    1. Diemer, Ulli: Abandonando el Interés Público
      Resource Type: Article/Report/Letter
      Published: 2000
      Las sociedades industriales aprendieron, en el curso de décadas, que los intereses privados no pueden ser usados para salvaguardar el interés público cuando entran en conflicto con sus propios intereses. Fue una lección dura, aprendida con el costo de muchas vidas, pero el resultado fue que gradualmente, pieza por pieza, país a país, una infraestructura pública de regulaciones y agencias y procedimientos fue obtenida para proteger la salud pública y la seguridad. Esa infraestructura está siendo minimizada ahora, no sólo por fuera, sino por dentro de las propias instituciones gubernamentales.

      Published: 2001
      Les sociétés industrielles ont appris au cour de décennies, que les intérêts privées ne peuvent être fait confiance de sauvegarder l'intérêt publique si il y à conflit avec leurs intérêts. C'étais une dure leçon apprie aux coûts de plusieurs vies, mais le résultat à été graduellement, pièce par pièce, pays par pays, une infrastructure de régulations publiques et d'agences et procédés mis sur pied pour protéger la santé publique et la sécurité. L'infrastructure est maintenant sapée pas seulement de l'extérieur, mais du gouvernement même.

      Published: 1978

      Published: 1985
      La creencia que la sociedad oficial es tan abrumadora que no se puede hacer nada al respecto está muy cerca de la idea que no puede hacer nada.

      Resource Type: Article/Report/Letter
      Published: 2009
      On the issue of free speech most of the right and much of the left are in agreement, and so too are many liberals, activists, and human rights apparatchiks. They hold essentially the same position on freedom of expression # they are for it #in principle#, but only so long as it isn#t used to express views that they find unacceptable or offensive. What they disagree about is merely who gets to decide what ideas are unacceptable, i.e., who gets to censor who.

      Published: 1994
      Un buen lugar para empezar ser#a preguntarse si el familiar principio de la Izquierda, "el derecho de auto-determinaci#n" realmente significa algo o si es otro eslogan vac#o cuyo principal uso es que la Izquierda lo puede repetir como mantra y as# salvarse de tener que pensar de manera cr#tica.

      Pour Panitch et ses compagnons l'autodétermination n'a qu'un seul sens: celui de la sécession. Ils disent aux Quebécois: "Vous avez le droit de partir. Alors dépêchez-vous!" Il ne leur passe pas par la tête que les Quebécois peuvent choisir une option différente de celle de la sécession.

    47. Draper, Hal: Marx on Democratic Forms of Government
      Resource Type: Article/Report/Letter
      Published: 1974
      Marx#s socialism (communism) as a political programme may be most quickly defined, from the Marxist standpoint, as the complete democratization of society, not merely of political forms. For Marx, the fight for democratic forms of government # democratization in the state # was a leading edge of the socialist effort; not its be-all and end-all but an integral part of it all.

      Published: 2010
      Tell a truth that discomforts power, that challenges its domination over our lives, our discourse, our very thoughts, and you will be destroyed. No institution, public or private, will stand with you; the most powerful entities, public and private, will be arrayed against you, backed up by overwhelming violent force. This is where we are now. This is what we are now.

      Resource Type: Article/Report/Letter
      Published: 2010
      If the state fails to make any sense#not surprising#it is because it is has no intention of doing so. The state is appealing to something more visceral with all of this posturing: fear. It wants to strike fear into the minds and bodies of people working with Wikileaks, or anyone else doing such work, and anyone contemplating leaking any classified records. Fear is its greatest weapon of psychological destruction, with proven success at home. And in this case, the danger lies at home. The outcome the state hopes for is greater self-censorship and greater self-monitoring.

      The Vile Campaign Against Julian Assange and Wikileaks

      Resource Type: Article/Report/Letter
      Published: 2010
      WikiLeaks is under concerted attack from the US government. Also under attack by the US government is the whole idea of freedom of thought and of information. It needs to be clearly understood that the attacks on WikiLeaks by the US government -- attacks which have included heavy pressure on companies like Paypal, Amazon Books, Visa and Mastercard, all of which have closed their accounts with the organization, making it difficult if not impossible for Assange and his team to raise money, and on internet servers, making it harder for WikiLeaks to stay online -- could as easily be used against news organizations and political organizations.

      It will prove difficult to separate speaking against members of protected classes, or criticizing their practices, from hate. The two things are easily conflated. Once enacted, hate crimes will become independent of specific violent acts. An eventual likely outcome will be that speaking against members of specially protected classes will itself become a violent act of inciting violence.

      Since 9/11, we have given up many of our rights and our government has condoned practices like torture, legalized assassination, kidnapping, indefinite detention without access to council or trial – all in the name of keeping us 'safe' and 'free'. We have adopted practices and behaviors that we used to abhor in other nations and regimes.
