textWhy are the Lambs Silent?? by Rainer Mausfeld
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....

textSteve Keen: Growth must come from within first by Hans-Peter Roll
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....

textThe new, old enemy by Ulrich Heyden
New wave of xenophobia Today, Germany prides itself on its friendliness toward foreigners. But no sooner have migrants from Turkey and Africa become reasonably integrated and accepted than the next wave of xenophobia arrives, fueled since 2014 by politicians, major parties, and the mainstream media. The talk is about Russians and Russian culture in Germany....

textThe Fragility of Power (John Holloway) by Julia Lis
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....

textTake up the struggle for transformation by Tomasz Konicz
Capital not only fails to reconcile social and climate issues, but is also simply incapable of solving either the climate crisis or the social crisis due to its compulsion to exploit, fueled by escalating contradictions. Consequently, capital must be consigned to history....

textZionazis Attack Madleen With Chemical Weapons And Seize The Ship by National Scot; Mirror; Freedom Flotilla
Video footage from crew members onboard the Madleen shows a white substance being thrown onto the ship. The coalition described the substance as "irritant", with one crew member - Yasemin Acar - saying that it was "burning my eyes" in a video she shared on social media. The ship was unlawfully boarded, its unarmed civilian crew abducted, and its life-saving cargo—including baby formula, food and medical supplies—confiscated....

textAfter the bulldozer by Charles Eisenstein
The political revolution of 2024 will not be a revolution at all if it merely exchanges one Deep State for another, one deception for another, one enemy for another, Iran instead of Russia, one target group for dehumanization instead of another, trans people or immigrants instead of white men. The real revolution is a revolution of love. It is a revolution of peace. It is a revolution of healing....

textHope in Hopeless Times? by John Holloway
In the second book, Breaking Capitalism, I suggested thinking about revolution through the creation of cracks in capitalist domination – by recognizing, creating, expanding, multiplying and merging cracks. These cracks are spaces or moments in which we say no to the logic of money and create social relations on a different basis. These cracks are everywhere....

textThe system: turning money into more money by Bettina Dyttrich
The label “climate crisis” is not adequate to describe the dramatic changes that the planet and its inhabitants are undergoing. It is about something much more comprehensive. The climate justice movement recognized this early on: the cause lies in an economic system that is undermining its own foundations....

textNo end to the killing by Heinrich Frei
The unprecedented increase in military spending last year shows that it is assumed there will be more wars. That is why armament is being pursued according to the principle: “If you want peace, prepare for war.” Young people are to become “fit for war” again, and many countries are discussing the introduction of compulsory military service....

textThe so-called progress by Felix Feistel
There is no escape from the totalitarian movement of eternal progress on its own. Capitalism and the financial system behind it thrive on this pseudo-progress by constantly throwing new goods onto the so-called market—goods that no one has asked for, but which are forced upon people by a powerful propaganda machine called marketing....

textJohn Shelby Spong: Rescuing Jesus From Religion | Interview by John Shelby Spong
The Christian faith was born in the first century, when people didn’t know anything about germs or viruses or tumors. It was born in a world that people assumed was the center of a three-tiered universe [where] God lived just above the sky. God was understood quite anthropomorphically. None of those concepts make a lot of sense today....

textArrest of Agave Farmer Leaders Sparks Outcry Amid Tequila Industry Controversy by Eduardo Ruelas
Two prominent agave farmers, Julián Rodríguez Parra and Salvador Ibarra Landeros, were arrested yesterday in Tequila, Jalisco, following a peaceful protest against multinational tequila producers. The arrests come amid a growing legal battle in the United States. A federal class-action lawsuit filed in the Eastern District of New York accuses Diageo, the global spirits conglomerate, of adulterating its premium tequila brands, Casamigos and Don Julio, with non-agave alcohols....

textAusterity as a precursor to fascism by Claire Mattei
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.”...

textVictory over Hitler by Harald Neuber
“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"...

textTrump's Protectionist Trade Policy by Tomasz Konicz
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....

textDefend Trade Union Swedish Rights-Support Dockworker Erik Helgeson! by repost
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....
