The misunderstood class warrior Martin Luther King by Sylvie Laurent, 2018
Today, 50 years after his assassination, Martin Luther King is more glorified than ever. In his honour, the conservative US President Ronald Reagan had already introduced a national holiday in 1983. The memory of the social revolutionary was politically instrumentalized, … Continue reading

Extremely growing inequality destroys democracy by Albrecht Mueller, May 2020
When one percent have half of the wealth, mistrust and cynicism drown out public spirit and trust between the generations. A fair tax system means ending tax havens, micro-second trading, stock buybacks and insider trading. Schools, hospitals and community centers … Continue reading

Our normality is not returning by Adam Tooze
if the government’s response to the debt accumulated during the crisis is austerity, it will make the situation even worse. It is therefore right to call for a more active and visionary state policy that shows a way out of … Continue reading
Corona and the collapse of modernization by Roswitha Scholz and Herbert Bottcher, April 2020, exit-online.org
Corona is the trigger but not the cause of the worsening crisis situation. It will accelerate the disintegration of capitalism. Pragmatism and cooperation on an international scale are called for. Sometimes the state protects life and sometimes relaxes it in … Continue reading

The war metaphor in the Corona crisis by Johannes Hauer, May 2020
https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2020/05/17/18833096.php The revolution may become conceivable, but it has hardly been thought of so far. The contradictions of the “old world” are deepening, but the contours of a “new world” are not yet emerging, nor is the path to it. … Continue reading
We cannot repay the Corona debts by Heiner Flassbeck, May 2020
https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2020/05/15/18833047.php Now there are exactly two ways to revive the economy. The first and best option is to push back the neo-liberal agenda, strengthen the trade unions…If we do not succeed in pushing companies back into the role of debtors, … Continue reading
The welfare state – anchor of stability in the crisis
by Joseph Woss, 4/27/2020, awblog.at https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2020/05/11/18832972.php Work, income and wealth must be distributed more fairly, and a number of “rules of the game” in our society must be changed.
