The State as a Human Cage "Personal performance" always depends on the work of past generations and state interventions. What is done by the state could be done by the community. The 1% stylize inequality as a motor for innovation, growth and development. Exploding inequality is the end of public spirit and interdependence. Without the social contract, we become wolves to each other. Without sharing in health, education and the airwaves, we become objects instead of subjects....

We left a municipality in Michoacan, which is often confused in the mainstream media as part of the Tierra Caliente region, but is actually Sierra. We hear that there is going to be a negotiation with the state and federal government and autonomous self-defense groups in order to accord the legalization of the self-defense groups. We head to Tepacaltepec where the meeting is to be held. The scene is surreal to say the least, but so is eve...

Atrás queda una municipalidad de Michoacán que los medios masivos equivocan al ubicar en Tierra Caliente, en realidad nos encontramos en la Sierra Madre Sur Occidental. Nos avisan que hay una negociación entre el gobierno federal y estatal, y los grupos de autodefensa. Tomamos rumbo a Tepalcatepec, donde la reunión tendrá lugar. La escena es surreal, pero esto ya no nos sorprende porque todo en Michoacán es surreal estos días.
En lo qu...

Capitalism as a Secularized Religion Capitalism is a relatively young crisis-prone formation of society that gained acceptance a few centuries ago, not an eternal constant of human existence. Capitalism is a fetishist form of rule. People are ruled by abstract social structures as automatic subjects, not persons over persons. Capitalism turns out to be the most bloodthirsty sacrificial cult of humanity's history. Whole regions and economies are driven into collapse and massive impoverishment to pay for the debt arising out of...

Neoliberal Rollback Both Germany and the US seem locked into unsustainable models. The Alternative Economic Policy study group has been publishing memorandums for 20 years urging a radical change of course: from quantitative growth and environment destruction to qualitative growth, expansion of the public sector, shriveling of the financial sector, reducing working hours, infrastructure investment and higher taxation of the super-rich. What are the motors, models and myths that must be overcome or replaced?...
