Merz will den wirtschaftspolitischen #Epochenbruch. Das darf nicht unwidersprochen bleiben! Damit der Widerspruch gehört wird, brauchen "Kritische Stimmen zu Wirtschaft und Krise" Reichweite. go.bsky.app/EgVmLkA Helft mit und verbreitet das Starter Pack. Mit dabei sind... (🧵)

Europa und die USA haben sich mit dem Klimakollaps abgefunden oder driften in Richtung fossilen Autoritarismus. Es ist Zeit, dass Klimabewegte und Linke eine gemeinsame Erzählung entwickeln, erzählt @matthiasschmelzer.bsky.social im Dissens Podcast @lukasondreka.bsky.social

Interesting: @brusselermel.bsky.social calling for "a new era of green economic planning" @financialtimes.com www.ft.com/content/dda5... Important addition: let's make sure planning is democratic and relinquishes reliance on green growth. h/t @danielagabor.bsky.social

As if Big Oil was merely reacting to the green transition not actively preventing it. This is very bad news www.ft.com/content/8675...

No matter how often I see this data, I always find it shocking. Of all the massive growth in output produced by the world's workers since 1980, more than half of it has been captured by the richest 1%. This is what happens when capital controls production.

We have enough productive capacity to ensure good lives for 8 billion. And yet, because capital controls production, deprivation remains endemic. This new study shows *95%* of surveyed households in low/middle-income countries are denied access to basics. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Morgen! Ich freue mich schon :-) #postwachstum #degrowth #planning

Statement from the Lausanne Universities Collective for Academic Freedom, Solidarity and Democracy (CLADS) on the danger facing US research and researchers. What Trump is doing looks like a coup d'état and endangers democracy. clads.ch/en/us-resear...

Learn from Germany. When the left panders to anti-migrant sentiment, like the BSW, it just strengthens the far right. When the left fights solid, populist, grassroots campaigns, like Die Linke, it wins.

Once upon a time, the social democrats were the workers’ party in Germany. In the election today the extreme right AfD gained 3x more support from workers than the SPD.

In Germany, a far right party has the best result since WWII. 75% of AfD voters say they are very worried that prices are rising so much that they can’t pay their bills. Inflation once more fueled the extreme right.

The young vote in Germany, by gender. 😳

How popular are post-growth and post-capitalist ideas? Here is a list of studies, surveys and polls with some striking results. jasonhickel.substack.com/p/how-popula...

Warum denken wir beim Wort "Wirtschaftswunder" immer nur an Wirtschaftswachstum? Das grössere Wunder wäre eine sozial gerechte, demokratische und ökologisch nachhaltige Wirtschaft, oder?

...Chapter 13, in which Elena Hoffeberth, @matthiasschmelzer.bsky.social and @cedricdurand.bsky.social argue that the idea of degrowth necessitates planning, but that the synergy between both hasn't been explored yet. For that they suggest a model that brings both together. Followed by...16/21
