Neoliberalism, shock doctrines, and the rape of Iraq
The Road to 9/11: Wealth, Empire, and the Future of America [Paperback]
Peter Dale Scott
Krugman’s piece today on the ‘shock doctrine’ is very important, and his reference to the case of Iraq in the shock doctrine phase of ‘neoliberal social rape’ is important to recall, understand.
It is certainly right to promote non-violoent protest, but you certainly don’t want to live through what the Iraqisl lived through under Bush/Bremer. Americans are responsible for allowing that, although certainly they were deceived. The case of the great Iraq neoliberal rape was/is disgusting.
You are certainly being deceived in the same way now.
The book above gives some background.
