“In a public lecture delivered last week and published online Tuesday [5/10/16], award-winning Canadian author and social justice activist Naomi Klein argues the dire situation of climate change, coupled with failing political and economic systems, is creating a world where nobody will be left unaffected.
‘It is not about things getting hotter and wetter but things getting meaner and uglier, unless we change the corrosive values that are pitting people against each other,’ Klein said last Wednesday as she gave the 2016 Edward W. Said London Lecture at the Royal Festival Hall in London.”
Political Observation: Propagandists who are against capitalism have a field day with any writing that speaks candidly about the shortcomings of our economic system. I’m a capitalist, but that does not mean that I am unwilling to consider the limits and faults of the free enterprise system and the private ownership of the means of production. Naomi Kline is one among many who perceive the things that need adjustment and correction. So don’t fret about left-wing media headlining her criticism. We know they are deflecting attention from the grievous failures of totalitarian socialism and communism. Just because RT.com, formerly Russian Television, and other propaganda organs pick up on our free world’s self-criticism does not make it wrong or subversive.
