Während #Meloni und Co. der zivilen #Seenotrettung in #Italien mit militärischer Spionagesoftware zu Leibe rücken, retten sie kriminelle Ausländer per Regierungsflieger vor dem #IStGH. #Malta lässt derweil Flüchtende trotz klarer Aufforderung der UN auf einer Bohrinsel sitzen.
Seit der Drucklegung meines Buches sind rund ums #Mittelmeer schon wieder einige komplett irre Geschichten passiert. Ich hab sie in einem Update für #Jacobin.de zusammengefasst: https://jacobin.de/artikel/sommer-der-migration-seenotrettung
#Jacobin: "#JeffBezos has finally dropped the pretense. The world’s third-richest man has decreed that the #WashingtonPost, which he purchased back in 2013, will no longer publish opinions that challenge free market economics. With a casual diktat that would make William Randolph Hearst blush, #Bezos has laid bare what critics have long suspected: when #billionaires buy #newspapers, they aren’t just after profitable investments — they’re buying ideological bodyguards."

Today in Labor History February 12, 1889: Antonín Dvořák's Jakobín premiered at the National Theater in Prague. The three-act opera was one of Dvořák's peasant operas. Marie Červinková-Riegrová wrote the libretto, based on the story "At the Ducal Court," by Alois Jirásek. In the story, the Count disowns his son, Bohuš, for his alleged ties with the French Revolutionaries known as Jacobins.
Liberale und Konservative liefern Österreich lieber den Rechtsextremen aus, als Zugeständnisse im Sozialbereich zu machen. Damit zeigen sie erneut, was Linke schon immer wussten: Hinter dem Faschismus steht das Kapital.
Lektüreempfehlung zur Gründung des #DGB vor rund 75 Jahren und der Geschichte der #Gewerkschaft|en in der deutschen Nachkriegszeit.

Schaut gerne bei der #Jacobin Unterstützerkampagne vorbei. Linke Medien sind gerade jetzt besonders nötig.
Eine sehr gute Frage.
Zumal die #Kurden ja unsere Verbündeten waren (sind?) und jetzt von einem #NATO Bündnispartner angegriffen werden.
Aber Kriegsschiffe in Richtung China schicken, und sich als #UNIFIL Mandat von Israel beschießen lassen geht ja auch.

Meiner Meinung nach eine sehr treffende Beschreibung der aktuellen Neuausrichtung der Grünen. Die progressiven Kräfte wurden größtenteils aus der Partei gedrängt und jetzt beginnt das Anbandeln mit Merz und Linnemann.
Hauptsache mitregieren.

Today in Labor History November 23, 1760: French revolutionary Francois-Noel Babeuf was born on this date in St. Quentin, France. Babeuf was proto-anarchist revolutionary, who formed a secret society during the time of the French Revolution, known as the Conspiracy of the Equals, that plotted to overthrow the revolutionary government, and replace it with one that was truer to Jacobin ideals. The group included Sylvain Maréchal, Jacques Roux, Jean Varlet and others. Specifically, they called for a society with absolute equality, through the collectivization of all lands and the means of production, and putting an end to all poverty, at least for citizens of France. They also called for the abolition of private property and equal access to food, demands that resonated heavily among the impoverished French population, who were suffering from hunger during the economic crisis that followed the Revolution. By early April, 1796, half a million Parisians were in need of relief. And people began singing Babeuf’s song, Mourant de faim, mourant de froid ("Dying of Hunger, Dying of Cold"), in the cafés.
Throughout his life, Babeuf advocated for the poor and for the abolition of private property. He said "Society must be made to operate in such a way that it eradicates once and for all the desire of a man to become richer, or wiser, or more powerful than others."
#DonaldTrump's recent electoral victory, securing a clear popular majority, challenges the application of the "fascism" label to his political movement. The #Jacobin article argues that interpreting #Trumpism through a fascist lens is misleading, as it overlooks the unique context of multiracial democracies and the evolving nature of authoritarianism.

Stating the obvious here, but it needs to be stated: America is not Hollywood. #Michigan is not #California. #Megadonors are not #grassroots. TBH I think #JoeBiden understood this. #HarrisWalz conspicuously didn't. And my fear is that Democratic leadership *still* don't get it. #USPol #Jacobin https://jacobin.com/2024/11/harris-democrats-election-spending-celebrities/

Rashid Khalidi on U.S. Support to #Israel, #PalestinianNationalMovement (II)
By world-outlook.com on October 19, 2024
In this interview, #RashidKhalidi, the #Palestinian American author of "The Hundred Years' War on #Palestine," discusses two key points — among other important ideas. The first concerns the U.S. role in enabling Israel’s brutal war in the region that has now spread far beyond the #Gaza Strip. The second is about the state of the Palestinian national movement.

Kamala #Harris’s campaign mirrors Hillary Clinton’s 2016 strategy, focusing on appealing to Republicans rather than energizing the progressive base.
Both campaigns reflect a complacent attitude, believing Trump’s unpopularity alone will secure a win.
While Harris presents some policy proposals, they seem less ambitious than Biden's past agenda, resulting in declining support. #jacobin #USelection

„Zweitens genossen diejenigen, die im Wahlkampf vor einer schnellen Einheit warnten, kein großes Ansehen. Selbst die hochgehandelte SPD landete bei für damalige Verhältnisse enttäuschenden 21,9 Prozent. Dahinter steckte ein Anliegen vieler nach einer zügigen Teilhabe am Konsumniveau der Bundesrepublik. Das sollte man nicht vorschnell verurteilen, sondern als eine Art soziale Forderung begreifen.“ https://www.jacobin.de/artikel/ostdeutschland-afd-wendeverlierer /via #jacobin #damals
