Sunday Morning LInks
This and that for your Sunday reading. - James Cairns discusses why socialism is seeing a resurgence in popularity, particularly among younger citizens who see little reason for hope in politics as usual: Occupy Wall Street popularized the language of the 99 per cent and the 1 per cent as a way of explaining class inequality. The 2012 Quebec student strike declared that "Education is a Right" while beating back a 75 per cent tuition hike. Bernie Sanders is campaigning for a "political revolution" that would end the power of corporate interests over public policy. Allied movements, ... more »

The Great Reckoning
Andrew Bacevich writes that there's a Great Reckoning coming. The device he uses for his argument is "a remnant of a manuscript, discovered in a vault near the coastal town of Walpole, Massachusetts, [which] appears to have been part of a larger project, probably envisioned as an interpretive history of the United States since the year 2000. Only a single chapter, probably written near the midpoint of the twenty-first century, has survived." Bacevich looks at the world from the perspective of the future. In the early part of the 21st century, the evidence of the coming planetary ... more »
On Two Closed Systems: Marxism and Objectivism
Vladimir Lenin made Marxism a closed system in 1909: In his major theoretical work *Materialism and Empirio-criticism*, Lenin writes, “You cannot eliminate even one basic assumption, on substantial part of this philosophy of Marxism (it is as if it were a solid block of steel) without abandoning objective truth, without falling into the arms of the bourgeois-reactionary falsehood.” Leonard Peikoff made Ayn Rand’s philosophy of objectivism a closed system in 1989: In his article, “Fact and Value,” Peikoff writes, “Objectivism holds that every truth is an absolute, and that a proper p... more »

Elizabeth Warren Wants to Transfer $640 Billion in Student Loan Debt to Taxpayers
*Russell Rhine* *Economics, * A really bad idea. On Tuesday, Sen. Elizabeth Warren released more details to her proposal to transfer approximately $640 billion in student debt to taxpayers. With total student debt at about $1.6 trillion, and annual college tuition and fee increases outpacing inflation for decades, many Americans might welcome policies that seemingly make college more affordable, including student loan “forgiveness.” The program would benefit many responsible students repaying their loans as scheduled. However, it would also reward students who used college as a... more »

How the U.S. Marines Plan to Fight (And Win) the Next Big War
*Dan Goure* *Security, * Here is their plan. In an era of great power conflict, U.S. amphibious warfare forces are the Nation’s first line of defense. But many senior military leaders, including the new Commandant of the Marine Corps, General David Berger, believe that large-scale, multi-brigade opposed landing operations of the kind conducted in the last century are no longer possible due to the proliferation of anti-access/area denial (A2/AD) systems. As a result, the Marine Corps is reconsidering both the size and composition of its amphibious warfare fleet. Before the Navy ... more »

Medicare for All Would Be a Total Trainwreck (And Cost Trillions)
*Kevin Pham* *Politics, * What you need to know. With the debate over health care heating up again, Medicare for All once more is a hot topic. Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., has sponsored a new version of his Senate bill that promises to free Americans from health care concerns. But at the core of the Sanders bill is still the vast and fundamentally illiberal restriction on choice for both patients and providers. One key provision of the bill would outlaw health care plans that duplicate coverage. Section 107 states bluntly that “it shall be unlawful for—(1) a private health insu... more »

The Scandinavian systems are similar to Medicare for All in the respect that they use regional offices to administer reimbursements to providers.

South Korea vs. Japan: The Trade War the World Needs to Watch
*Stratfor Worldview* *Politics, Asia* The ghost of World War II linger on. *Korea was an integral part of the Japanese empire from Tokyo's annexation in 1910 until the Allies liberated it in 1945.
