This is one of my favorite photos - it shows collaboration between 3 of the most important Black leaders of the 20th century. Anna Arnold Hedgeman is often cropped out -- yet she was as influential as Malcolm X and A Philip Randolph. Here, she's identified as Rosa Parks! Please, learn your history!

Trump 2.0's attack on universities and gutting of funding for research is nothing less than an attempt to create a new episteme, one that replaces research and experts with "do your own research" influencers and scams.

Ghassan Kanafani’s words still cut like a blade. Decades later, his vision of anti-colonial resistance speaks directly to Gaza’s fight for survival today.

Löhne werden gedrückt und im Sozialstaat wird gekürzt, um die Volkswirtschaft zu sanieren. Dabei war Austeritätspolitik nie ein taugliches Mittel dafür. Aber was, wenn ihr Zweck in Wirklichkeit ein anderer ist? Das diskutieren Clara Mattei und Daniel Witzani-Haim.
Austerität bewahrt die Ordnung des Kapitals | Buchpremiere in Wien mit Clara Mattei
Seit mehr als einem Jahrhundert greifen Regierungen in Krisenzeiten auf die Methoden der Austerität zurück: Sie kürzen im Sozialstaat und drücken die Löhne, um die Volkswirtschaft zu sanieren. Dabei war diese Politik nie ein taugliches Mittel, um ihr erklärtes Ziel zu erreichen. Aber was, wenn ihr Zweck in Wirklichkeit ein anderer war und ist? Das diskutierten die Ökonomin Clara Mattei und der Ökonom Daniel Witzani-Haim. Der BEIGEWUM, die Arbeiterkammer Wien, transform! Europe und das Jacobin Magazin luden am 28.03.2025 zur Buchpräsentation „Führt Austeritätspolitik zum Faschismus?“ ein. Unterstützt von attac Österreich und dem Brumaire Verlag.
