Free Mumia & Stop Racist Police Murders! For General Strikes To Stop Racist Terror & Murders
The UFCLP calls for mass worker/labor actions including general strikes to Free Mumia Abu-Jamal and racist police terror and murder.

Critique of Religion and Market Religion and Post-colonialism
Critique of religion as critique of fetishism is a critique of earthly gods, which are false gods. "Man is the highest being for man." Marx develops it further in other words and formulates his idea of the liberation of man in the Communist Manifesto. There he says: "In place of the old bourgeois society with its classes and class antagonisms comes...the free development of all. "...

Who can afford capitalism anymore? and Why are prices rising?
When the state now debates the need to create relief packages for employees, pensioners, unemployment benefit recipients, trainees and families, this is official confirmation that the result of wage labor is also poverty. The majority of citizens, however, find themselves in a dual role in the market economy: as workers & as King Customer, they are supposed to buy, to return the money....

The music monument: Working class hero
As soon as you're born they make you feel small,
By giving you no time instead of it all,
Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all.
A working class hero is something to be,
They hurt you at home and they hit you at school,
They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool....

Pandemic and the Policy Roots of a Steady State Economy
We are in the midst of a radical disruption and nurturing the roots of a just transition. Whichever way events unfold over the coming years, it’s clear that returning to the pre-pandemic status quo is less realistic and more difficult than embracing the change that’s well underway.

The thought matrix expands
Who has followed the change of the Internet over the last 10 years carefully, will agree with me that the at the beginning very wide spectrum of knowledge, which was available to one in the www, became thinner and thinner and more and more limited.

Total Competition or Repressive Administration of People
An awareness of the monstrosities of our glorious capitalist society is the first prerequisite for thinking beyond that society.
One should always remind oneself:..The regularities of capitalist society are not laws of nature, so they can be abolished in principle. With such abolition, a new society can become possible....

The lure of unreason and The crisis profiteers
The essence of transhumanism is pathological. This ideology is carried by psychopaths and narcissists. Such people love only themselves, their infallibility and uniqueness. And this is reflected in their visions and goals, which they approach without any scruples. The others are only mass. Mass is despised by "the unique"....

95 Theses Against the Rule of the Financial Markets

As the selling of indulgences led to Martin Luther's 95 Theses in 1517, the dominance of speculative financial markets has led to revenue shortfalls of US cities and states. Tax havens hide between $22 trillion and $33 trillion according to the Tax Justice Network....

Myths of the Crisis and Enemy Images in the Media
The Ukrainian ambassador was quoted in the FAZ as saying: "All Russians are now our enemies". One may understand him personally, but this rhetoric is classic enemy image cultivation. After all, there are also Russians who reject Putin's war of aggression or are brave enough to protest against it. This homogenization is pre-Enlightenment and always wrong....

We live in a time of real militaristic orgies of war and rearmament, not only in Ukraine, Russia and Yemen, also in the US airbase Ramstein in Rhineland-Palatinate and elsewhere.
