Austerity as a precursor to fascism Austerity offers the best conditions for generating high profits, while the majority of the population—those who are politically underrepresented—are condemned to abandon any plans or ambitions for democratizing the economy. Low wages and constant austerity measures force them into a “hard life.”...

Victory over Hitler “Studies on the history of the German-Soviet war all too often ignore the simple fact that (!) the German invasion of the USSR on June 22, 1941, was primarily motivated by economic objectives, namely to conquer ‘living space in the East,’” writes historian Rolf-Dieter Müller. Joseph Goebbels declared that it was a “war for grain and bread, for a fully stocked breakfast, lunch, and dinner"...

Trump's Protectionist Trade Policy The White House is currently destroying the US hegemonic system established in the post-war period, as the US can no longer bear the costs of this hegemony, or is no longer willing to do so. Instead, Trump is setting out to build a US empire that no longer relies on a global network of institutions and rules to exercise power, but will presumably assert itself through direct, ultimately military force....

Geneva and the crisis at the UN Doctors Without Borders, the UN refugee agency UNHCR, and the International Labor Organization ILO are all based in Geneva.

Defend Trade Union Swedish Rights-Support Dockworker Erik Helgeson! The dismissal of Swedish Dockworkers Union (SDU) spokesperson and national deputy chair Erik Helgeson is a blatant act of retaliation for the union’s legally-sanctioned boycott of military cargo to and from Israel. This dismissal represents an attack on trade union rights, freedom of speech, and the democratic decision made by dockworkers across Sweden....

Economy: A Good Life Instead of a Profit Machine Society decides on proportions that are relevant for the whole
country. These exist, for example, between work and consumption,
between public services or public goods and private consumption, and between the requirements for efficiency at work and the development of human skills in the workplace....

Made in America is harder than expected Building more roads, modernizing seaports, improving airports and

Accomplices Those who conform, go with the flow, and say little in opposition rise to the top. Those who are not yet sufficiently conformist are corrupted. A great deal of lobbying is carried out to bring members of parliament into line and make them vote the way they want them to. Then the revolving door starts turning, so that after their political career, they get a comfortable, warm, and well-paid job....

The Trump Shock. How should governments respond? The President of the United States has set fire to the global trading
system and is now sitting back, seemingly calm in the face of the
conflagration that has engulfed the global economy.
Donald Trump's actions show that he has not really understood how dangerous his attempt to change the world order is....

Ex-millionaire warns: "Excessive wealth is one of the greatest dangers of our time." "A lot of money makes you lonely. It disconnected me from the
world to a certain extent. Many rich people talk about their mistrust
that those around them only want their money. You're constantly
preoccupied with money, with material things."
“It's not right that average earners pay more taxes than the wealthy” Sebastian Klein...

Capitalism 2.0 It is conceivable that capitalism 2.0 will conserve natural resources more than it has done in the centuries since the First Industrial Revolution, and that patriarchy will come to an end. As long as it continues to exist, however, the following will remain, even under these changed conditions: profit maximization, periodic overaccumulation, crises, and wars....

Agent Orange is now #1 Crow-eater Less than 1 month after POTUS 47 declared "Liberation Day" and boasted that he will--via his tariffs-on-steroids!--win a trade war with China, he has just admitted that the tariffs(up to 245%!) are "too high." Duh, it doesn't take an Einstein to know that all parties lose in a trade war. Especially with Donald's gang of clueless economic gurus, they quickly learned that America is much more dependent on China than the other way around....

Trump’s Inverted View of America’s Tariff History Without restructuring the rentier financialized economy to move it back toward the original business plan of industrial capitalism,...his program will fail to re-industrialize America. Indeed, it threatens to push the U.S. economy into depression – for 90 percent of the population, that is....

Trump's tariff spasm: a serious misunderstanding of capital interests The international financial markets have already reacted: stock prices plunged worldwide, as did gas and oil prices – the latter despite an unchanged supply situation. The 15% decline within a few days indicates that the markets are expecting a decline in demand – in other words, a global recession. All the tariffs were reduced to a maximum 10%....

Now is the best time for a reduction in working hours The legal definition of full-time work dates from 1975 and is thus almost 50 years old. The world has changed dramatically since then: where people used to type on a typewriter and send letters by post, digital exchanges now take place in real time. Where products used to be put together piece by piece by hand, highly automated manufacturing processes now run....

Trump, tariffs and the stock market Today, the US is trying to regain its lost strength through protectionism. By raising tariffs, the US is admitting that it has lost its once superior competitive advantage. But it is questionable whether the recipe will work again in today's different situation....
