Naomi Klein on remaking people by shocking them into obediance

Wow, you'd think Klein was saying Jesus was a cross dresser by the evangelical way folks are attacking what she is saying about this particular style of abuse of economic power.
First of all, I doubt 90% of the people commenting on Klein's work actually know what capitalism means or that our society in the US is not a free market system. The United States never has and never will advocate for open and unregulated trade. If you are saying "hunh?" at this point look at sugar, steel, lumber, the hot button issue of immigration or any other of multitude of examples.
What all the G8 powers want is protection and advantage for their markets and economies against the other G8 members, while emerging nations seek to gain a foothold for theirs.
Labeling it "free market" is just propaganda designed to dupe people into thinking its a random occurrence when they get the shaft economically and not part of a deliberate decision to favor one side over another. Klein's work is just pointing out this fact.
No friends yet.

This has got to be some of the laziest sleight of hand I've seen. You only have to barely pay attention to Teller's right hand to see him load up every prop with bees.
It is magical that they were able to get me to watch all three minutes of that though. :0
