In light of Palestine's bid to gain UN membership, I wondered earlier today: why should UN membership be a matter only for Security Council approval? Or, at minimum, shouldn't the "Big Five" not be allowed their automatic vetoes on membership applications?
That way, the U.S. couldn't block Palestine, while at the same time, China couldn't block Taiwan.
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.
