This extract from an unfinished text by Angela Mitropoulos, posted on archive : s0metim3s (http://archive.blogsome.com/2007/08/07/indigenous-land/#comments), gives part of the historical background (which some European readers may have overlooked) to the current military-medical invasion of Aboriginal land in Australia's Northern Territory.  Most importantly, the text explains the concrete connection between intervention in the name of 'health' and 'education', the blackmailing of the 'economically inactive' into the 'job-seeking' reserve army, and the rush to extract resource rents from legally inalienable Aboriginal land.

From New Left Review (http://www.newleftreview.org/?page=article&view=2678) some solid statistical evidence -- particularly strong on intersections of national, municipal, private and foreign capital -- for a point that might have seemed to border on truism but apparently is not gasped in mainstream 'China studies: the expansion of Chinese industrial capitalism in the last 20 years can is broadly comparable to the same process in Europe and America in the 19th century, and speculation over notions like 'the paradoxes of market socialism' is useless.  (Anyone who doubted this should read Zola's Germinal  next to any journalistic account of migrant labour in Chinese coal mines.)  An earlier but more analytically developed account of some of the same phenomena, by Aufheben, can be found at: http://libcom.org/library/aufheben/aufheben-14-2006/welcome-to-the-chinese-century
The notion that 'state capitalism' is something specific to countries outside the 'Western' bloc is also usefully debunked by the excellent histories of Japanese and South Korean working class formation on the Echanges et Mouvement site: http://www.mondialisme.org/rubrique.php3?id_rubrique=3
