1. #1    "The major western democracies are moving towards a corporatism. Democracy has become a business plan, with a bottom line for every human activity, every dream, every decency, every hope. The main parliamentary parties are now devoted to the same economic policies - socialism for the rich, capitalism for the poor - and the same foreign policy of servility to endless war. This is not democracy. It is to politics what McDonalds is to food."
   
   Well put. Excellent article.

2. #2    Thinking about this article, it is easier to understand why so many white South Africans see Australia as a Utopia. It's a return to the good old days.
   
   Australia has been overrun by apocalyptic religious groups. The author doesn't mention this phenomenon as one of the reasons for the worsening of racial divides and Aboriginal poverty. Religion can provide a great cover for racist policies.
