Trump at the inner barrier of capital What does Donald Trump want?... The economic uncertainty caused by Trump's protectionism is considered by economists to be an important factor that could contribute to an economic slowdown or even recession in the US. Companies and corporations cannot make reliable calculations, trade between the US and China has largely come to a standstill, and supply bottlenecks are almost inevitable....

The handover of power Capitalism as a death cult animated by the fetishism of capital, as a secular religion demanding human sacrifice, comes into its own here. Through suffering, through sacrifice—preferably of the weakest and most vulnerable members of society—Germany is to regain the favor of capital in its contradiction-driven momentum as an automatic subject....

Fighting the oligarchs The corruption of the Trump administration and the Republicans' planned cuts in social spending provide ample ammunition for Sanders' populist criticism of the power of the wealthy; at the same time, he warns that Trump wants to transform US democracy into an “authoritarian society,” fueling the enthusiasm of Democratic voters and the party's activist base....

How the state protects the super-rich Behind the façade of regulatory rhetoric, a system has established itself that protects wealth, organizes redistribution to the top, and systematically undermines democratic influence. We are experiencing a system that serves the interests of a financially powerful minority – not the common good....

Neoliberal Gospel, Hollow Progressivism, Right-Wing Populism: the Misery of our Times The impasse is complete and the disaffection is widespread. They are primarily due to the decline of the left and will only be overcome when it finds its bearings again, by tackling economic, social, and political dysfunctions head-on, drawing convincing analyses, and outlining an innovative social project for the community. The conditions call for such a transformation....

Between knowledge and delusion Just as a cult can only exist through its believers, every conspiracy, large or small, needs believers. The cult needs people who are faithful, inauthentic, & unfree. By identifying with the conspiracy, I become its victim. There is hardly any room left for my vision of the “good life” because I feel controlled and dependent on circumstances....

MAGA, Trump, and the question of fascism in the US Since the early 1990s, right-wing militias had been increasingly visible in public, especially after the 1995 right-wing terrorist attack in Oklahoma City. The Republican stablishment saw the radical right as a tool it believed it could control while opening the doors to power. As it turned out, the monster they had created soon turned against them....

Debate – Are we heading for a new 1933? The rise of the new hard right is a product of the regime of the neoliberal “extreme center.” This has marginalized the political representation of social issues, or rather, of socio-ecological issues, while the dismantling of the welfare state for which it is responsible has increased social inequality. This was and is the dismantling of democracy....

Expertocracies unmasked According to Ivan Illich, when individual contours become blurred and people are seen only as stereotyped students, consumers, clients, or patients, there is a threat of the dissolution of privacy, which he once described as “disempowerment by experts.”

The hegemon at an impasse China's strength lies in the broad industrial base that the country has built up over the past decades, making it the world's largest producer of goods.

Letters to the editor on International Law “Double standards in their most bizarre form” occur when comparing the wars between Russia and Ukraine and Israel and Iran. International law knows no exceptions or special rules, but is very clear on the prohibition of violence. Those who denounce Russia's violation of international law should not remain silent about Israel's violation of international law....

Why don't we listen to warnings? The horizonless society Donald Trump’s recent cuts in the Department of Health and Human Services—which canceled key programs from child support services to prevention of disease outbreaks—are meant to strengthen a horizonless society, that is, one without institutions, guarantees, and authorities...

From hegemon to blackmailer Globalized capitalism and free trade are by no means a wonderfully functioning economic system that increases prosperity for all, but rather an irrational and crisis-prone order that primarily produces losers. Trump's policies are a symptom, not a cause, of the crisis of globalized capitalism....

Why are the Lambs Silent?? Only when we overcome our induced moral apathy, when we are not satisfied with the illusion of being informed, the illusion of democracy and the illusion of freedom do we have a chance of escaping these manipulation techniques. This is not an easy challenge but we have no other choice. The decision is ours....

The Fragility of Power (John Holloway) The TINA principle (“There is no alternative”) is linked to a way of thinking that sees politics as determined by unavoidable constraints and can only conceive of maxims for action within a given framework of capitalist order. The power of the powerful does not last forever; it will have to bow to the power of the one who saves and liberates the oppressed....
