“The enormous dynamic and creative, as well as destructive energy of capitalism... is written up with more praise and more respect by Marx and Engels in the 1848 Communist Manifesto than probably by anyone since. I don't think anyone has ever said so precisely and with such awed admiration how great capitalism is, how inventive, how innovative, how dynamic, how much force of creativity it unleashes.” ThinkingWellsSaidEnergyForceCreativityCreativeWrittenCapitalismPraiseEnormousDestructiveAdmirationCommunistInnovativeManifestosCommunist ManifestoEngels Author:Christopher Hitchens

“Under the Obama regime, the president and his allies are intentional in pursuing these conflicts from the perspective that you must sacrifice your most sacred beliefs to government the instant you start a business.

“There are some things in the world we can't change- gravity, entropy, the speed of light, and our biological nature that requires clean air, clean water, clean soil, clean energy and biodiversity for our health and well-being. Protecting the biosphere should be our highest priority or else we sicken and die. Other things, like capitalism, free enterprise, the economy, currency, the market, are not forces of nature, we invented them. They are not immutable and we can change them.

That could change the whole region.” EnergyDifficultCapitalismAidsSpoiled Author:Ahmed Rashid

“If we return to the two faces of individualism - individualism as the spur of energy, initiative, and imagination; and individualism as the limitless struggle of all against all - it can be seen how the two practices emerge from and limit the extend of the disequilibrating impact of the contradiction involved in the geocultural agenda.” IfsTwoFacesEnergyImaginationPracticeStruggleReturnInvolvedLimitsCapitalismImpactContradictionAgendasIndividualismInitiativeLimitlessSpurs Author:Immanuel Wallerstein
