Αυτές οι γερμανικές ομοσπονδιακές εκλογές μόνο ως ένα αρνητικό παράδοξο μπορούν να χαρακτηριστούν: Ταυτόχρονα ασήμαντες – με την έννοια ότι θα καταλήξουν σε μια άλλη παραλλαγή του ίδιου, σχεδόν μόνιμου, συνασπισμού Χριστιανοδημοκρατών και Σοσιαλδημοκρατών, ίσως με μια μικρή δόση ψευδο-Πράσινων – τον ίδιο δηλαδή συνασπισμό που έβαλε τη Γερμανία στο δρόμο προς την συνεχόμενη αποτελμάτωση.

On Sunday, Germany goes to the polls. The least significant result is that we shall have a new Chancellor: Mr Friedrich Mertz, the leader of the Christian Democrats, who will most likely receive double the votes of the unpopular incumbent social democratic Chancellor Mr Olaf Scholz, a politician destined either to return to a new […]

Friends, Germans, citizens from all over, sisters and brothers. We once had a dream. It was the dream of what Europe could have been: Not a single market, a single currency or a common budget. No, we dreamt of Europe as a Peace with Justice Project. That dream has gone, it evaporated in the cold […]

Michael and I chatted about Trump’s tariffs, emphasising the need to see them as political tools that standard neoliberal economics can never fathom. On the ongoing genocide in Gaza, we discussed Trump’s ‘final real estate solution’ envisaging a Palestine without Palestinians – the Zionist’s wet dream.

Shortly after the Gaza ceasefire deal was signed, I had the pleasure of a conversation with Francesca Albanese, the UN Rapporteur on Palestine. The occasion was MeRA25’s National Convention (Jan 2025) where this video was screened. Enjoy our conversation and, in particular, Francesca’s inimitable capacity to talk like a dispassionate lawyer and, at once, a […]

DeepSeek, a Chinese artificial intelligence (AI) company, this week changed the global AI landscape, not to mention caused $1 trillion losses in the New York stock exchange and the NASDAC. In the process, it demonstrated the difference between cloud capital, which drives technofeudalism onward and upward, and AI-services, which were always a bubble waiting to […]
