Book Review: The Shock Doctrine
In 2007, Naomi Klein published her best-selling treatise on the effects of neoliberalism. It generated a lot of discussion about the future we were creating.
20 years later, the book has had no effect. Neoliberal economics dominates.
What went wrong?

What happens when trust in human institutions collapses, and who benefits from the vacuum? I wrote an article covering the Dutch benefits scandal, Robodebt, the Epstein files, the war on Iran, and why the pitch for algorithmic governance gets louder every time something awful comes to light.
It ends with things you can actually do.

@martinus I've read about half of the book, then I got too mad. Maybe should finish it. Also never seen the documentary, so thank you.

Book Review: The Shock Doctrine
This 2007 book explained the follies of neoliberal economic policies. It was so popular that it should have changed the world. But it didn't.
The author is back again on the lecture circuit, explaining woes of neoliberalism again.
Until Naomi Klein advocates for the end of political parties, the uber wealthy will making most of the decisions--in their favor.

Alberta's CorruptCare scandal continues to play out in the open as the Honourable Raymond Wyant completed his report.
Wyant made notable caveats within the report, citing a lack of evidence available to him due to the limited scope of his investigation.
While the UCP are quick to shape the narrative of this publication, the above concern is that Alberta is indeed under siege. Wyant's investigation was publicly disarmed before it began.
But, Wyant persisted. It was noted that there were those who were trying to provide us the glimpses within the scandal.
Wyant's report is out and available for review.
Get your copy, get it read.

From “Opinion: Crisis capitalism comes for Alberta’s classrooms”, by Trevor McFadyen, a reference is made to the UCP's potential use of a Shock Doctrine or manufacture of societal crisis in the context of education.
I think it applies to many more issues in Alberta.

"An alliance between the far right and Silicon Valley oligarchs has given rise to a form of "end times fascism," says journalist Naomi Klein, who details in a recent essay co-authored with Astra Taylor how many wealthy elites are preparing for the end of the world even as they contribute to growing inequality, political instability and the climate crisis."

"In its simplest terms, the shock doctrine is just a strategy to advance deeply unpopular — and profitable — ideas. It’s using a moment of crisis to advance policies that benefit elites, but that tend to be opposed by most voters." Naomi Klein
“Only a crisis, real or perceived, produces real change,” and when that crisis occurs, change “depends on the ideas that are lying around.” Milton Friedman

The rise of end times fascism
"To have a hope of combating the end times fascists, with their ever-constricting and asphyxiating concentric circles of “ordered love”, we will need to build an unruly open-hearted movement of the Earth-loving faithful: faithful to this planet, its people, its creatures and to the possibility of a livable future for us all"

These MFers rewriting history to whitewash the bloody hands of the CIA
As if the rest of the world, who was on the receiving end of those policies are naive and ignorant to buy this shit.

Yes!
We musssst pay attention to patterns in history.
Once upon a time, Jack Layton died and the party took the moment to bring in Mulcair, someone (even?) less progressive, certainly not radical.
Now the Liberals bring in someone even Harper wanted in his government.
Ross Gentleman also shared his concerns around BC's Bill 7:

"In just 100 days in 1994, about 800,000 people were slaughtered in Rwanda by ethnic Hutu extremists. They were targeting members of the minority Tutsi community, as well as their political opponents, irrespective of their ethnic origin."

Been reminded that someone uploaded an audiobook of my first book Shock Doctrine of the Left using a Stephen Hawking-esque computerised voice, if you wanted a weird way to read it
It's on #activism and #cybernetics / #complexitytheory basically!
(There's some diagrams in the last chapter which I dont think are included, just so you know)

People here might also be interested in my first book The Shock Doctrine of the Left, which combined leftist / social movement activism with complex systems theory. Its much shorter and doesn't include the spirituality angle of my current projects, but it's otherwise of a piece!
