What we are seeing in Turkey is a non-uniformed authoritarian regime led by a politician, Tayyip Erdogan, who has allowed power to go to his head and is behaving more and more like a despot. Sooner or later this will provoke political uprisings throughout the country as happened after Gezi.

At the time of German Reunification, it was no secret that Germany would soon become the strongest political entity in the European Union. And that has happened.

There are huge political problems in Germany, but German economic power is something which was bound to happen. The way out of this situation is through the further democratization of the European Union and a changing of its structures.

After flirting with neoisolationism, the U.S. is now deciding it wants to run the world.

The extreme center is the political expression of the neoliberal state.

The function of a bourgeois democracy is to secure the consent of the masses to their own exploitation and oppression.

Proximity to power has an unsurprising ability to mutate a politician's spinal cord into bright yellow jelly.
