#Populism has taken root in #EU regions undergoing long-term decline.
In the #USA, economic #decline and the growth of interpersonal inequalities fuel support for #Trump, but only in places with a clear white majority.

Ich habe beim rausgehen die Kontrollen noch eine Weile beobachtet (15 min). Natürlich haben nicht alle einen Ausweis dabei. Mutter mit Kinderwagen geht auch ohne Ausweis, wird durchgewunken. Junges Pärchen, er Migrahintergrund ohne Ausweis müssen wieder gehen. (ich habe mit ihnen geredet, sie waren sehr genervt und wussten von nichts). Das ist racial profiling und genau der Geschmack der Berliner CDU.

Indian ethnonationalists are taking cues from Israel, creating a concept of “hinduphobia” designed to shield right-wing Hindu nationalists & an increasingly authoritarian government from criticism

#Italy #Berlusconi #Populism #Neoliberalism #Trump: "Many rightwing populist politicians who were dominant in the 2010s have been compared to Berlusconi, the first among them former US president Donald Trump. Like Trump and well before him, Berlusconi insisted on the fact that he was not a career politician but rather a successful “self-made entrepreneur”, who had decided to enter politics to save his country from leftism. Like Trump, Berlusconi owed his success to his extraordinary use of TV, which, in his case, was made easier by the fact that he owned most of the country’s private TV channels. And finally, very much like Trump, Berlusconi took the political scene by storm by ignoring all the norms of institutional courtesy and politeness, preposterously presenting himself as a victim of judges and electoral authorities, while never shying away from the most vulgar and sensationalist tactics to capture public attention – including his famous penchant for sexual jokes.

Berlusconi embodied what Antonio Gramsci described as the Italian people’s “taste for the operatic”, with his rallies and TV interventions featuring moments that would have befitted a variety show. In terms of political content, though, he was simply a neoliberal: his revolution was one of cutting taxes and red tape and deregulating labour. In fact, he is best seen, historically, as the link between neoliberalism and populism."

#Capitalism #Oligopolies #Democracy #Populism #Inequality: "In sum, the problem of a just society, and of restoring that vital, delicate balance between capitalism and democracy, will go beyond unrigging capitalism—though contemporary capitalism urgently, even desperately, needs to be unrigged. As Wolf argues persuasively, rigged capitalism has fueled populist backlashes that are being exploited by plutocratic political entrepreneurs, and which threaten the very survival of liberal democracy. And without economic and political reforms, “[t]he year 2024 might mark the end of American liberal democracy.”

But this is where The Crisis of Democratic Capitalism fails to inspire. It is not that Wolf’s proposed reforms—measured, reasonable, smart, constructive—don’t make sense. It is that they seem exceedingly unlikely to be adopted. Soberly sifting through 70 pages of what a “New” New Deal might look like yields mostly agreeable generalities (“Ending special privileges for the few”) and extremely sensible reforms (greater fairness in the tax code, thoughtful forms of public investment, independent commissions to end gerrymandering, reducing corporate influence in elections, etc.). But we have all been here before."

#Russia #Anarchism #Populism #Kropotkin: "In summer​ 1876, Peter Kropotkin was given a pocket watch by a visiting relative. He was 33 years old, bore one of the Russian Empire’s oldest princely titles and had been a page de chambre to Tsar Alexander II. He was already famous in Russia for his scientific work on zoology and glaciation. Two years earlier, however, he had been arrested and imprisoned as a member of a revolutionary secret society. The watch was delivered to him in a prison hospital, to which he had been transferred after his health declined in the dungeons of the Peter and Paul Fortress. Concealed in the watch was a coded message detailing his role in an elaborate escape plan involving some two dozen comrades, many operating in disguise. The plan went off without a hitch; minutes after climbing into the waiting carriage, Kropotkin had changed his prison clothes for those of an aristocrat, blending in perfectly with the crowd on Nevsky Prospekt. While the imperial secret police fruitlessly combed the area, Kropotkin went out to dinner at a fashionable restaurant. After a few days lying low in nearby dachas, he was spirited away to Britain. He didn’t return to Russia until after the February Revolution of 1917."

RT @ozznujen: Inget blev bättre.
Men mycket blev sämre.
När populister och rasister styr går det lätt överstyr och notan för Sverige blir dyr.
Många väljare som nu måste känna sig lurade, duperade och ja väldigt väldigt besvikna.

Has #ElonMusk done the world a favour by showing up flaws and accelerating disaffection from the #Twitter machine that gave #populism such a massive boost over the last ten years?

Congratulations and welcome.

Of course we wouldn’t be in the Euro Group if @PearseDoherty and @sinnfeinireland had their way.

They supported the idea of leaving the Euro during financial crisis.

Their heroes then were #Syriza and @yanisvaroufakis,

Didn’t see them featuring at SF this year.
