A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.

Definitely no right side here
That’s the case of the Chinese government and its industrial espionage laws against China-based managers for global mining polluter and exploiter Rio Tinto. Yes, Chinese laws can be manipulated by the government to either force the private companies to give up proprietary knowledge themselves, or to be used as a shakedown, but, on the other hand, this IS Rio Tinto. So, in this tragicomedy, I’m sure we have plenty of errors.
