'Neoliberal capitalism' has contributed to the rise of fascism, says Nobel laureate
  • "It is not the minimalist state advocated by libertarians, or even the highly constricted state envisioned by neoliberalism.

    "Rather, the answer is something along the lines of a rejuvenated European social democracy or a new American Progressive Capitalism, a twenty-first century version of social democracy or of the Scandinavian welfare state."

    80 years of cold war propaganda and we're just gonna pretend the other thing doesn't exist. "What is to be done?" 🤔

    It's been 80yrs of "socialism is when the government does stuff and the more stuff it does the more socialist it is". The average western brain is now thinking "hey maybe the government doing some stuff is actually good".

  • What is happening in US right now? Chance of civil war?
  • Non-citizens can't vote so the migrant issue will not help the democrats at the election. The migrants are being exploited for cheap labour.

    Edit: there have been more deportations under Biden than under Trump.

  • NSFW
    [CW: Reactionary content including racism, antisemitism, sexism, bigotry etc] My cousin became completely deranged, is there anything to be done?
  • Sounds like he is trying to be an edgy contrarian teenager given that he doesn't seem to have any specific belief other than whatever will cause the most outrage. The more you try to lecture him the more he will push back. Does he have many friends?

  • So many people still think its ok for them to do📱
  • To answer that question first we must understand why environmental activists and union organisers are targetted in the first place. Businesses make money polluting, clearing land etc. They also save money exploiting workers through poor workplace safety, terrible working conditions, low pay etc. It would be an impedance to capital to allow such individual in government to pass laws limiting profits.

    In our liberal democractic world, money wins, no matter what the will of the people is or what the long term outcomes are, the owning class wins every time. It's not as if people haven't tried voting for the right person in the past. In many countries there already exist Labour parties established by workers unions. Despite this, business interests always win. Sometimes they throw a few crumbs at the plebs to appease them but it's always big business that dominates.

    Another example, remember Barack Obama's election campaign in 2008? Change we can believe in? Then he enters the presidency and bails the banks out during the GFC and continued the war in Iraq. Coca cola hired paramilitaries to kill union organisers in Colombia. Biden campaigned on climate change action and then approved new gas piplines. I can go on and on.

    Answering your question is very hard to do in a short reply. There are many books written about the topic. I recommend the following video: https://youtu.be/fcImfx8tunI?si=FfAJzdCq2qFX2RlI

    Also, search the text "vote harder" in lemmygrad, it's a meme to mock liberals.

    Our Unravelling Civilization

    This video is about the big picture of our unravelling civilization.

    Ever increasing numbers of men, woman, and children are dying from extreme weather disruption consequences of our angry planet undergoing abrupt climate system mayhem.

    Many other humans, or rather “human animals”, according to the Israeli defence minister are being deliberately killed by bombs fired and dropped by angry people against other angry people.

    As soon as a government dehumanizes other people, they are setting up conditions for genocide on a large scale. Does Israel really mean to kill over 2 million people in the Gaza Strip. Yes? No? If no, then how many will satisfy their blood lust? 50,000? 100,000? What Palestinian to Israeli death ratio are they aiming for? What ratio will cause a northern attack on Israel? What ratio will cause other Arab countries in the Middle East to enter the fray? What ratio will cause Iran to fight? What ratio will satisfy the US and other western countries, and have them suddenly pivot from supporting genocidal massacre to becoming humanitarians? Lots of questions. I guess we will experience some answers over the coming weeks.

    Do the math. Without water, people die after a few days. Without food they wither away; just look at the Warsaw Ghetto in Poland. Without electricity, people are thrust back into the dark ages. When these poor souls are enclosed by a fence, with no ability to leave via land or sea, and are bombarded by one of the most powerful militaries the world has ever seen, and backed with unwavering support from the US, Canada, and other western powers expect a Gaza Holocaust. A Gaza Genocide. A Gaza Apartheid.

    We can no longer assume that cities knocked over today, whether it be by floods, superstorms, wildfire incineration, derechos, or wars, will ever be rebuilt. Even western cities like New York (remember Sandy) or New Orleans (remember Katrina); in fact every place in the world are not without risk.

    If you live in a nice house, in a nice neighbourhood, in a nice city and country anywhere on the planet count your blessings. Do not assume permanence. It does not take much to have everything you know turned to dust and ruin in the blink of an eye.

    When there is no longer any money or materials to rebuild destroyed places, people will move to other places. Over time, there becomes fewer of these “other places”. In fact, vast regions of our planet will be rendered completely uninhabitable by heat and drought.

    Civilizations around the planet are in rapid decline, and collapse occurs as “death by a thousand cuts”, not all at once, simultaneously. Anyone with open eyes and half a brain can see that happening, before their very eyes, today.
