El ?Lord Feudal?. ¿Sabes quién es? Sammy Eppel te habla de él
2008-08-28 12:55:00 Lord Feudal Por Sammy Eppel La concepción económica del feudalismo consistía en la creencia que toda la riqueza estaba creada y que la única manera de obtenerla era arrebatándosela a quien la tuviese, luego todo cambio cuando el mundo se dio cuenta que la riqueza era producto del trabajo y la creatividad del individuo. Chávez es un ...

Tariq Ali–My Heart Bleeds For Feudal Pakistan
2007-12-31 16:00:00 Pakistan born writer and commentator, Tariq Ali, blasted the feudal method by which power was transferred in the Pakistan Peoples Party. “A triumvirate consisting of her husband, Asif Zadari(one of the most venal and discredited politicians in the country and still facing corruption charges in three European courts) and two ciphers will run the party till Benazir’s 19 year-old son, Bilawai, comes of age. He will then become chairperson-for-life and, no doubt, pass it on to his children. The fact that this is now official does not make it any less grotesque. The Pakistan Peoples Party is being treated as a family heirloon, a property to be disposed of at the will of its leader.” Ali questions how western politicians can take seriously a political organization that is run in this feudal manner. Dynastic politics is a sign of weakness, not of strength. The solution of a triumph for the PPP is part of the problem confronting Pakistan– how does democracy emerge ...
My heart bleeds for Pakistan. It deserves better than this grotesque feudal
2007-12-31 07:53:00 Six hours before she was executed, Mary, Queen of Scots wrote to her brother-in-law, Henry III of France: “…As for my son, I commend him to you in so far as he deserves, for I cannot answer for him.” The year was 1587. On 30 December 2007, a conclave of feudal potentates gathered in the home ...

Feudalism is dead, long live feudalism!
2007-12-21 10:21:00 After previously snubbing the Sumilao farmers and ordering riot police to block their way to the presidential palace, officials led by the President finally heeded the indigenous peasants’ request for an audience. After two meetings in Malacanang, the palace issued an order favorable to the peasants. It was a triumph of symbols, Januar Yap writes of ...

Feudal Economics and the Republican Party
2007-11-21 17:44:00 I meant to comment on this opinion piece by Jonah Goldberg yesterday:Ron Paul isn't that scaryIt's important because it tells us what the Republican Party is all about and what it fears the most. Goldberg attacks social conservative Mike Huckabee because he is an economic progressive. What's troubling about The Man From Hope 2.0 is what he represents. Huckabee represents compassionate conservatism on steroids. A devout social conservative on issues such as abortion, school prayer, homosexuality and evolution, Huckabee is a populist on economics, a fad-follower on the environment and an all-around do-gooder who believes that the biblical obligation to do "good works" extends to using government -- and your tax dollars -- to bring us closer to the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth.[....]And therein lies the chief difference between Paul and Huckabee. One is a culturally conservative libertarian. The other is a right-wing progressive.Yes, the Republican Party stands for feudal economics - ...

Nuclear Feudalism: Terror War Profits and the Crack-Up of Pakistan
2007-09-11 10:29:00 by Chris Floyd I. There is high drama in Pakistan these days, as terror, tribalism and repression cut a deadly swathe through the collapsi ng regime of military strongman Pervez Musharraf. The latest uphe aval came on the political front this weekend, as the nation's last elected leader was forcibly barred from entering the country — while yet another former leader was frantically negotiating a backroom deal, with Washington's blessing, on sharing power upon her own imminent return from exile, as the Times of India notes. The dictator is being propped up by the largess of his Terror War patron, George W. Bush, who for years has overlooked (or abetted) the entwining of Pakistan's military and security organs with the Taliban, their support for a range of terrorist groups, and the clandestine peddling of nuclear weapons technology to "rogue regimes" all over the world. The military alliance between the United States and Pakistan — toasted again last week by ...
Professionals- Today’s Feudal Lords
2007-06-04 16:02:00 When the eminent cardiac surgeon, Dr. Naresh Trehan was terminated from his institution, the Escorts Heart Institute in New Delhi, few people had the time or the inclination to study the merits of the case. No one was bothered to check whether or not Dr Trehan had a conflict of interest with Escorts. With his own project Medicity coming up in Gurgaon and this consuming a lot of his time and energy, it is plausible that the management did have a case. Instead, the newspapers were full of pictures of patients beseeching him to operate on their loved ones and testimonials from those whose life he had saved. Every one ignored the fact that the issue under discussion by the management was not his undoubted professional caliber but his alleged preoccupation with his own project to the detriment of his employers. In a culture that is still to shed its feudalism , skilled professionals are the new feudal lords who command despotic respect because their skills and abilities are in short supp...

?Mukhtar Mai being harassed by govt, feudal lords?
2007-04-09 13:46:00 The work of Mukhtar Mai, who survived a gang rape to become a fervent campaigner for voiceless women in Pakistan, has earned her many enemies, among feudal lords and even in the government, according to noted American columnist Nicholas Kristof.?Mukhtar is a hero of mine,? Kristof writes in The New York Times. ?But her work has earned her many enemies, particularly among the feudal lords - and even in the government of President Pervez Musharraf, who fears that Mukhtar displays Pakistan?s dirty laundry before the world. So the Pakistani authorities are harassing Mukhtar, trying to break her organisation?, which helps women and the poor in distress.?Most of the pressure right now is on Mukhtar?s top aide and soul mate, Naseem Akhtar. Lately Naseem?s brother was in a mysterious vehicle accident, her father was ordered arrested for no apparent reason and her own house was broken into,? writes Kristof.The report says that Farooq Leghari, a police chief, was transferred away from Meerwal...

Miss Cantabria y la vuelta al feudalismo
2007-02-22 10:52:00 Ya hemos llegado al esperpento más rancio y casposo de la España feudalista y ha ocurrido en Cantabria, una tierra como reza su lema: Infinita. Hemos visto como en pleno debate de la plena igualdad de la mujer, una vez más, un concurso trasnochado ya en su creación, ha vuelto a trasladarnos al medievo con la decisión de retirar a la ganadora del Certamen Miss Cantabria de su justa corona, por el simple hecho de ser madre, en definitiva, por tener un hijo. Eso pasa en la actualidad, cuando tenemos la lucha ganada por la mujer en las que los partidos polÃticos incluyen en sus listas cláusulas que garantizan la plena igualdad de sus miembros en la composición de sus listas a representar a todos los ciudadanos en nuestros municipios y comunidades autónomas.Pues bien, con este increÃble hecho, nos han devuelto a la realidad de lo que son los concursos de belleza: la Edad Media. Este increÃble hecho, nos ha hecho ver que se siguen incumpliendo las leyes en ciertos certámenes, ...
Land Reform: Time for Feudalism to go
2007-02-06 05:32:02 Adil Najam The Pakistan Kisan Conference met in Lahore this Sunday and (again) demanded an end to feudalism. My first reaction to reading the news was to remember Faiz (remembering Faiz, by the way, is my default mode in just about all matters): youN arz o talab say kab aiye dill, pathar-dil paani houtay haiN tum laakh raza ki khoo Dallo, kab khoo-i-sitamgar jaati hai But this was tempered immediately as I read of a new World Bank report that highlights the troubling inequity in land ownership in Pakistan. Before saying more about both, let me just put my own views on the table. First, I think that the ?feudalism? card is a favorite boogie of the urban educated elites of Pakistan. It is a very convenient thing to blame all our problems on. Why have we not had democracy? Feudalism. Why does the economy not flourish? Feudalism. Why did we lose to South Africa yesterday? Feudalism. Feudalism and the so-called ?unparh, jahil awam? are our scapegoats of choice. It is a very easy way for...
Adaptation of Social Media in a Feudal World: Cisco vs Apple
2007-01-16 14:00:00 Last week the world was taken by storm by quite a few pieces of tech news. As none of them were, at the time, related to Social Media Optimization or Social Media Marketing, I really didn’t feel that it was appropriate to talk about them here. Besides, with 64 million sites already talking about the ... |
