Done a few things, made a few mistakes, leant a few things and realised how little I know. Going gently for the rest of my time here. But not necessarily going quietly.

In about three weeks, the government’s funding will run out. Democrats will face a choice: Join Republicans to fund a government that President Trump is turning into a tool of authoritarian takeover and vengeance or shut the government down.

Imagine if BBC spent as much time on the dangers of climate collapse as they do on immigration. Imagine the public response when they realise what the real danger is to our children & who is causing it. Instead of anger at refugees there’d be anger at oil companies, media bosses, politicians & BBC.

As an admirer of Paul Kingsnorth's work, I’m very pleased to be chairing an event in #Oxford in Nov, exploring his new book, Against The Machine, and how a force that's hard to name, but which we all feel, is reshaping what it means to be human.

Many people claim there is a natural connection between capitalism and democracy. Sometimes the two concepts are virtually fused together. I always find this odd because I value democracy, but there is nothing democratic about capitalism... jasonhickel.substack.com/p/why-capita...
Why capitalism is fundamentally undemocratic
The antidote is economic democracy.

As a German I will forever be grateful to all who fought for the liberation of Europe.
