Jusqu'en février 2025, l'Europe a été un instrument consentant de la politique étrangère des États-Unis. S'en rendant compte à l'instant, les dirigeant·es ne peuvent pas changer leur conviction de défendre le bien contre le mal. Iels choisissent donc de passer d'un discours des Lumières à un discours de réarmement.

En Allemagne, les partis politiques libéraux hérités du passé ont vu leurs votes chuter à 60 % (contre 76 % lors des élections parlementaires précédentes, trois ans plus tôt). Juste avant de se séparer, les représentant·es ont adopté une loi qui pourrait doubler la dette nationale.

"Après quinze années pendant lesquelles les partis politiques allemands ont sermonné leurs citoyen·nes en leur expliquant que la « hausfrau souabe » était le seul modèle de dépenses publiques et qu'on ne devait pas accabler « nos petits-enfants » par la prodigalité d'aujourd'hui, les mêmes partis politiques allemands ont abandonné la « responsabilité fiscale » en votant une nouvelle dette de plus de mille milliards d'euros, défiant non seulement leur propre frein à l'endettement, mais aussi celui qu'iels ont imposé au reste de l'Union européenne."

Brave New Europe

The liberal legacy political parties had votes drop to 60 percent (from 76 percent in the previous parliamentary election three years earlier). Just before parting, the representatives passed a law that may double the national debt.

'After fifteen years of German legacy political parties lecturing their citizens that the Swabian hausfrau was the sole paradigm for government spending and that “our grandchildren” could not be burdened by today’s profligacy, the same German political parties have abandoned “fiscal responsibility”, having voted over one trillion euros in new debt, defying not only its own debt brake, but the one it imposed on the rest of the EU.'

Brave New Europe

Cognitive dissonance

Until February 2025, Europe had been a willing tool of US foreign policy. Realizing it just now, the rulers cannot change their belief in standing for good versus evil. So they choose to change their narrative from one of enlightenment to one of rearmament.

"In spite of all the grand-standing and posturing, Europe has been reduced to a geopolitical appendage of the United States, following Washington’s lead in prolonging the conflict while shouldering the costs. While the EU sees itself as a global moral authority, it has been sidelined in actual negotiations. Instead, peace talks are being brokered by the U.S. and China, with Europe playing no decisive role. Even within the European Parliament, there exists a near-religious belief in a narrative that contradicts basic military and economic realities."

The EU's Decision to Die on the Hill that is Ukraine

In a recent talk on Neutrality Studies, Michael von der Schulenburg, a German member of the EU Parliament, puts his finger on the irrational core of the block's collective Ukraine-War Psychosis.

Le réarmement est une opportunité pour le capital d'obtenir des réductions de la protection sociale et des services publics, au prix d'une baisse de la rentabilité.

Chatham House : « Les hommes politiques devront se préparer à récupérer de l'argent en réduisant les allocations de maladie, les pensions de retraite et les soins de santé. »

La ministre britannique des finances, Rachel Reeves n'a cessé de réduire les dépenses consacrées aux allocations familiales, aux allocations d'hiver pour les personnes âgées et aux prestations d'invalidité. Elle a annoncé que les attributions du nouveau Fonds national de richesse du gouvernement "travailliste" seraient modifiées afin de lui permettre d'investir dans "la défense" (en fait l'industrie de l'armement).

L'augmentation des dépenses militaires stimule la croissance mais peut nuire à la « santé » du processus d'accumulation capitaliste (en) https://thenextrecession.wordpress.com/2025/03/22/from-welfare-to-warfare-military-keynesianism/

Rearmament is an opportunity for capital to obtain reductions in welfare and public services, at the cost of lower profitability.

Chatham House: “Politicians will have to brace themselves to reclaim money through cuts to sickness benefits, pensions and healthcare.”

Britain’s finance minister Rachel Reeves, who has been steadily cutting spending on child credits, winter payments for the aged and disability benefits, announced that the remit of the Labour government’s new National Wealth Fund would be changed to let it invest in defence.

More military spending spurs growth but can damage the ‘health’ of the capitalist accumulation process: https://thenextrecession.wordpress.com/2025/03/22/from-welfare-to-warfare-military-keynesianism/
