''Perhaps surprisingly for a left-wing politician, the economy is the first and most important.'' Surprisingly!" Any real left is based on Das Kapital --the rest are pseudo-left windbags and that's why they don't have the votes. The entire basis of capitalist society is founded on economics and if you don't focus on economic exploitation and the class struggle it generates, the root of all other oppressions, you are just prattling petty bourgeois nonsense. Even so, the Germans should know better than to build a political party around an individual as their previous effort did not have a salutary historical outcome.
Political and cultural commentary based on a world view shaped by the works of Plato, Aristotle, Confucius, Averroes, Maimonides, Spinoza, Kant, Hegel, Marx, Sartre and Bertrand Russell "What is the use of studying philosophy if all that it does for you is to enable you to talk with some plausibility about some abstruse questions of logic, etc., and if it does not improve your thinking about the important questions of everyday life, if it does not make you more conscientious."-Wittgenstein

China's World View via the NYT
A typical NYT pro-imperialist oped posing as a ''news report'' with one example and one concluding opinion--tr
‘
One example of opedness-- ’Russia upended European security when he [Putin] launched an invasion of Ukraine 21 months ago.’’ How about; “America upended European security when it launched an expansion of NATO to the borders of Russia.’’ Or “America and the European Union upended European security when they sponsored a right-wing anti-Russian coup overthrowing a democratically elected Ukrainian government.’’ The NYT = the imperialist ''paper of record.'''
Concluding postscript-- “They’re doing this [ supporting the aspirations of poorer nations] as a way to signal to the Global South that China will support those countries in a way that they probably shouldn’t expect Western countries in general, and the U.S. in particular, to support them,” said Jonathan Fulton, a nonresident senior fellow with the Atlantic Council.” [That’s because China doesn’t see them as neocolonial cash cows to exploit for their resources and as a source of super profits for Western monopoly capitalist exploitation and military abuse.]
