Shocking omissions: "Capitalism's conscience – 200 years of 'The Guardian'" | Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal

April 29,2021 —
Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal reposted from Media Lens — Long before ‘the propaganda model’ flew off Edward Herman’s keyboard and into ‘Manufacturing Consent’, the book he co-authored with Noam Chomsky, Leo Tolstoy had captured the essence of non-conspiratorial conformity:
‘One man does not assert the truth which he knows, because he feels himself bound to the people with whom he is engaged; another, because the truth might deprive him of the profitable position by which he maintains his family; a third, because he desires to attain reputation and authority, and then use them in the service of mankind; a fourth, because he does not wish to destroy old sacred traditions; a fifth, because he has no desire to offend people; a sixth, because the expression of the truth would arouse persecution, and disturb the excellent social activity to which he has devoted himself.’ (Tolstoy, ‘What Then Must We Do?’, Green Classics, 1991, p.118)

How neoliberalism hides its true face

Academic and author Joel Bakan
PUBLISHED in 2004 alongside the 2003 film documentary of the same name, Joel Bakan’s The Corporation: The Pathological Pursuit of Profit and Power was a timely and influential critique of the central institution of contemporary capitalism.
Bakan, professor of law at the University of British Columbia in Canada, has now published a sequel — The New Corporation: How ‘Good’ Corporations Are Bad For Democracy.
And, true to form, he has also co-directed a documentary based on his new book.
In your 2004 book and 2003 documentary you argued corporations, as institutions, are imbued with the character traits of a human psychopath. What is the central argument of your new book?

What to watch on Crave in February 2021

In 2003’s
The Corporation, B.C. filmmakers Joel Bakan and Jennifer Abbott warned us that if the modern corporation was put through a psychological assessment, it’d be diagnosed a psychopath. In 2020, they returned with a sequel that admits an awful truth: the psychopaths won.
The New Corporation recaps the ensuing years of economic collapses and global decay, even incorporating COVID-19 into its narrative as both a technical obstacle to be worked through and the inevitable result of corporate disregard for public health. (And yes, this anti-corporate exposé counts Rogers and Bell among its production partners, which is perhaps the most 2020 thing about it.)

B.C. has power to limit non-essential travel into province: constitutional law professor

Premier John Horgan said in a statement Thursday that the province cannot prevent people from travelling to B.C. from elsewhere in Canada, noting that much of the travel into the province is work-related, which is protected under the Charter.
Bakan said if most of the people crossing the B.C./Alberta are doing so for work, they would be protected by Section 6, and the government would have to make a good case that it posed a significant threat to British Columbians. “I guess the government didn’t feel they could make that case.”
He said the legal questions facing B.C. around restricting travel into the province are the same as those faced by the Atlantic provinces – Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland and Labrador – which created a pandemic bubble in the summer, requiring anyone from outside the four provinces to quarantine upon entry, while allowing travel between the Atlantic provinces. The Yukon, Northwest Territories and Nunavut also require out-of-province travellers to quarantine for 14 days.
