Netanyahu hoodwinked Western leaders again! Following their lukewarm criticism of his genocidal campaign in Gaza, he launched an unprovoked attack on Iran to force them to back him, and drop their qualms about his genocide. And they have taken the bait!

1. Everyday feels more and more like Orwell's Animal Farm, with an illiterate/ gullible population blindly following a leader with just the illusion of revolution; Skipping the idealistic societal ideals of Old Major (Lenin/Marx) and jumping straight to Napoleon era (Stalin).

Fact-checking is not censorship.
Requesting evidence is not censorship.
Refuting falsehoods is not censorship.
Stopping a lie from travelling halfway round the world before the truth has got its boots on is not censorship.
But Zuckerberg's grovelling to Trump will sure as hell lead to censorship.

9. If the existing political class finds all this too frightening, and the very idea of systemic change horrific (they will!), the best thing they can do for all of us is to get out of the way and leave bolder, less compromised people to get on with it.

8. We look at radical political decentralisation and devolution, to create a genuine democracy, owned by us, not remote elites. We show how economic life can also be owned by the people, not distant corporations and oligarchs, through “private sufficiency, public luxury”.

7. If we are to build a politics that speaks to people, that meets our needs, that allows us to thrive, that is owned by us rather than a distant, unresponsive centre, we need to start over. Peter and I show how this can be done.

6. The plural of incremental change is not systemic change. The plural of incremental change is failure.
And this failure means that someone else does the systemic change, in a completely different way.

5. The Dems simply did not understand what was barrelling towards them: the results of their own craven appeasement of capital, across decades; their perennial, frightened, false belief that “people won’t accept systemic change, so let’s just offer tiny increments of change.”

4. What we then do is to look at how community, belonging, meaning and democracy can be rebuilt. Everything has become harder this week. But if one good thing comes out of it, it should be a rejection of the neoliberal extremism that characterises “centrist” politics.

3. Trump will make everything worse, but please, let’s not blame the voters. This is a massive failure across the political class. It has deep historical roots, that we explain in the book.

2. For 45 years, there’s been a broad consensus between Democrats and Republicans around this soul-sapping, life-destroying doctrine. Political choice was reduced to details. The big questions went unasked and unanswered. Why wouldn’t people want to kick the whole thing over?

I have a book and film out in May, written and made with the great Peter Hutchison, about neoliberalism, its endless lies and the disasters it inflicts, and the network of dark-money funded junktanks that promotes it. The book and film are both called The Invisible Doctrine.
