are we taking advice from jeffrey fucking sachs?
i hear larry fink is doing a talk soon. think it might interest you.
Really curious how western economists/journalists/organizations are shouted down as imperialists not worth listening to when they're advocating against imperialism.
Sachs might still be a liberal who buys into the freedom and democracy shit, but he has been consistent on this and one of the few sober voices with regards to US foreign policy.
jeffrey sachs is not merely an innocent economist/journalist though.
he helped turn the soviet union to capitalism (with a dash of fascism) and came up with the framework to subjugate any country to imperialist goals. he is the one responsible for the things he allegedly doesnt like.
I'm well aware of his work and the impact it has had (although a bunch of it has been overblown). It makes no difference to how valid his point is. What's more his credentials lend him great credibility among those who still believe in the dogma of liberalism, and make it undeniable that if a highly accomplished working economist, shares the opinions of many Marxist analysts then delusional libs should probably listen for a change.
ok you have a good point
His perspective on war isn't Marxist. Economics thinking, doesn't put a lot of weight on irrational hatred as a basis for happiness.
It's not only mean and unfair, it's unprofitable to make a war on Russia.
I never said it was. I just said he's liberal economist who has come to some of the same conclusions as Marxists, obviously because of different motivations.
