The Bangladesh Tragedy is just another example, too numerous
to ignore, of institutionalized terrorism.
That is to say, terrorism built into the capitalist mode of
production. For example, there was a
huge, preventable explosion at a fertilizer plant near Waco, Texas. Around the same time as fourteen people were
killed in Texas and a small town decimated, the Boston Marathon bombing
occurred which killed three people. Is
Homeland Security investigating the Texas explosion? I think not.
This is plainly the result of business as usual with OSHA so
deliberately understaffed that it would take 114 years in order to secure the
safety of all US factories and places of business. That would imply safety regulation; truly a
threat to … the bottom line. It’s time
to draw a new line.
I am writing about my evolution from liberal to radical. This blog contains observations along the way. This is me during my arrest at the White House on September 2, 2011 to stop Keystone XL.
