China Mieville contra Perry Anderson:

“On immigration, socialist demands should include full labour and civic rights for migrants, full entitlement to benefits, unionisation across the economy, and an undoing of vulnerabilities that contribute to the super-exploitation of migrants.”

Nichts zu gewinnen

Das Zimmerwald-Komitee legt in der Debatte zum Revolutionären Defätismus Widerspruch ein. Die Lohnabhängigen haben im Krieg nichts zu gewinnen, wenn sie sich auf die Seite eines Staates schlagen.
