Superb analysis. The Carney speech is fasinating because it basically confirms what critics have been saying for decades, but now coming from inside the tent. I dunno if mainstream outlets couldn't handle the cognitive dissonance or if they actively buried it, but either way it exposes how fragile the whole narrative framework really was. Once someonelike Carney says the quiet part loud, the entire house of cards gets harder to defend.
I feel - unwisely in this forum perhaps - compelled to suggest that you folks might perhaps occasionally mention some of the good that's come out of this currently disastrous capitalist greed and incompetence.
For example, massive improvements in health care. The huge reduction in rampant starvation and famine, (but still used as a geopolitical tool, unfortunately). And a general improvement in the safety of citizens across the globe compared to the brutal dynastic periods of yore.
Not making excuses, just trying to remember a little bit of light in the darkness? :)
I'd say Cuba stands as a better model for healthcare improvements, and the NHS is quite avowedly socialist (Or was when it was set-up), with no private 'capitalist' elements in it in its heyday.
Personally, I'm in favour of worker-ownership (Which would arguably fall under Smithian capitalism), but the NHS eschewed even that.
Capitalists monopolize power, crush opposition, and then when any improvement over medieval conditions is noted, they take full credit. Thanks for the reminder.
Sorry, but the balance sheet does not warrant your claim at all. The 'brutal dynastic periods of yore' have nothing on the scale of massacre, plunder, subversion, domination and extraction exacted on the world population by the US and European powers. In the current, and last century.
This is an excellent synopsis of Carney's speech at Davos. Part of the problem is that Carney is an adult and has a higher consciousness than most. Thus, many people can only grasp what they can. For Trump, it was so far over his head that all he got was Carney slamming HIM.
It reminds me of the song, "You're so vain, I bet you this song is about you..."
And, you are absolutely right about the Western media. Since they have been spreading the pro-Western propaganda (that's their job), they have no interest in sharing Carney's truth bomb. If the truth were to come to the surface, they would be exposed as a fraud. It's better to deny to maintain the illusion that they've created.
Our governments are so corrupt that it requires a lot of propaganda. Hell, Albert Einstein pointed it out in 1949, calling us an oligarchy. The truth is, the US has always been an oligarchy with the charade of being a democratic republic. The only good thing about Trump is that he is so ignorant that he destroys the myth by saying the quiet parts out loud. :)
Nailed it! Western ‘liberal’ political and media establishments simply refuse to face reality.

Indeed. However, it doesn't really matter who takes credit. Improvements are made. The ones who do the actual work know the truth.
