Janne M. KorhonenCommon European #defence can only be credible if it isn’t bought by YET ANOTHER round of #austerity for the poor and the middle class, while the rich - who have the most to defend - just get richer.
TAX. THE. RICH. Besides money, it is CRUCIAL for long term social cohesion!
Ash Manson ♦️ Queen of Ravens#Berlin News Digest: The closure of the TU main building isn't just an "infrastructure hiccup"—it's a symptom. 🏛️📉 When the halls of technology and engineering can't pass a fire inspection, the austerity logic has reached its breaking point. From schools to bridges, the "backlog" is becoming our primary landscape. #BND #Austerity #TUBerlin #SocialContract
Miguel Afonso Caetano"For seven weeks, American and Israeli air power dominated Iranian skies. High-altitude surveillance, precision strikes on military infrastructure and apartment buildings in Tehran, and near-uncontested flight paths defined the opening phase of the conflict. Iran absorbed the blows and responded not with the guerrilla tactics of Baghdad’s roads but with long-range missiles, mass-produced drones, and a defensive posture that held the line.
In the final days before the ceasefire, an F-15 and an A10-warthog were downed by optical tracking systems. Whether this was a replicable technical achievement or a fortunate anomaly remains to be seen. What was not ambiguous, however, was the fact that Iran was able to close off the Strait of Hormuz to maritime traffic. In response, global energy markets convulsed. The war had become a world event.
Politics also shifted in Iran. Just a few months ago, in January, the main question there was economic. Inflation. Housing. The price of food. The Masoud Pezeshkian government’s austerity package had hollowed out household budgets and sent tens of thousands into the streets. Today the question is imperial. The war has not erased material suffering — it has reframed it. The choice presented to every Iranian is no longer about fiscal policy or subsidy reform. It is about sovereignty versus incorporation into an imperial order that already governs much of the region.
Donald Trump’s ill-advised war has revealed Iran as a unique formation in modern history: a neoliberal anti-imperialist state. Austerity at home, resistance abroad. On paper, a contradiction, in practice, the state’s operating logic. This is why Iran oscillates between protests against austerity and displays of national solidarity — sometimes within the same month."

Wartime Iran’s Political Transformation
The US-Israeli war on Iran has strengthened the power of a section of Iran’s elite that earns money in dollars from the sale of oil and petrochemicals. This has unified the state and its elite around an anti-imperialist project but at the cost of permanent austerity.
Richard Michael Blaber@ChrisMayLA6 I don't want to live in a #political #economy where "bond vigilantes" dictate #policy - insist on #austerity, low #taxation of the #wealthy, minimum #regulation of #business, & restrictive #monetary policy to combat #inflation. I'll only get my way when #Capitalism is replaced by #socialism, or (rather more likely) the whole of #industrial #civilisation collapses. The latter will bring its own problems!
Michael Graaf@Hex Widespread multilingualism is one of the strengths of #SouthAfrica. Indigenous languages collectively constitute a majority, & for all its sins, apartheid gave each its own bureaucracy including university & radio & TV. Ironically citizens privileged by apartheid were denied instruction in local majority languages; most remain linguistically disabled (monolingual or weakly bilingual) & their children only slightly better off, while the average citizen is fluent in two or three languages. The new system still privileges hegemonic languages by not budgeting for a level playing field #austerity

GrumpyOldFartI prefer to think of Keir Starmer as a #Quisling!
His Labour Party #Cabinet is a fetid colostomy bag full of Quislings!
The National Executive Council [#NEC] and Parliamentary Labour Party [#PLP] are full of #Netanyahu-funded Labour Friends of Israel [#LFI] & #JewishLabour Quislings!
They *all* collaborate with the #British deep state & with the genocidal #Zionist entity in undermining #British democracy &, now, in creating a #Zionist-infested #Palantir-enabled #FarRight dictatorship.

EPSUIt's great that the EU finally recognised the #PublicServicesEmergency.
But if it's an emergency, first stop the #austerity.
The #Commission must show that "#emergency" is not a rhetoric; now it's time for action.
