Movie Review: Ein Kontinent als Beute (A Continent As Booty)
"The historian Ganser blames US capital for the Greek state deficit, and Müller suggests that the Eurasian continent is dominated by the USA, and that NATO generals do everything possible to prevent German and Russian governments from talking to each other."...

The decline of the nation state
Neoliberalism, which set out to plunder the world in the 1980s with the maxim “Profit over People” and its political figureheads Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher, distorted almost all areas relevant to social coexistence beyond recognition. After the “victory” over the communist East, there was no stopping it. Financial capital spread like a cancer....

State child care in Greece and Croatia
In Quebec, and elsewhere, parents often prefer the government-subsidized centers for a number of reasons, not the least of which is the higher level of quality compared to the private centers, which aren’t subject to the same level of government regulations as the CPEs....

Our passive society
The attack to destroy organized labor and the whole New Deal system occurred. After the upsurge of protest in the 1960s and early ’70s against the corporatist regime of centrist liberalism, the most reactionary sectors of big business launched a massive count counterattack which, as we know, has been wildly successful....

Forward to the 1930s?
A look back makes the outlook easier: A speculative boom in 1929 leads to a stock market crash and recession, the budget deficit increases, the austerity policies drive the economy into a depression. Tensions within and between countries increase, scapegoats are sought, anti-Semitism and protectionism are spreading....

Solidarity for the Community of Squatted Prosfygika in Athens (Greece)
Dear Comrades,
There is urgent financial support needed for the Community of Squatted Prosfygika in Alexandras Avenue in Athens. The current situation has been bad and will change for the worst. Imperialist wars, fascist regimes and global capitalism are growing stronger in different territories, millions of people on the move get trapped and killed by the Greek and European Border regime, exploitation of landscapes and natural resources are pushing the climate catastrophe. These forces ar...

How can we regain peace and how can we keep it?
There is no doubt that Mahatma Gandhi is right. Peace does not come from the motivation of fear, on the contrary, only from the strength of one’s own person; through loyalty to oneself, and through the courage to have one’s own conscience. In Indian: Satyagraha (persistent adherence to the truth), “think for yourself” Kant would have said, “remain yourself.”...

We are Zombies
Zombie movies are an apocalyptic genre, in which there is an inkling that the given social order cannot last & has reached its development limits. The first great wave of zombies hit the Western culture industry during the crisis period of the seventies of the 20th century, when the "Golden Age" of post-war capitalism, full employment and mass consumption, came to an end....

The war cannot be won
The Jean Jaurès maxim, "Capitalism carries war like the cloud carries rain," is more relevant than ever. Only in another - post-capitalist, social-ecological - Europe, from the Atlantic to the Urals, can peace and justice become a reality. Whether this is a realistic scenario? That is up to each and every one of us....

Welcome to post-democracy!
In the current systemic crisis, this capitalist pseudo-democracy is producing a real dystopia on a par with the nightmares of George Orwell and Aldous Huxley: the apparently responsible citizen (in reality a powerless object in the heteronomous process of capital exploitation) chooses the way in which his intensified exploitation and alienation is to be concretely organized and perfected....

The Great Leap Backwards
Scoop, the swami from Miami, addressed KFOG listeners as fogheads. The United States would be much better off without the self-appointed burden of keeping the world “safe” and “free” with the threat of our nuclear weapons. Also, as our economic growth slows down, we would use less energy and have less need for nuclear and coal power plants that pollute the environment....
