Όταν το σύστημα απειλεί με μια νέα κρίση

του system failure

Ένα αντίστροφο σενάριο της κρίσης του 2008 στις ΗΠΑ θα ήταν μια πιθανή νέα κρίση, που αυτή τη φορά θα ξεκινούσε από την Ευρώπη. Η παγκόσμια νεοφιλελεύθερη δικτατορία νιώθει ότι υπάρχει μια απειλή για την κυριαρχία της με αφετηρία τις προσεχείς ευρωεκλογές. Οι δυνάμεις των ευρωσκεπτικιστών, που ανήκουν κυρίως στην πατριωτική Δεξιά, παρουσιάζονται αισθητά ενισχυμένες, ενώ η Αριστερά μοιάζει αποφασισμένη να μην προσαρτηθεί στο νεοφιλελεύθερο μπλοκ στο οποίο προσχώρησαν και τα Σοσιαλιστικά Ευρωπαϊκά κόμματα.

Τα κράτη-μέλη της ευρωζώνης μοιάζουν παγιδευμένα ανάμεσα στις αγορές που είναι έτοιμες να επιτεθούν ανά πάσα στιγμή και στην ΕΚΤ, γι'αυτό προχωρούν σε σκληρότερα “προληπτικά” μέτρα λιτότητας. Χαρακτηριστικό πρόσφατο παράδειγμα είναι οι περικοπές ύψους 50 δισ. που ανακοίνωσε ο Ολάντ για τη διετία 2015-2017.

Το σύστημα απειλεί τις κοινωνίες με μια νέα κρίση καθώς δεν θέλει να δει τα σχέδια του να εκτροχιάζονται. Σε περίπτωση που οι ευρωεκολογές αναδείξουν μεγάλη άνοδο των αντι-νεοφιλελεύθερων δυνάμεων στην ευρωβουλή, αυτό σημαίνει ότι οι “αγορές” θα ετοιμαστούν για μια νέα μεγάλη οικονομική κρίση που αυτή τη φορά θα ξεκινήσει από την Ευρώπη, καθώς η παγκόσμια νεοφιλελεύθερη δικτατορία θέλει πάση θυσία να ολοκληρώσει το πείραμα που ξεκίνησε στην Ελλάδα, επεκτείνοντας το, σε πρώτη φάση, σε όλη την ευρωζώνη, ακόμα και στη Γερμανία.

Στην άλλη πλευρά του Ατλαντικού, ο Ομπάμα προσπαθεί απεγνωσμένα να περάσει κάποια μέτρα υπέρ της πλειοψηφίας του Αμερικανικού λαού (Obamacare, αύξηση κατώτατου μισθού), αλλά βρίσκει μεγάλα εμπόδια και από τη μεριά των Ρεπουμπλικάνων που φαίνεται ότι τάσσονται ανοιχτά υπέρ του μεγάλου κεφαλαίου. Ασφαλώς ο Ομπάμα νοιάζεται για την υστεροφημία του, αλλά μάλλον δεν μπορεί να κάνει πολλά.

Μια πιθανή νέα κρίση στην Ευρώπη θα περάσει πιθανώς και στην άλλη πλευρά του Ατλαντικού ώστε να ανακοπούν οι όποιες προθέσεις για φιλολαϊκά μέτρα σε πρώτη φάση και να επεκταθούν οι νεοφιλελεύθερες πολιτικές στις ΗΠΑ με τη γνωστή συνταγή ΔΝΤ της σκληρής λιτότητας και δημοσιονομικής πειθαρχίας. Είναι χαρακτηριστικό ότι, με βάση τα λεγόμενα του γνωστού οικονομολόγου, Γιόζεφ Στίγκλιτς, το ΔΝΤ είχε κάνει στο παρελθόν λανθασμένες εκτιμήσεις για την Αμερικανική οικονομία, οι οποίες (ευτυχώς) αγνοήθηκαν. Ίσως αυτή τη φορά κάποιοι, “θεωρήσουν” (δυστυχώς) ότι δεν πρέπει να τις αγνοήσουν.

Η “Ομοσπονδιακή” τράπεζα των ΗΠΑ μπορεί να επηρεάσει σημαντικά τη μετάδοση της κρίσης, καθώς η Αμερικανική κυβέρνηση μοιάζει όλο και πιο εξαρτημένη από τις πολιτικές ποσοτικής χαλάρωσης που αυτή εφαρμόζει.

Το μόνο σίγουρο είναι ότι, οι λαοί δεν πρέπει να υποκύψουν στην προπαγάνδα του εκφοβισμού και να καταλάβουν ότι έχουν τη δύναμη να αντισταθούν απέναντι στις δυνάμεις και στις πολιτικές που συστηματικά τους εξαθλιώνουν. Για το λόγο αυτό, οι προσεχείς ευρωεκλογές μπορούν να αποτελέσουν μια μεγάλη ευκαιρία.

Capitalism & Genocide - Yanis Varoufakis Speech at the Gaza Tribunal, 23rd October 2025, Istanbul

Yanis Varoufakis On 23rd October, Yanis Varoufakis testified in front of the Jury of Conscience in the context of the Gaza Tribunal. His speech focused on the economic forces underpinning the genocide of the Palestinian people. In particular, he spoke on the manner in which capitalist dynamics have historically fuelled the white settler colonial project and, more recently, how the accumulation of a new form of capital - which he calls cloud capital - has accelerated, deepened and amplified the economic forces powering and propelling the machinery of genocide.

Jeffrey Sachs: The US is a violent regime

CGTN Shortly after US President Donald Trump announced on social media that American forces had carried out military actions against Venezuela, President Nicolas Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores were forcibly taken to New York City to face US charges including narco-trafficking. Speaking with CGTN's Tian Wei, Columbia University professor Jeffrey Sachs warned that such actions reflect a broader pattern of militarized US foreign policy. By sidelining international law and disregarding the UN Charter, Washington is undermining the very framework meant to safeguard global peace and prevent another era of devastating wars.

The orange clown invades Venezuela, betrays MAGA base

globinfo freexchange Abandoning all pretexts, the orange clown of terror kidnapped the legitimate president of Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro. The US imperialist mafia now invades sovereign nations, kidnaps legitimate presidents, using ridiculously baseless excuses. Of course, not even a 10-year old child seriously believes that Maduro will be treated fairly in a fair trial by any US court. The fascist Trump regime already betrayed MAGA base, as one of Trump's key promises for a zero-intervention policy, has been blatantly violated. It is clear that Trump doesn't care at all for the will of the vast majority of the American people who is tired from this ruthless imperialist policy. He knows this is his last term, unless he dares to do the unthinkable: expand his dictatorship, contrary to the US constitution. According to a scenario among plenty, Trump has made an unofficial bargain with Putin to secure their spheres of influence. Yet, in such a case, we don't know what is the...

Israel & CIA Behind Iran Protests To Get U.S. To Attack!

The Jimmy Dore Show As protests in Iran have heated up, western media has actively exaggerated and selectively framed the violence by using casualty figures from U.S.- and Israel-funded NGOs — all in order to build public support for another regime-change war. Former CIA officer John Kiriakou and guest Scott Ritter claim protests were infiltrated by foreign intelligence networks and that Israel and the U.S. are using “human rights” narratives similarly to the way they were used in Iraq and Syria. Dore and Ritter contend that Iran’s government responded to armed unrest rather than peaceful protest, while mainstream outlets ignore attacks on police and public infrastructure. They warn that propaganda, sanctions, and media coordination are laying the groundwork for a wider U.S.–Israel conflict with Iran.

Billionaires are social distancing in super yachts as tens of millions lose jobs

Everyday, it becomes clearer: the COVID-19 pandemic is hitting poor, working, and marginalized communities the hardest. Millions of workers – especially low-wage retail, food service, hospitality, and care workers – have faced the terrible choice daily between going to work and risking their health, or staying home and risking their paychecks. Many other workers don’t even have that choice, with around 30 million people in the US filing for unemployment in the past six weeks. But billionaires don’t face these same problems. As tens of millions have lost their jobs over the past two months, billionaire wealth soared by a whopping $282 billion between March 18 and April 10, according to a new study from the Institute for Policy Studies. And while finding enough space to wait out the pandemic is something many struggle with, billionaires have been escaping to their second (or third, or fourth) homes to ride it out in luxury – all while they position themselves to ...

A response to misinformation on Nicaragua: it was a coup, not a ‘massacre’

There is so much misinformation in mainstream corporate media about recent events in Nicaragua that it is a pity that Mary Ellsberg’s article for Pulse has added to it with a seemingly leftish critique. Ellsberg claims that recent articles, including from this website, often “ paint a picture of the crisis in Nicaragua that is dangerously misleading. ” Unfortunately, her own article does just that. It looks at the situation entirely from the perspective of those opposing Daniel Ortega’s government while whitewashing their malevolent behavior and downplaying the levels of US support they have relied on. Her piece is an incomplete depiction of what is happening on the ground, ignoring many salient facts that have come to light and which have been outdated by recent events. The following is a brief response to Ellsberg’s main points from someone who lives in Nicaragua and has observed the situation directly and intimately: https://grayzoneproject.com/2018/08/15/a-res...

Trump ADMITS U.S. Just Wants Venezuela's Oil!

Lee Camp - Unredacted Tonight Trump has stripped away the usual pretense of democracy promotion and humanitarian concern regarding Venezuela, revealing a far more transactional objective: oil.
