The dominance of cars is wavering The protection of health, life, and climate protection are public welfare goals, and the referendum is admissible. The arguments are compelling: 29,000 people have died on Germany's roads in the last ten years, and road safety and infrastructure cost society billions every year. The boom in SUVs and off-road vehicles contributes to the growth of global greenhouse gas emissions....

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. This position is supported by extensive supply chains and established trade relations with almost all countries in the world....

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....

Capitalism is not what you think it is The freedom of the free market has never been particularly great... Instead of living in the freedom promised by free markets, we live in a global world consisting of a few large corporations, financial institutions, states, and supranational associations. A world characterized by ubiquitous, centralized planning....

Attacks on Iran and International Law Under international law, states are fundamentally obliged to treat each other peacefully. The legal basis for this can be found in the Charter of the United Nations (UN).
UN members may not simply attack other UN members militarily. There is only one exception to this prohibition of force: the right to self-defense....

The foolish rulers “Imagine what will happen when the war comes and no one goes” (Carl Sandburg). When will the peoples of the world finally rise up against the folly of their rulers? This question applies not only to totalitarian systems, but also to the self-appointed political ruling elites in indirect (parliamentary) democracies, which are nothing more than spectator democracies after election night....

It's about interests, not morality! He is the only one who can protect Israel, says Benjamin Netanyahu. But isn't he protecting himself above all else? The prime minister is on trial for corruption and abuse of office, and the domestic intelligence service is investigating him for breach of confidentiality. Netanyahu is therefore fighting just as fiercely at home as he is abroad....

The country that can do anything Israel is plunging into a war with Iran under flimsy pretexts, and its
Western allies are guilty of complicity...Now Israel, which has been engaged in a war of self-defense all over the world for decades, has escalated its latent war of assassinations, sabotage, and military strikes wherever they may be into an open war against Iran....

The Israeli right-wing government attacks Iran The humanitarian situation there is contrary to international law, with Israel refusing to allow aid supplies to enter for months. The current strike against Iran can be seen as an attempt to complete or at least advance a reorganization of the Middle East in Israel's interests....

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....

The Middle East in flames The situation in the Middle East is escalating once again. With an attack on Iran that violates international law, Israel has lit the fuse on a powder keg that now seems ready to explode. Since then, the countries have been at war. However, this conflict has been in the making for some time and ultimately serves the geopolitical and economic interests of the US....

The greatest threat to Israel Looking at Israel, one can be amazed at how infallible and confident of victory this country considers itself to be. Not because of Iran's nuclear program or Palestinian resistance, but because of the blind, arrogant hubris that has gripped an entire nation....

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....

Steve Keen: Growth must come from within first The welfare state is the first thing to be cut when growth stagnates. The state must do both: invest and consume – which also means
financing pensions, healthcare, etc. Social spending is often
dismissed as an unnecessary luxury. But what happens if you let
pensioners starve or abandon the elderly? You risk poverty and social upheaval – and that has political consequences....
