"The government we need" - Michael Parenti

If you can do it, you can afford it

Fail music

Michael Parenti is a grandstanding, bombastic, ivory-tower apologist for tyrants like Milosevic and other Communist wannabes.

Straightforwardly true.

Unfortunately I think communism on a scale as grand as that of most modern countries probably couldn't ever work very well. But if we became stateless and relied on this sort of public sector production in our smaller communities, we could maybe thrive as a human race for once.

They'd rather spend the money dropping million dollar bombs on folk who live on less than a dollar a day.

In my experience as a Canadian, we did much better when services and utilities were public entities and Crown Corporations. Paid for through taxes.

The shift toward PPP, Public/Private Partnerships here, wherein the government contracts with private companies to build and/or maintain public infrastructure projects tends to lead to cost overruns and completion delays while still costing taxpayers and fattening the wallets of corporations.

Nobody should get rich from building and maintaining sewers, fresh water, electricity, and so on. I'd go so far as to place salary caps on CEOs and other executives to see that money distributed more equitably amongst the workers who produce that revenue, but maybe I'm a little bit of a Marxist
