"Mansplaining?" Okay, I'm trans M, a two-spirit, non-binary, but biologically F and had to live with the usual indignities for 53 years. Your writing is not clear... but you did dismiss the New Deal re: women and controls on capitalism.
The monied class did conspire to get rid of New Deal regulations like Glass-Steagall, which was dumped by Clinton. The Powell memo is an example of their agenda.
You're missing my main point. Which is that runaway capitalism is not inevitable and there are ways to contain it. It WAS limited--then the Ds of the 80s onward unleashed it. We're living with the neolib econ decisions they made, yet there is a proven alternative.
That "navel" comment is a silly ad hominem. Go read my other comments on this thread if you want a nuanced view of the wide variety of subjects I've been "exploring." From econ to ecology, to labor activism, to history, to the way indigenous people connect to the land, to physics, to the differences between processes of the left and right hemispheres of the brain.
Who cares? Well, all these subjects impact how we view the world. Seeing from different angles makes for an appreciation of how complex reality is. Like the blind men and the elephant--each had a piece of the whole.
Of course I "don't live in the '30s." But I sure wouldn't rule out Depression 2.0. Not understanding the past means not seeing why events happened or what could have happened differently. Or could be different right now.
As George Santayana said "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." I'd add that indigenous peoples value the practical knowledge and the wisdom passed down over generations, a living past. Without the past, we'd float in a disconnected, isolated now. And future would have no meaning.
Thank you for sharing how you are colonized. The problem with the internet is you don't really know who you are talking to. Our land was dispossessed. My grandfather farmed the old way--as our ancestors did in Japan for god knows how long. Stop preaching to me. You don't know me and your blather is full of assumptions that are very far off the mark. I am sorry you are so male-identified you come off as a male, which you are not. As I say, I have never lived in the 1930's. But I have lived under American imperialism my entire life. And it is not limited capitalism. If you care about ecology and indigenous people (which to some degree we all are), capitalism is the greatest danger we face.
