… instead over the past 25 years it has been the left’s project that has collapsed – Published on The Guardian, by Paul Mason, July 17, 2015.
(my comment: maybe capitalism ends, but it was only the tool to submit us … ending a tool is NOT ending automatically any submission, it may become even worse – Heidi).

… If you lived through all this, and disliked capitalism, it was traumatic. But in the process technology has created a new route out, which the remnants of the old left – and all other forces influenced by it – have either to embrace or die. Capitalism, it turns out, will not be abolished by forced-march techniques. It will be abolished by creating something more dynamic that exists, at first, almost unseen within the old system, but which will break through, reshaping the economy around new values and behaviours. I call this postcapitalism.   Continuer la lecture de « the end of capitalism has begun … »

Greece’s lesson for Russia, and for China and Iran, is to avoid all financial relationships with the West. The West simply cannot be trusted. Washington is committed to economic and political hegemony over every other country and uses the Western financial system for asset freezes, confiscations, and sanctions. Countries that have independent foreign policies and also have assets in the West cannot expect Washington to respect their property rights or their ownership. Washington freezes or steals countries’ assets, or in the case of France imposes multi-billion dollar fines, in order to force compliance with Washington’s policies. Iran, for example, lost the use of $100 billion, approximately one-fourth of the Iranian GDP, for years simply because Iran insisted on its rights under the Non-Proliferation Treaty.   Continuer la lecture de « Greece’s Lesson For Russia »

… 24 nations are currently facing a debt crisis – Published on Activist Post (first on Economic Collapse, May 17), by Michael Snyder, July 16, 2015.

There has been so much attention on Greece in recent weeks, but the truth is that Greece represents only a very tiny fraction of an unprecedented global debt bomb which threatens to explode at any moment.

As you are about to see, there are 24 nations that are currently facing a full-blown debt crisis, and there are 14 more that are rapidly heading toward one.   Continuer la lecture de « the bankruptcy of the planet accelerates »

(zuerst mein Kommentar: alle Sprecher machen den gleichen Fehler, sie diskutieren innerhalb von rechtlich abgesicherten Abläufen. Aber spätestens seit diesem Interview, Yanis Varoufakis full transcript: our battle to save Greece, on New Statesman, by Harry Lambert, July 13, 2015, kann jeder wissen, dass sich die Gesprächpartner der Griechen überhaupt nicht um bestehende rechtliche Absicherung kümmern – während alle linken und sonstigen ‘Gutmenschen’ sich noch innerhalb von ‘Recht’ definieren und damit Handlungsspielraum abgeben – Heidi).

Understanding the Defeat, Means Preparing a Victory – The Greek Dilemma and Us – Published on The Bullet, Socialist Project’s E-Bulletin No. 1144, by Blockupy Goes Athens, July 16, 2015 (first appeared in German in the blog Blockup goes Athens/12. July 2015 – die Niederlage verstehen heisst den Sieg vorbereiten, das griechische Dilemma und wir … neun provisorische Überlegungen …).

Nine provisional considerations after both the popular Oxi and Syriza’s Yes to the Memorandum. This is being written after the vote in the Greek parliament and before the final decision of the Eurogroup (12 July). At the moment, everything is open, and we are certain of only a couple of things. Almost everything can change, but some things will remain true.
