The Role of the U.S. Military in #World #Politics
Undeniably, the U.S. #military liberated #Europe from #fascism. Only because of this could very bad #war criminals be punished.
However, today, in contrast, one must ask how many tyrants have been brought to power by the U.S. military or can hold on to power because of it.

#Antisemitism is best understood not as an anthropological constant but as an ever-changing, always delusional reaction of some non-Jews to their experience of an always-evolving #society.
From this point of view, the antisemitism of the 20th and 21st century can be seen as the epitome of anti-emancipatory #ideology, in which hatred of #enlightenment, self-awareness and #freedom are combined. Because capitalist society is uncomprehended, fetishistic and self-mystifying, it contains a tremendous urge towards the delusional concretisation of abstraction (i.e. to put a tangible name and face on the source of distress). To simplify, this need to scapegoat, which seems to me to be one of the decisive elements of anti-Semitism, is, then, inherent to modern #capitalist society. The task of any materialist #critique of antisemitism is to make visible the connection between the antisemites and the society that produces them. In a delusional projection onto the ‘Jewish principle’ and its supposed physical embodiments, antisemites are fighting against social and individual ambivalences, and against individual and social contradictions and crises. This seems to me to be the constant factor in the different manifestations of antisemitism. https://fathomjournal.org/fathom-long-read-adorno-and-iran-critical-theory-and-islamic-antisemitism/ #adorno #israel #iran #education #modernity #capitalism #islamism #nazis #holocaust #lebanon #hezbollah #marx #europe #antifascism

No Profit on Pandemic! Everyone deserves protection from COVID-19
European Citizens’ Initiative wants to collect 1 million signature to lift the patents on COVID19 pharmaceuticals
https://eci.ec.europa.eu/015/public/#/screen/home
A broad coalition of health worker trade unions, NGOs, activist groups, students associations and health experts launched on November 30th a European Citizens’ Initiative. Their objective is to convince the European Commission to put all measures in place to make sure that intellectual property rights, such as patents, do not limit the availability of treatments and vaccines against COVID-19.
A European Citizens’ Initiative allows European citizens to introduce legislative proposals if they collect 1 million signatures in 1 year. This binding initiative adds another voice to the concern expressed by civil society groups, public health experts and world leaders that newly developed vaccines and treatments might only be available for a small part of the population due to financial and logistical barriers.
The organisers state that pharmaceutical companies should be obliged to share the results of their research with other institutions to speed up the production of doses globally, and to lower the cost significantly, as has been proposed by India and South Africa at the World Trade Organisation. They also demand that the negotiations take place in full transparency.
"It is misleading when pharmaceutical companies state that they are offering the vaccine at a low price, or when governments say it will be free of charge for citizens”, reacts Anne Delespaul, spokesperson of the initiative and Belgian doctor, “As if we are not paying it all. However, The research and development was largely funded with public money by the European Union. But we are not getting any public control on the actual price, effectiveness and production costs. This way citizens, tax payers, social security and health systems pay twice : once for the development via public funding and a second time for the revenues of Big Pharma.
There is no reason why, in the midst of a pandemic and economic crisis, societies should contribute to shareholders profits. Our health systems are already overburdened.”
The launching date, November 30th, is not a coincidence. Anne Delespaul: “This is the eve of World Aids Day, when we show support for people living with and affected by HIV. Millions of people died because they couldn’t afford treatment and protection. After a decades-long battle, pharmaceutical companies were forced to drop their patents. But the world simply can’t afford to wait this long.”

Invisible workers: Underpaid, exploited and put at risk on Europe’s farms
Euronews
They toil away for hours on end, under blazing sunshine or drenching rain, to cultivate and harvest the fruits and vegetables we so easily take for granted.
As the coronavirus pandemic swept across Europe, those helping to bring food to our plates suddenly became visible, even hailed as "essential workers". But for the past six decades, the European Union's farming policy has overlooked their labour rights and living conditions.
The EU’s common agricultural policy – which accounts for over a third of the bloc's budget – aims to support farm owners and pumps nearly €60 billion into the sector each year. The working conditions of those employed by these farms, however, are not even mentioned in the subsidies scheme.
"At the moment we have this crazy situation where we actually have better protection for animals than for some of these workers on our farms," said German Green MEP Daniel Freund. (...)

VIDEO: Polish patriots and football fans defend St. Alexander’s Church in Warsaw against leftist attacks
#europeMembers of the Catholic faith known as the "National Guard" along with football club fans defended Saint Alexander’s Church at Warsaw’s Three Cross Square from pro-abortion and left-wing protesters who were attacking the place of worship yesterday. In the wake of the landmark ruling from the Polish Constitutional Court that eugenic abortion is incompatible with the constitution, protests have become violent in many areas of Poland. The protesters blockaded several streets in many Polish cities, but Warsaw saw the most heated battles.VIDEO: Polish patriots and football fans defend St. Alexander’s Church in Warsaw against leftist attacks
