The unequal distribution of global wealth by individuals (not countries)
should give us pause. Even the Wall Street Journal is impressed:
Here’s another stat that the Occupy Wall Streeters can hoist on
their placards: The world’s millionaires and billionaires now control
38.5% of the world’s wealth.
How do we know? Because Credit Suisse has just published the second
edition of its Global Wealth Report, in which they calculate the
distribution of the world’s total wealth.
http://anticap.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/pyramid.jpg?w=935&h=587
As readers can see above, the figures for mid-2011 indicate that 29.7
million adults, about 1/2 of one percent of the world’s population, own
more than one third of global household wealth.
Of this group, they estimate that:
* 85,000 individuals are worth more than $50 million,
* 29,000 are worth more than $100 million, and
* 2,700 have assets above $500 million.
Compare this to the bottom of the pyramid: 3.054 billion people, 67.6
percent of the world’s adult population, with assets of less than
$10,000, who own a mere 3.3 percent of the world’s wealth.
Add another billion people with assets between $10,000 and $100,000 and
we have 91.2 percent of the world’s adult population that owns something
on the order of 17.8 percent of total world wealth.
Clearly, global capitalism has enriched a tiny minority while leaving
the vast majority at the bottom of the global wealth pyramid.

Police Disguise Protest Sabotage As Public Safety
by Allison Kilkenny
The Occupy movements, in addition to being some of the most important activist movements to come along in the United States in several decades, have helped underscore several societal crises. For example, the failure of the establishment media and the rise of the beltway pundit class, the disappearance of public space, and also vanishing civil liberties, to name only a few.

For the Media: The ABCs of Occupy
http://www.commondreams.org/view/2011/10/30
by Robert Freeman
It would be comical if it weren’t so pathetic, watching the media desperately trying not to understand what the Occupy movement is all about. So, for the aid of the occupationally obtuse bobble-headed bloviators, I’ll spell it out in Braille:
THE SYSTEM ISN’T WORKING!
The economy is rigged so that all of its fruits go to those at the very top. The political system is repulsively corrupt, odious with the stench of dirty money sluicing through it to buy gutter-dwelling politicians and their votes. And the media itself, for all of its pontifical posturing, does nothing to clarify the situation and empower the people. Nor can it.
It is owned by the very corporations that are the source of the breakdown of the American dream. So, it is no surprise that instead of clarifying and empowering it does exactly the opposite: it occludes and mystifies. It prevents accountability and change, and works to divert, divide and pacify tens of millions of people who have had it and hopefully won’t take it any more.
Here’s the simple, three paragraph executive summary of our current economic situation.

Wall Street Protesters Hit the Bull’s-Eye
by Eduardo Porter
http://www.commondreams.org/view/2011/10/30-0
Occupiers of Zuccotti Park and other sites around the country have been criticized for the fuzziness of their goals. Their complaint that the privileged few in the top 1 percent are getting a disproportionate share of the nation’s prosperity, however, is spot on. And Wall Streeters are taking a bigger and bigger chunk of that income.
Who exactly are the people at the top? They are 1.4 million families that made on average $1 million in 2009, the latest data available. They took a hit from the 2008 financial crisis, but no doubt are regaining lost ground. The rich always do: a report published last week by the Congressional Budget Office shows that the share of national income going to the top percentage of households skyrocketed over the last three decades, even as it fell for the vast majority of American families.
The top 1 percent’s share of the nation’s total adjusted gross income was 17 percent in 2009, down from 23 percent two years before. But those people are still earning more than the entire bottom half of the population.

Climbing Mt. Improbable
Any radical initiative exposing Wall Street, and moving toward a new left in general, needs to get past the Social Darwinist ideology that is the mainstay of the attack on the middle and other classes. There are two components to this: the ‘liberal’ Darwinist science groups who use Darwinism to serve what they call a ‘secular’ agenda, viz. the new atheism, et al. The latter are excellent cover for the former, and are totally confusing the issue.
Darwinism is one of the indispensable props of the ‘greed is good’ ideology that is tearing the American and other societies to pieces. Deprived of its science fiction fantasy of natural selection, the challenge to economic ideology can begin from a new understanding.
No social movement on the left should be crippled by Darwinian ideology, from now on. OWS deserves to be something more than the usual laughingstock on this issue, mouthing the Darwinian cliches from the secular humanist dupes. Secular humanism would be a great vehicle for a new left, but it has been wrecked by the idiocy of much of its agenda, so a new perspective is needed. Whatever the case with that, the issue of Darwinism is simple: it is bad science. And the attempts to use that as grounds for some religious agenda is also bad science.
All that is needed is to accept the reality of factual evolution and its visible chronicle in deep time. The theory of Darwin, natural selection, is an ideological add-on that makes the promotion of various ideologies seem rigorous. That can be dropped, and the result is not some concession to right wing design arguments, but simply better science. For the left to stand up for real science here, beyond the abuse of evolutionism to promote economic ideology, would be an immense contribution.
It requires, not arguing with the rightwing Intelligent Design people, who can be bypassed, but confronting the so-called liberal Darwinists who are creating a science monopoly out of bad science, and using that to promote, among other things, Dawkins-style atheism, etc…
I have no stance on the atheism question, as such, but the attempt to use evolution to legitimate atheism is false from the word go. So a challenge to the Darwin groupies here, who are clogging the liberal/left with Darwinian fanaticism, are true laughingstocks: the right must be laughing all the way to the bank.
Let me emphasize that the religious red herring is irrelevant here. It is a question of demanding real science from scientists, and to stop the Big Science bulwark of the economic darwinism that is wrecking the achievements of a whole century. The darwinism here is cleverly disguised by indirection, but the behind the scenes use of this ideology, is rampant, and ruthless. The use of it, unspoken, to trash the middle and working classes has started to take off in the past decade, and it is sustained, behind a grossly ridiculous and hypocritical conservative ID movement, by the claims for science by Darwinists, claims that have been exposed over and over again.
In the end the religious issue won’t go away. However, I don’t think debates over theism/atheism after the fashion of the current new atheist milieu are of any value for anyone. Who cares? god, no god, it’s all bullshit in the useless formats on both sides. A real discussion here seems hopeless to expect. Atheist humanism is a poor substitute for religious idiocy. Both have failed, and it is important for the left to not go down with the new the new atheist ship. The only intelligent stance on the left is a dynamic agnosticism that can dialectically explore all sides and one that can embrace a public of diverse views in a single party.
Let me hasten to add that religious confusion, as the left always claimed, can be a force for exploitation. I think the left has a job to expose the exploitation of culture via religion.
But the effort to do that since the era of Feuerbach has failed. So drop it and move on. It is not viable to let eitehr religious traditionalists or atheist humanists coopt the left.
This issue requires additional commentary at some other point. The issue we started with is that of Darwinism: it is a bogus theory, and its ideology has infected science, and the old left.
A new left must challenge Big Science on science grounds, bypassing the atheism/theism quagmire, to make itself intelligent on the rampant behind the scenes use of Darwinism to prop the capitalist class struggle, horsewhip the ‘lower classes’ and make the virtues of altruism look like pseudo-ethical illusions of natural selection.
It is time a new left stood up to this bullshit scientism, bad economics, and Darwinian groupie culture. Whether that follows a religious or atheist humanist path remains open. Since both of the latter are problematical, the way to the future remains open.
The reason for the link to WHEE is to suggest that while we are ignorant, beyond the surface perception of its reality, of how evolution really works, world history itself might be able to give us a hint. In any case we must stop the false application of darwinism to historical analysis.

http://darwiniana.com/2011/10/27/the-russian-revolution-and-the-liquedation-of-majority-left/ This strong attack on Zizek was meant seriously, but it is also true that I sympathize with the classic Marxist strain. However, IT WON’T WORK anymore to peddle straight Marxism. The Arab Spring made obvious that Leninist violence has to give way to the Gandhian legacy, at least to start. Whatever the case, the real legacy of Marx is almost impossible to discuss because it has been wiseacred to the point of nullity by its propagandists.
Face it, a huge number of people, the type that once made the left robust, simply cock their pistols at the mention of Marx. Period.
I think the OWS groups are moving in another direction, but this is really the same old direction, nothing ever changes, except that fresh bread goes stale: thus Marxist theory, stale to the point of moulding, greenish yuck. They need, not a neo-Marxist ideology, but a history of socialism as a virtual workable project to the left of their probable basic
orientation in the context of conventional (labor) politics.
This virtual left project should simply ditch Marx, putting him behind the back, to be picked up by the other hand. The whole tradition should be broken down and recast. Its Leninist failures can and must be disowned, what to say of Stalinist latencies.
The Marxist legacy should be recycled around the whole problematic of the modern transition, and start with the Reformation, up to the French/American/democratic revolutions. German Classical Philosophy instead of Hegel, and much else, including a new and better stance toward or replacement for atheist humanism.
How about the classic side potential, Kantian ethical socialism, which had a robust presence in the period of the Second Internationale. It would make a superb replacement for conventional Marxsim:
Kantian Ethics and Socialism
The old left is being sidelined by the rise of a new approach. But people still need to consider the issues of socialism, economic ideology, revolution, in the classic sense of the French Socialists et al. from whom Marx/Engels borrowed everything. That more ancient ground, still hybrid with the issues of the French Revolution would serve better than dead Marxism. Socialism is NOT a marxist monopoly, and the proponents of Kantian ethical socialism were among those murdered and wiped out by the left (and right). They held to a higher standard.
This project could remain a resource, virtual, educational in the context of the current OWS movements. If the world is going to devolve into a revolutionary chaos, then the virtual project is ready.
The left is running out of time, and the rehash of Stalinist nightmares by Zizek is, well, cock you pistol. They have declared they will kill you for a long list of Leninist reasons, so defend yourself.
Van der Heuvel’s book is a gem of the socialist tradition.

For reposting at the `1848 #Occ blog:
I am reposting this as the weather turns cold. I think that the resources of the OWS are rapidly finding solutions here, so if my humble efforts are no longer needed, I am glad. But as an unemployed student of Greek who spend a long time roaming the country (writing poetry, and obseving labor in a thousand perspectives) via the hobo freight circuit, the ins and outs of winter survival are a relevant history as the temps dip in the various OCC camps. In the eighties, I lived a whole winter outside near the rail head of Grand Junction, Co., alt. ca. 4800 ft, typical night low in January, 15 degrees, dumpster diving deluxe for metal, frozen foods (!) (hobo frozen foods compare favorably with TV diners), and recyclables (better than minumum wage if you figure it out), armed with a ten below bad of cheap holofill from Cabelas, $100 at the time. Sleeping out with the right gear is easy, safe and fun, almost invigorating,and after two week or so the body adjusts with blood thickening vigor at the cold. Absent a ten below mummy bag, the principles of layers in a bedroll is cheap, and easy, but bulky, unless you don’t have to carry it all day. So there is no reason to panic at the coming of cold temperature.
The post cited was very conservative: I say that with a ten below bag you can sleep at twenty five degrees. I didn’t say it, since I fear advice on the net to strangers. But a ten below bag can go bit lower!
The point is that you don’t have to be intimidated by the system: if it has no place for you, you don’t have to sell your sell to get back in. You can simply flip the bird at all of it, with a ten below mummy bag.

A set of cheap ten below bags could allow a core group to hold out with ease throughout the winter, blizzard periods excepted. The NY winter is generally quite mild, a set of core hard periods being the only problem: with a ten below bag it is a piece of cake. The difficulty is mostly psychological. Cheap holofill bags (expensive duckfeather bags, forget it) could be found discounted I would suppose.

Scientists Measure Dream Content for the First Time: Dreams Activate the Brain in a Similar Way to Real Actions
ScienceDaily (Oct. 28, 2011) — The ability to dream is a fascinating aspect of the human mind. However, how the images and emotions that we experience so intensively when we dream form in our heads remains a mystery. Up to now it has not been possible to measure dream content. Max Planck scientists working with colleagues from the Charité hospital in Berlin have now succeeded, for the first time, in analysing the activity of the brain during dreaming.

David Harvey—The Party of Wall Street Meets its Nemesis
By David Harvey / 28 October 2011
The Party of Wall Street has ruled unchallenged in the United States for far too long. It has totally (as opposed to partially) dominated the policies of Presidents over at least four decades (if not longer), no matter whether individual Presidents have been its willing agents or not. It has legally corrupted Congress via the craven dependency of politicians in both parties upon its raw money power and access to the mainstream media that it controls. Thanks to the appointments made and approved by Presidents and Congress, the Party of Wall Street dominates much of the state apparatus as well as the judiciary, in particular the Supreme Court, whose partisan judgments increasingly favor venal money interests, in spheres as diverse as electoral, labor, environmental and contract law.

Do Bacteria Age? Biologists Discover the Answer Follows Simple Economics
ScienceDaily (Oct. 27, 2011) — When a bacterial cell divides into two daughter cells and those two cells divide into four more daughters, then 8, then 16 and so on, the result, biologists have long assumed, is an eternally youthful population of bacteria. Bacteria, in other words, don’t age — at least not in the same way all other organisms do.
