Rosa Luxemburg vécut la naissance du mouvement sioniste et fut une adversaire résolue de toute forme de sionisme. Elle pensait que le sionisme était une tentative ridicule tendant à faire diversion pour détourner les opprimés et exploités de leur combat contre les exploitants et exploiteurs. Rosa Luxemburg agit toujours en internationaliste. Quelles que soient les formes de nationalisme, allemand, français, polonais ou bien encore sioniste, elle les combattit sans relâche et n’évita aucune ...

A new study comparing Germany to Estonia, Spain, and Finland
Germany’s education policy has faced scrutiny ever since the results of the very first PISA survey were released in 2000. The report revealed that academic success in Germany fell below the OECD average and was more strongly contingent upon a student’s socio-economic and family background than was the case in any other participating country.
Since then, a series of measures has been implemented with regard to education policy, including the expansion of childcare facilities,...

In the last four decades, we have experienced secular stagnation, priva[1]tisations, cuts in public investments and employment, and a rise in financialisation, financial profits, market concentration, profit share in Gross Domestic Product (GDP), unemployment, and inequality at the global level. This neoliberal era is marked by the inflation in stock markets fuelled by excess inflows through private pension funds and health insurances, advertisements, brand value, innovation, college education, and white-collar jobs. These should all be...

The right to mobility must be guaranteed for all people, because mobility means social participation. Getting to work, meeting friends, going to a medical appointment, taking children to nursery, visiting a mother in need of care – all of these must be affordable, reliable, climate-friendly and stress-free. Mobility is a class issue. People with middle and low incomes are more heavily burdened by the cost of car ownership and often still have no alternative, since public transport and rail services are ...

Amidst a severe energy and cost-of-living crisis, Mapping a Public Pathway for Europe’s Energy Transition delivers a compelling critique of Europe’s failing energy system. This comprehensive study exposes how, despite public commitments to reform, the EU’s continued reliance on a liberalized, profit-driven energy market is driving up prices and jeopardizing its own climate targets. At a time when the European Commission pledges competitiveness and a green industrial future, the data presented in this study tells a very different ...

30,000 lobbyists…and counting. The sheer number of corporate lobbyists that influence EU policy-making, and the financial firepower available to them, constitute a challenge to democracy, social rights, peace and the planet. In this book, lobbying researcher and campaigner Kenneth Haar explores how corporate representatives have shaped the institutional foundations of the EU. He examines how they inscribed their vision into its fundamental principles, constructing a “European competition state,” marginalising concern for the common good, and generating an enormous ...

According to its presentation of itself, the European Union (EU) is based on principles and values such as freedom, democracy, equality, and the rule of law, promoting peace and stability.1 Against this background, the huge inequalities, high poverty rates, and multiple cases of precarious living across and within the Member States (MS) are even more dramatic and suggest that the EU displays serious discrepancies between its declarations and the existing politics. These discrepancies are manifested in the domain of housing, too.

Mobility is a basic human need. Over the last 100 years, the automobile has revolutionised the transport of people and goods. The automotive industry is a core industrial sector employing millions of people in Germany, Europe and the world. The trade unions in the metal sector are strong and powerful organisations without which the enforcement of social rights would have been impossible. But the costs and irreversible damage caused by the fossil fuel era are now undeniable. The technology based on the burning of fossil fuels is reaching its ...

Groups fighting for energy democracy at all levels of society are leading resistance and remedies towards a better future.
Profit-driven energy models have escalated the climate crisis, failed to decarbonise our energy systems, and do not provide universal access to clean, affordable energy. We need to unite globally to transition to public energy systems rooted in justice, solidarity and democracy.
The global energy democracy movement recognises that the energy transition is an urgent opportunity to reclaim our energy systems from the market and put ...

***Version française ci-dessous***
