Anti-capitalism and Culture: Radical Theory and Popular Politics
Jeremy Gilbert | Sep 2008 | ISBN: 1845202295 | PDF | 270 pages | English | 0.8 MB
What does 'anticapitalism' really mean for the politics and culture of the twenty-first century?
Anticapitalism is an idea which, despite going global, remains rooted in the local, persisting as a loose collection of grassroots movements and actions. Anti-capitalism needs to develop a coherent and cohering philosophy, something which cultural theory and the intellectual legacy of the New Left can help to provide, notably through the work of key radical thinkers, such as Ernesto Laclau, Stuart Hall, Antonio Negri, Gilles Deleuze and Judith Butler.
Anticapitalism and Culture argues that there is a strong relationship between the radical tradition of cultural studies and the new political movements which try to resist corporate globalization. Indeed, the two need each other: whilst theory can shape and direct the huge diversity of anticapitalist activism, the energy and sheer political engagement of the anticapitalist movement can breathe new life into cultural studies.

Money is a construct of those who want total control. The whole system is based upon theft & most don't even question it. Who gave the businessmen the right of ownership - no one - they took it by force. To make it seem like a legitimate right they made up laws, regulations, institutions - religion being the most deceptive of all.
We simply don't need money nor business. We could so easily co-operate, just live together for one another.
Technology would not be hindered.
Housing would be of need, not what you can afford.
Food would be grown locally & delivered fresh.
Medical care would be free of profiteering & therefore based on the needs of the body & again, not held back by business methodology.
Transport would be efficient & personal ownership of cars would be obsolete.
We wouldn't have to work more than a few hours per day, & hey, it wouldn't be work.
We wouldn't be cooked up in schools, offices, facrtories, etc. I'm not saying we wouldn't necessarily have schools, etc, but they'd be based around the childs nature cycle, interests, abilities, etc, just as work would for adults.
We wouldn't have crime as the source of crime would be gone.
& war would be an embarrassment of past ignorance & conformity to the manipulator.
This is not utopian thinking, it is what could be, if only we stretch ourselves a little & began to look at life as it is rather than as it's dictated to by those with an agenda for self aggrandizement.
