I'm actually reading it in french. It's a well documented monthly newspaper.
Articles aren't here to create some bullshit buzz, but deep articles on many subjects mostly politic, economic, geo politics but ther topics are covered (internet, healthcare, ...)
Yeah I used to struggle through Le Monde in French. It was eye-opening to get a very different perspective on everything: art and culture as well as politics.
I am also a reader of the monde diplo. They have a Spanish version too. We must recognize the small left-wing bias though, but the articles are always of very high quality and all the sources are included. This is by far the beat source of information for international politic and it should be a model for other newspapers.
Exactly - this is why direct action that challenges the root of power is needed. Instead of organizing to get the government to ban straws, we need to get the government to ban plastic fishing nets, cap carbon emissions, etc.
Neoliberalism replaces the citizen with the consumer. Voting with your wallet is part of the ideology that destroys public power, creates short-term selfish thinking and behaviour. So I don't think counting on wallet voting makes much sense in reality.
i was pretty young (<10) when i realized the television was always referring to me as a "consumer" and it felt awful, even then. if anything, i'm a "customer".
i hadn't, until today, realized that it was a Neoliberal thing.
As Mises wrote: "When we call a capitalist society a consumers' democracy we mean that the power to dispose of the means of production, which belongs to the entrepreneurs and capitalists, can only be acquired by means of the consumers' ballot, held daily in the marketplace."
It has an english version.
