protests on california campuses will increased tuition really make the uc system less diverse and is it really an attack on immigrants as claimed in the attached article well not exactly the uc system is substantially funded by overseas east asians who pay full fees they aren t going anywhere it s really an attack on poor people or working class people but class warfare is not in the vocabulary of

for western finance capital tosses a few logs on the fire we have spent long enough discussing china s exchange rate policies it is time for action krugman joins in the problem of international trade imbalances is about to get substantially worse and there s a potentially ugly confrontation looming unless china mends its ways 2 imf managing director dominique strauss kahn as well we do believe firmly in the imf that the renminbi is undervalued and that it is not only in the interests of the global economy but also in the interests of china to have revaluation of the currency it s doubtful this will come to a happy ending for all sides overcapacity in capitalism is resolved through the liquidation of competitors war or mass bankruptcy or expansion of markets the end of communism for one there is a problem with overcapacity a very typical marxian crisis of overproduction that has been fermenting for decades as justin lin of the world bank said in july significant excess capacity has been built up and unless this issue is addressed we will face a deflationary spiral and the crisis will become protracted china needs a trade surplus to recycle money back into its banking system which has quite a lot of bad loans and many more coming you can t built unoccupied cities without having vast amounts of non performing loans and as is often mentioned export industry employment is maintained through a devalued currency this is why beijing will do what it wants with the yuan the western financial elite considered the destruction of its working class a loss leader to open up china and crack its banking system this has not happened and the dream is gone now that the west is riddled with its own banking crisis meanwhile china has used the crisis to bolster its dominance in world markets and this is not going to go unchallenged it could lead to military confrontation for all the talk of democracy and rights the western ruling class is not far removed from world war slavery imperialism and nuclear attacks china s government was rather naive to buy billions in worthless paper from the us government and they should not be so naive to forgot history 1 grim truths

cracking china s banking system previous post posted by purple at 12 09 am no comments saturday november 14 2009 where to get jobs there seems to be a growing clamor for a jobs program for large swaths of the american population steady employment is dream of yesteryear wages are too high here and interestingly the class struggle has played out to the point where long term private sector growth can only come through technology driven productivity gains labor in asia is cheap and plentiful so while the west still has the capital there is little reason to invest it here when profit rates are much greater elsewhere capitalism can be defined as a system in which private capital controls the chief modes of production in society small letter capitalism has existed for much longer than capitalism one can see a scenario in which the private sector is unable to fulfill a dominant production role in oced countries and where government takes over entire developed industries that have reached a stage of zero profitability in this scenario capitalism might fade once again into capitalism but this is just a scenario posted by purple at 11 00 pm no comments silence on china it s interesting how little the left talks about china are they the merciless bosses of the new world order stalinists socialists etc one could probably find twice the articles on venezuela as compared with china in any leading leftist organ despite the fact that china will soon be the second largest economy in the world it seems that few people know what to make of the country s rapid economic growth but as the u s and china head for geo political collision it seems important to develop a more sophisticated understanding of this large factionalized and class riven country rather than just
