capital
flows--an exclusion that contributes greatly to its
extreme poverty
and social disintegration. (As the economist Joan
Robinson once said,
under capitalism, "the misery of being exploited by
capitalists is
nothing compared to the misery of not being exploited
at all.") These
facts complicate the simple derivation of terrorism
from
globalization."

Isn't this too economoizing, ie reductionist, and
therefore economizing with the truth. Waht is this
hang up with this J robinson quote. that is the
wrongest thing she said man, yet it is flouted all
over.
Is there anyone outside of capitalism, go to Papua and
the bag handler would want 15$ before he carries the
bag. but the issue is more tricky: it is about the non
existence of previous modes of production under
capitalism.

"But there was little serious acknowledgment that we
were attacked, and
that some US response was inevitable and even
justified. Recognizing
that doesn't mean assent to Bush's version of a
response, though lots
of people in the peace movement seem to fear it does.
But anyone who
wants to speak to an audience beyond the small circle
of believers has
to consider these questions seriously."

Is this lax talionis or equal retort. i presume this
is one american tooth for 7 million people. for a
whole set of teeth then what is next: 70 million.
