Confronting the Crisis of Care

It would seem that contemporary capitalism doesn’t care that much about care work. Including support for our elders, children, mentally ill, and others requiring assistance, care work is either poorly remunerated or, quite often, not paid at all. Professional care workers are among the least protected and most exploited members of the labor force. Mothers, grandmothers, and others who sacrifice to nurture our past and future generations are told to take reward from the righteousness of their task; meanwhile, the elites—whose business practices are oftentimes anything but righteous—console themselves with a wild accumulation of riches by sheer dispossession.

Reference to mothers and grandmothers is not hyperbolic; care work, both paid and unpaid, is overwhelmingly performed by women. It is also disproportionately performed by women of color, particularly as the decline of manufacturing and rise of economic inequality continues to provoke an upsurge in low-wage service sector employment. The chronic undervaluation and lack of respect for care work thus represents and perpetuates white supremacy and patriarchy in our society.

Our relationship to care work of course does not exist in a vacuum, but rather is buttressed and guided by hegemonic institutions—from the mainstream media to our schools and churches—as well as by government policy, which this study examines in depth. The development of gender and race roles in care work is intimately linked to the way our welfare states have been constructed. Public policies
have been used to socialize the benefits of children more successfully than the costs, redistributing resources from parents to non-parents and from mothers (who devote the most time and money to the next generation) to everyone else.

In this study, Nancy Folbre, MacArthur Fellow and professor emerita of economics at the University
of Massachusetts Amherst, explores the contemporary treatment of care work and what can be done
to change it. Starting with the concept of care and its historical development within the framework of
the welfare state, Folbre builds a damning case against patriarchal capitalism and its exploitation of
those who sustain its past, present, and future. Then, turning to the here-and-now, the author aims
her sharp analytical insight to the middle-distance and proposes a series of reforms that is sufficiently
realistic to be achievable within the current constraints of the existing order, yet far-reaching enough
to speak to our transformative dreams—how can we imagine a more sustainable and less exploitative
world for our children and children’s children? This text provides a thorough roadmap for activists and
academics fighting to reframe our notions of care and the value
our society assigns it.

MacArthur Foundation is one of the largest U.S. philanthropic foundations. It "was founded in 1978 when John D. MacArthur passed away. He left ninety-two percent of his approximately $1 billion estate to begin the foundation. The foundation was created in John's will but with no instructions on how the money should be used. He left that up to his hand-picked board of directors. The composition of the first board included Catherine T. MacArthur (his wife), J. Roderick MacArthur (their son), three officers of Bankers Life (the company he established), and Paul Harvey (radio commentator).

The Gatekeepers Of The So-Called Left


Last February United for Peace and Justice, the largest representative coalition within the American "anti-war movement", emerged from their second annual Assembly with a 2005 "action plan" that effectively caged the "anti-war" debate exclusively within the Iraq conflict to achieve partisan ends on behalf of the pro-war Democratic Party and their Neoliberal corporate benefactors. Their "action plan" refused to address any of the core issues of US Foreign and Defense policy, which are the root causes of a pervading culture of war and militarism that has taken over the nation in the years since WWII.

These decisions are part of a larger pattern of "regulated resistance", a system by which dissent is carefully managed and constrained by self, overt, or covert censorship; denial-based-psychology; fear of personal or professional criticism and reprisal; and pressure from powers above including elected officials and those establishment foundations which flood millions into the not-for-profit activist sector.

This establishment money, and the access it grants, has caused many ostensible resistance leaders to suddenly and dramatically abandon long-held ideological positions and shift their behavior towards doing what can clearly be seen as the bidding of those in power whose views and values are in direct contravention to the established mores of peace and justice movements throughout history.

These "resistance leaders" of the "Left" act as "Gatekeepers"—influential "progressive" figures who use their resources and visibility to regulate the debate, tactics, and rhetoric of the "anti-war" and other "progressive" movements.




Medea Benjamin and Kevin Danaher co-founded the international human rights organization Global Exchange 17 years ago. In that time they have been consistently clear and outspoken with their views on war and Neoliberalism—more commonly known as corporate globalization. Because of their combined intellectual acuity and renowned fearlessness, Benjamin's media savvy, and the access they have been granted through some of their more prominent benefactors such as the MacArthur Foundation and billionaire financier George Soros, they have come to command a high level of visibility in progressive politics.

Benjamin has fast made a name for herself as a leading figure in the "anti-war movement" with well-publicized media stunts at the Republican and Democratic Conventions, disruptions of FCC and Congressional hearings, and frequent trips to the Middle East to showcase the suffering of the Iraqi and Afghani people. She also benefits from her proximity to well-known "progressive" leaders, celebrities, and journalists. Alongside her Code Pink Women for Peace, and Danaher's Green Festivals, Global Exchange has come to command a significant market share in the larger peace and justice community, reaping enormous "street cred" within the activist world.

Benjamin also wields a disproportionate amount of weight within the Green Party of the United States, having run for Senator of California on their ticket in 2000, and within the anti-war umbrella group United for Peace and Justice, where she sits on their Steering Committee and is arguably their most influential member. As testament, Benjamin and her Global Exchange/Code Pink cadre were the authors of three of the five proposals passed by UFPJ at the February Assembly.

But during the 2004 Presidential campaign, Benjamin's message and tone began to shift dramatically into what came to be known as the "ABB" movement—Anybody But Bush. She and eighty fellow prominent leaders who once formed the one hundred-thirteen member "Nader 2000 Citizens Committee" put forth a petition urging anti-war Nader not to run, and instead threw their support behind pro-war Democratic Party candidate John Kerry.


John Kerry has over $ 30 million invested in war contractors.




What outrages many of those within the activist community who are aware of these funding sources is that these so-called "dissidents" would consent to take money from these foundations given the long and voluminous history they have as part of the war-making establishment.

In his book Trading with the Enemy, Charles Hingham documents how both the Rockefeller and Ford fortunes were enhanced in part through collaboration with Nazi Germany, the Rockefellers by selling the Nazis oil through the Standard Oil Company, and the Fords by selling the Nazis tanks through subsidiary corporations (note: the only industrial infrastructure spared in the Allied bombing of Germany was the Ford Motors plant near Cologne). Both Standard Oil (eventually Amoco) and the Ford Motor Co. made huge profits from Defense contracts following WWII. Since 1950 a Rockefeller has held a prominent leadership position in the Council on Foreign Relations, and David Rockefeller was cofounder of the Trilateral Commission. Both organizations helped craft the "Carter Doctrine" of the late 1970s which stated that the US would heretofore intervene militarily to protect its oil supply from the Middle East.


Billionaire George Soros, who refers to himself as a "progressive philanthropist", has since 1995 been part of the arms-dealing Carlyle Group, in which he has invested a reported $100 Million, and has substantial stock holdings in weapons manufacturers Boeing and Lockheed-Martin. He is a member and former Director of the CFR, and is a member of the enigmatic Bilderberg Group, a collection of approximately 1300 of the world's richest and most powerful figures in business, banking, media, military, and government, who meet once a year in extreme secrecy and under almost unfathomable security, and whose official purpose and actions remain a mystery, spurring a deluge of wide-ranging speculation.

The 353-member American contingent of Bilderberg is a bipartisan cavalcade that includes Paul Wolfowitz, David Rockefeller, Colin Powell, Henry Kissinger, Vernon Jordan, Melinda Gates, Bill Clinton, and Alan Greenspan. It is long argued and well documented that the mission of this organization, working in conjunction with the Council on Foreign Relations and the Trilateral Commission, is to manipulate world governments and economies to promote a global, capitalist agenda commonly referred to as the "New World Order". These supranational bodies seek to dismantle national sovereignty (through mechanisms such as "Free Trade" agreements) in favor of a one-world government which primarily upholds the rights of corporations and the wealthy over the people.

Without looking at foundation funding and it's role in assuring people chase their own tails or run around like headless chickens thinking they are engaged in some kind of active citizenry, things will continue to get worse.

Some groups exhaust themselves by futilely targeting elected officials, from the White House or Congress, down to local councilpersons. Other groups burn out chasing after corporate-run media. And other people stumble upon each other protesting and screaming about mini scandals as they pop up at a bewildering rate. While the _real culprits_ continue to put out these mock targets for people to waste their time chasing, targeting, and attempting to shoot.

The real culprits, the megas, hand pick political candidates and finance their election campaigns.

They own the media.

They fund and take control of any grassroots or watchdog NGOs that exhibit the tiniest sign of success, visibility and or viability. They foresee we the people's easily foreseeable reaction and possible restlessness or dissent, and make sure it is properly misinformed, misguided, channeled, and diverted.

Thus, the small minority of active citizens continue to become exhausted, burned out, and never get anywhere.

Then, the cycle repeats itself; again, again, and again.

Independent media - a true story.



Once upon a time there was a passionate and visionary person. This person came across a major government corruption or fraud case. He took it upon himself to research and investigate the case; most likely after his daytime work was finished, after his children's bedtime, while sitting behind his computer in the basement of his home. He was driven by his strong sense of justice and honesty, and his feverish passion to expose and hopefully put an end to the injustice and corruption he had discovered.

Along the way he found a couple of comrades who shared his vision, and they too kept working, researching and investigating. They found sources within the target agency, aka whistleblowers, who provided them with inside information and leads, and they made sure they protected the sources anonymity.

And then, bam! The passionate and visionary group realized they had piled up enough data and smoking guns to fire, and they fired. They published their report, worked hard to disseminate it, and gained attention with their uncovering of a certain government agency's waste and fraud. They earned deserved applause from the general public, even various media publications. It became one of those admired David v. Goliath stories. A 'real' one. A 'genuine' one.



Then came the second chapter in this story: The earning of the attention and wrath of the affected bosses, and their bosses- the megas.

The intermediate bosses, the executive bureaucrats and appointees, were filled with contempt and rage over the exposure of their fraudulent and corrupt practices. They, known to be reactionaries, wanted to exterminate this newly formed idealistic and driven coalition; they wanted to shut them up-shut them down.

If they had their way, they would have collected dirt on this group, or even better, they would have made up dirt. They knew various ways to use the media to marginalize dogs like this. They knew channels that could get them persecuted or prosecuted.





But 'The intermediate bosses' bosses, the megas, known for their shrewd, calculated, and long-term planning capabilities reined them in. Short term solutions could have short and long term negative consequences. Short term solutions, even if good, would have short-lived benefits.

This was not the first time they were facing a tiny little adversary group of dogs with surprisingly well developed testicles, thus, a fairly loud bark, and a pretty good set of sharp teeth. They had nearly a century of experience with little dogs like that, coming along once in a blue moon.

The megas and their long term tentacles in key government agencies had developed a good solution, a well-devised mechanism, to deal with 'dogs' like this. The key component of their long-proven successful method was to emasculate the watch-dogs and turn them into loyal lap-dogs: Reduce the watch-dog's testicles size and functionality by attaching strings to them weighted down by anchors, and afterwards file down the watch-dog's teeth, one-by-one.


Back to the newly formed coalition, high on success, eyes bright with resolve, and ready to take on the intermediate ruler's fraud, abuse, and corruption.

The group, emboldened by their recent success and strengthened by their newly-found public notice and support, was transformed from a loosely formed coalition with a common cause to a Watch-Dog Group.

There were so many cases to tackle, so many corrupt practices to investigate, and way too many abusers to chase after; truly overwhelming. Granted, now they had some visibility that provided more clout, a certain level of public backing, and some experience, making future projects less daunting.

But still. They needed more resources; more time and more manpower. So they scrambled and raised a humble amount of money from their public supporters and true believers. They turned their income-earning full-time jobs into part-time work, and spent more time on this noble cause. It was all good. It was all for the good.

And again, they had another successful round, bringing them more recognition and further public cheering and support, and with it raised expectations-both from themselves and the public in general.







If only they could afford an office and more and better computers. If only they could hire a few researchers to conduct the nitty-gritty research and footwork, leaving them free for the major aspects of the tasks at hand. If only they could afford to travel and meet with some of their out of town sources and whistleblowers. If only they were able to afford legal advice to maneuver the treacherous channels…If only.

This 'if only' would become the major determinant in whether the story would stop right here, or, enter the next chapter, chapter three: when the corporate-foundations guardian angels started arriving.

The megas who had been closely watching the newly formed government Watch-Dog Group (I say closely because the megas have their ways and channels to keep close tab on their enemies, even those perceived as tiny little enemies).

For them now was the right time to slowly make their entry into the Watch-Dog circle and make their way toward getting at these dog's testicles and teeth, and begin the emasculation process.

As the Watch-Dogs pondered ways to expand and strengthen their base and reach, angelic sounding and wisdom-reeking people with excellent connections and sound-sounding ideas began approaching them.

Here are some examples of the dialogue between the Watch-Dogs (WD) and the angelic-sounding advisors (ASA):

ASA: 'You certainly need some savvy PR people and legal advisors, and a few experienced researchers.'

WD: 'Sigh. You think we don't know. The problem is; how do we get the badly-needed funds to accomplish all that?'

ASA: 'Surely you can. Of course, you must organize and set yourself up better, before you can even begin to raise those needed funds - I know a few people and noble foundations who would love to help you out, but you are not ready yet - that is, organizationally speaking.'

WD: 'And how is that?'

ASA: 'Well, I would start with a solid Board of Directors, and after that, a distinguished Board of Advisors for your organization.'

WD: 'That sounds so bureaucratic. Wouldn't that restrict our decision-making process? With all those people on board, wouldn't it be harder and much slower making decisions and getting things done?'

ASA: 'Not at all. The alternative is what? You end up working yourself to exhaustion, and achieve very little if anything. Add to that the size of the enemies-the targets you are after, and you know…Of course, it is your decision.'

WD: 'And what do these foundations and generous people want in return? We pride ourselves on being independent and nonpartisan'

ASA: 'Oh, don't be silly. Just look around you. How many successful and powerful Watch-Dogs do you see out there without big foundation and large donor funding? The ones who didn't make it, the ones you don't see, were the ones that didn't know how to go about getting foundation support and raising funds.'

So the wise and angelic sounding new friends, the mega's messengers and small-level players, made their way into the Watch-Dog group and started planting the seeds of 'Grand NGOs via Grand Grants via Grand Foundations.'

The Watch-Dogs didn't see any harm in putting together a Board of Directors. Of course, the wise and angelic sounding advisors were always there to show them the way:

WD: 'Okay, so the three of us and two of our recently retired whistleblowers-sources will be on our board of directors'

ASA: 'That is so cute. It is simply adorable. BUT, it doesn't work that way. You want a distinguished and experienced group of people. I would say, at least 10-12 distinguished people who are connected to and familiar with the foundations that will be providing you with grants. Maybe a few scholarly academic people who already work with-for these foundations and wealthy individual donors'

WD: 'Hell. How are we going to find and persuade these people to come and sit on our board?!'

ASA: 'Oh, don't be so pessimistic. They would be honored. We'll give you a list. In fact, we would be more than happy to be the conduit'



And slowly but surely the Watch-Dogs began implementing their wise and angelic sounding advisor's to-do list. They established a large and distinguished-sounding Board of Directors. They put together a lengthy list of impressive-looking advisors.

They began frequenting cocktail parties. They made their way into the circle of corporations and foundations which form the corporate-foundations, and of course wealthy individuals and philanthropists.

They had very little time left for their 'real' objectives; the watch-dog-ing, but they considered it a temporary thing. Once they had the needed funds and resources, once they had the dollar guarantees, then, well then they could get busy and do tons of watch-dog-ing.


Months went by, and then years.


The Watch-Dog Group, now Watch-Dog Organization, expanded; that is, in budget size, staff size, and office size. Per their Board of Directors and Board of Advisors instructions, aka advice, they replaced the director, their original founder, with a savvier, aka shrewder, person who knew how to handle and please the entire Board of Directors, Board of Advisors, and of course, the corporate-foundations and individual wealthy donors.


They spent a lot of time in cocktail party circles, at wealthy foundations-grantees retreats, and on legal calculations, tax calculations, public relations..

Of course, they did some Watch-Dog-ing work, or more like Watch-Dog-ish mini projects, and they learned how to make their mini Watch-Dog-ish projects sound like grand Watch-Dog projects.

It was an art, and their board members were all masters of this particular art.

As for the megas, by this time they considered their emasculation project completed and yet another long-term success:

The mega's men and women had penetrated the group as members of the board. They now watched the watch-dogs very closely; every move and every plan. They now ruled the watch-dogs. They reported back on all the anonymous sources within the government agencies that were naively providing information to the watch-dogs, and helped the megas and intermediate government bosses keep tabs on all these insiders-whistleblowers.



The Dogs were placed on a very tight leash. They had built new lives based on highly addictive handsome salaries and benefits: They had bought seven figure houses, enrolled their kids in prep schools, and had grown dependent on high dollars and perks. Their staff's livelihoods were also dependent upon the same high dollars.

The maintenance of their luxury-filled lives and their dozens of staff had become the number one objective, their first priority.

The Watch-Dog's testicles were pulled down and dragged on the ground by the attached multi-strings and weighty anchors - the money from their corporate-foundation's sugar daddies.

With the testicles almost gone, the Watch-Dog's barks became high-pitched and far less audible; more like a wimpy yelp than an actual watch-dog bark.

And they whimpered and yelped only once in a while.

As for the teeth, slowly but surely they were filed and ground down; every one of them; one-after-another.

Basically, in the end, there was not much left of the original Watch-Dogs. Without testicles, with their teeth gone, with an embarrassing yelp rather than a bark, and of course, with their newly acquired lap-dance skills to obtain the highly-addictive foundation grants, they now were officially considered Lap-Dogs- Lap-Dogs of the Corporate-Foundation Sugar Daddies.


..and here we are today

‘Kevin: I see that some book called Dirty Politics is having a big impact on the coming election. Trouble is – I can’t figure out the “bad guys” from the “good guys.” Care to clue me in?’

"First you have the extraordinarily bad guys, These are the ones who promote rampant consumerism, sale of NZ land to overseas corporations, looting of the commons by any means possible, polluting of the land, air and water, expansion of industrialised agriculture, Ponzi schemes, secret trade deals signed behind closed doors, public misinformation campaigns, nepotism cronyism and anything Orweliian and dysfunctional. These go under he brand name National. John Key, ex-Wall St currency manipulator and speculator with strong Jewish connexions heads the National government. He is extremely popular amongst the uninformed masses because he spends most of his time smiling and waving as he gets on and off planes to and from visits to other psychotic sociopaths, and has succeeded in fooling a large portion of the NZ public, rather as Hitler did in the mid-1930s. National is very likely to be returned to power at the next election, either by popular support (which says a lot about New Zealanders, but don’t forget that NZ is totally dominated by Auckland (Orcland), Wellington and the remains of Christchurch, where around half the population live), or by vote rigging. Because NZ society, economy and environment are collapsing somewhat more slowly that most others Key is perceived by the ignorant masses as doing a good job. Lying continuously helps maintain the façade.

Then you have the ultra-nasty bad guys, the remnant of the group who gained power under false pretences (socialism) in the 1980s, and set in motion globalisation, selling-off of community assets to their mates at discount prices etc., performing what would normally be regarded as acts of treason. Having done massive damage, they broke away from faux socialism and formed their own loot-and-pollute-and-exploit party. These are known as ACT, and still have support despite the well-documented crimes of all the major personalities. As with National, supporter are ignorant, stupid and stubborn.

You have the rather nasty guys, the left-overs from the betrayal of socialism of the 1980s to 2000s, plus a few opportunists who have merged since the catastrophic Clark government which set to ruining everything at a faster pace than National. These are known as Labour (but this is a totally faux label because the party stands for globalisation, corporatisation, looting and polluting of the environment and screwing the general populace. it is good to see Labour languishing in the polls, since they stand for betrayal.

There is another bunch of ‘bad guys’, the faux save-the-planet party who at various times have promoted international tourism as a ‘sustainable’ component of the NZ economy, biofuels made from food, money-printing to stimulate the economy, and ‘an enquiry into loss of manufacturing jobs’. These are known as the Greens, despite there being almost nothing green about them. I prefer to describe them as liars and fuckwits. the last time they had any influence was when they were in bad with Helen Clark and supporting globalisation, money-lending and pretty much everything non-green you can think of (though they did oppose GE crops).

A new party emerged from the remnants of genuine social concern and I cannot describe these people as bad guys. Well they weren’t until they got hitched to a self-promoter who wears a baseball cap backwards and goes under the name of Kim.com. Like all other parties this group consists of deluded fools. However, they may have enough support to give national a bit of a fright.
There are a few other bad guys, such as the Maoris Party, which at one time was talking about GPI, peak oil, climate change etc., but then thought better of it and sold out to National for a few crumbs that might fall off the table.

I might just remind you that we have an MMP system whereby
governments are formed by various combinations of liars, self-servers and fools. The real owners are quite happy with that state of affairs. Just as long as there is no threat to the real power base the real owners will tolerate any collection of bad guys. That said, National is taking badness to a new level, and the covert fascism which as characterised NZ for decades is rapidly morphing into overt fascism under John Key’s ‘leadership’. That’s one reason he is known as the smiling assassin by anyone with a brain that still functions properly (now only a tiny portion of the populace, I’m afraid: the junk food, consumerism and corporatized sport have taken their toll.

According to Robert Atack there is one group of good guys, the 1080 party who are opposed to the use of sodium floroacetate because is results in a slow and painful death, not only to the target species (possums), but to anything else that ingests ii. NZ is one of only two places in the world where 1080 is used, I believe. It’s all to do with being ‘clean and green’.

I have not taken much interest in ‘Dirty Politics’ because I have had first-hand experience and already know everything is ‘dirty’ and corrupt, and is maintained [in the short term] via a continuous supply of fabrications and lies. Indeed, my view is that if the matter is being given coverage by the media it is fairly trivial. It’s the things which are not being covered by the media you have to look out for.
I hope that explains why there is no hope and why I am loathe to even go to town for the next few weeks. That said, last week I did confront Andrew Little, the ‘Labour’ candidate, who bought a copy of ‘The Easy Way’ and with whom I had discussion about peak oil, Ponzi economics and abrupt climate change, and pointed out that he was a lair and a charlatan, and that it was the betrayal of the people of NZ by his party that set NZ on its current disastrous consumeristic path. He ran, as they all do, when confronted with the truth."
