Here’s why it’s a problem for protest – which is the foundation of any meaningful liberal democracy path:

Rule of law vs. rule of order: These budget “safeguards” don’t distinguish between authoritarian crackdowns and […]

„Israel is the target of a campaign orchestrated by #Hamas, non-governmental organizations (#NGOs), the United Nations (UN), & the international media. This was what Benjamin Netanyahu's government claimed in response to the extremely serious accusations of #famine made by experts from the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (#IPC), (…) in a report released … August 22.“

Who are the #nastyfew?

They are the people who always rise to the top when #mainstreaming takes hold. You see them on TV, in parliament, running #NGOs, managing #dotcons tech projects.

On the surface, they don’t always look bad – in fact, they often present as competent, articulate, even charming. But scratch that surface and the pattern is clear: their drive is not shared flourishing, it’s possession and control.

This minority #nastyfew, from a historical view, today’s bourgeoisie. As Marx outlined […]
