		<description><![CDATA[&#8230;As the demands of capital and the relentless ideology of corporate media hem in the scope of democratically elected politicians to differ substantially from each other, personality and identity become the surrogates for real political debate. Celebrating Australia’s first woman prime minister is fine, but let’s not delude ourselves about how much difference it makes. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the wake of Synthetic Genomics’ dramatic achievement, ‘playing God’ was the predictable cry in the media. The verb is misleading. It implies that whereas God works, Venter and his colleagues are merely playing; a blasphemous mockery, the trifling mimicry of a monkey, carrying out the form of creation while missing its content of the original – the ineffable [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Despite the fact that Philosophy is the highest-rated subject at Middlesex, and one of the strongest in the country, management have decided to shut the department down, without even the pretense of an appeal to any objective standards. This is a clear and unambiguous example of the profit motive&#8217;s destructive effect on academic excellence; an [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The consumer-choice model of democracy tends to encourage the same behaviour from political parties as from corporations: marketing, branding, advertising and other forms of mendacity, which in turn generate cynicism and a distaste for the political system – a deserved distaste. Honesty and principle are punished; the scum rise to the top. The expenses scandal [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Some of us, disillusioned by other charismatic and supposedly transformational leaders (Tony Blair, in my case) or philosophically predisposed to see the changing of the guard at the top of the capitalo-parliamentarian state apparatus as a charade, did not expect much. But to the starving, a crust is a feast, and after eight years of [...]]]></description>

Just a few weeks before, however, another meeting took place. In November last year, the International Encounter of Left Parties met in Caracas. At that meeting, Hugo Chávez, in typically theatrical [...]]]></description>

From his obituary: Dans une époque pressée, confuse, massivement portée à la veulerie et au simplisme, l&#8217;homme passait fréquemment pour distant. Tous ceux qui eurent la chance de l&#8217;approcher peu ou prou savent combien cet esprit universel, profondément attaché à [...]]]></description>

We do our best to improve things, but we face a mountain of ignorance and a swamp of superstition. They are confused. They don’t know what they want. This is a fine city, but its people are still mountain folk [...]]]></description>
