(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).

Published on The Bullet, Socialist Project’s E-Bulletin No. 1141, by Martijn Konings, July 14, 2015.

What is amazing is that 39% voted for the One Percent against their own interests. This 39% vote shows that propaganda works to convince people to vote against their own interest. Continue Reading…
