If guaranteeing essentials sounds radical, it speaks to how far we have drifted from democracy‘s core promises. Markets will not beat back the far right. An antifascist economics might. Mamdani provides a playbook for democrats around the world. My latest

In 2008 our financial institutions collapsed under their weight of their incompetence and avarice. Rather than sending the people responsible to jail we bailed them out with taxpayer money and made massive spending cuts to pay for it. And we’ve NEVER recovered.

OK, a🧵: Our new paper studies workers' political consciousness in times of class demobilization. We show there's more to workers' politics than right-wing resentment. Listening to workers, we reconstruct their moral critiques of money, power & recognition. Link journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Statt damit die Zukunft zu gestalten, bedient sich die Bundesregierung am Klimafonds um Stromnetz und Klimastrafen zu finanzieren.

Economic liberalism and fascism often present themselves as opposites.. Yet, beneath their apparent contradictions lies a shared foundation, argues @nataschastrobl.bsky.social in the latest f&l blog piece! ➡️Find out more following the link below #fascism #flblog #liberalism #antifascisteconomics

I am speaking at a #KPÖ Vienna workshop on democratic economic planning on May 10th - Registration still open until Sunday! @kpoe.bsky.social

For the first time since WWII an extreme right party is #1 in the German polls. Anti-fascist economic policy is urgently needed. Instead the new coalition agenda entails: - cut profit tax - end 8 hr workday - open tap for defense, austerity for the rest - weaken social security

NEW: White House says the arrest and deportation of student activist & legal US resident, Mahmoud Khalil, is a blueprint for more. The final line here is chilling. The White House specifically says Khalil was not breaking the law. No evidence, no due process, no crime. He was just disappeared.

Vor einer Woche fuhr ein Neonazi in #Mannheim in eine Menschenmenge und ermordete zwei Menschen. Viele mehr wurden verletzt. Das Interesse der herrschenden Politik geht inzwischen gegen Null. Das Sicherheitsgefühl von Menschen ist egal, sobald die Täter weiße deutsche Neonazis sind.

It’s now official, in written words, the oligarchs want to exterminate the rest of us.
