No Health Emergency
Ralf Wurzbacker
2021-05-21 12:05 PM

Eric Posner

The Perpetrator-Victim Reversal
Liane Kilinc
2021-05-16 5:10 PM
The West refuses to give the Red Army credit for Germany's liberation from fascism - instead, it diligently stokes the Cold War with Russia. France and West Germany were liberated by the landing of the Western Allies in Normandy - but all of Eastern Europe must have shaken off the yoke of Nazism all by itself. (text/plain)

Why Karl Polanyi Still Matters
David Bollier
2021-05-15 8:38 PM
In The Great Transformation (1944), Karl Polanyi explains why the economy must be embedded in society and society must not be embedded in the economy. He describes land, labor and money as "fictitious commodities" since they cannot be multiplied and created on the market. (text/plain)

The Ethics & Language of Lockdown. How the intended solution became the problem
Alberto Giubilini
2021-05-10 11:03 AM
Long term restrictions like lockdowns are self-defeating...It was inevitable that, at some point, issues of intergenerational justice would be raised, given there is only so much you can ethically ask the majority of people to sacrifice to protect a small minority. Such unfairness is an under-appreciated ethical problem. (text/plain)

Stolen childhood and The language of violence
Stefan Hockertz, Marco Schott & Susan Bonath
2021-04-30 7:42 AM
To make the hospitals fit for the "pandemic of the century", the government did nothing... The population will suffer in every respect - with one lockdown after another, inadequate health care, increasing impoverishment and lack of prospects, and presumably with endless depression. (text/plain)
Welcome to a `systemic risk'
Serge Halimi
2021-04-28 4:55 PM
In fact, the US has just passed one of the most progressive laws in its history. It departs from the economic strategies of the past few decades, which have favored capital income — of both ‘innovators’ and rentiers — and increasingly left the working class behind (text/plain)
Post-democratic Capitalism
Colin Crouch
2021-04-27 6:30 PM
The fact that money can buy political influence is a central problem for democracy. All citizens are equal in terms of their voting rights, but not in terms of their wealth - this is one of the great unsolved challenges of liberal systems of government. (text/plain)
The Invention of Reality and the Second Phase
Konrad Gruettner
2021-04-25 5:24 PM
Being human thus becomes an unsolvable task in the technocratic society... An immense pressure to conform can arise in a technocratic society, since the devaluation of the subjective is accompanied by a suppression of needs, which, when an entire population is affected, leads less to rebelliousness than to social conformity.

The continued false alarm
Sucharit Bhakdi and Karina Reiss
2021-04-23 11:33 AM
In the past, a pandemic could only be declared if a new pathogen caused many deaths worldwide. In 2009, the WHO changed the definition in time for the swine flu fake pandemic so that the criteria of "new" and "worldwide spread" were sufficient. (text/plain)

Ullrich Mies
2021-04-22 12:37 AM
Humanity is at the final crossroads of becoming aware of the drama of the ecological and peace crisis in which it finds itself. The book "The Eco-Catastrophe" is a wake-up call to take note of the seriousness of the situation, to accept the Herculean tasks ahead, to understand the growth ideology of global capitalism.

Abolish the police!
Jacob Reimann
2021-04-21 2:03 PM
We need to put money into housing initiatives, addiction and violence prevention programs, community centers and mental health infrastructures - and in parallel, dismantle the police step by step. We need to develop alternative structures for how we deal with violence as a society. (text/plain)

Heribert Prantl and Tobias Riegel
2021-04-18 10:51 AM
Democracy lives from criticism and protest.
The Weimar Family Court has banned two schools from requiring students to wear masks and take Corona tests - because the children would be harmed "physically, psychologically, pedagogically and in their psychosocial development." (text/plain)
The Corona New Speak
Markus Vollack
2021-04-17 10:10 PM
The virus as enemy and subject A very conspicuous phenomenon for rhetorically evading any political responsibility is, on the one hand, to shift it to the population by dutifully supporting and participating in all measures and, on the other hand, to speak of the virus as an acting subject bearing responsibility.

Waltraud Lang
2021-04-16 10:40 AM
How apt are the words of Friedrich Schiller: "The world loves to blacken the radiant and to drag the sublime into the dust". And further he writes: "But fear not! There are still beautiful hearts that glow for the high, the glorious" (text/plain)
