@surplusmagazin.bsky.social published an article by @matthiasubl.bsky.social which adds to my claim from 2 weeks ago. Real wages are stagnating, while the rich are getting richer during last years’ crises. See below development of German real wages since 2015 (blue) and the prior tendency (red).

Quo vadis, productivity?
After WW2, the West was used to productivity and real wages growing at similar rates.
Since the 80s, real wages have stagnated, while productivity has exploded.
If workers’ purchasing power did not grow, where did the increases productivity go? The capitalists’ pockets.

It may seem unthinkable, but what we need is a chancellor who is prepared to declare that the emperor is naked. That the god of growth is no longer listening to our prayers. www.newstatesman.com/spotlight/ec... #postgrowth
“No political mantra, no tech-bro fantasy, no alluring macroeconomic ideology has stemmed the persistent decline of #EconomicGrowth. Let alone reversed it. To all intents and purposes, we are already living in a #postgrowth world.”—@proftimjackson.bsky.social → www.newstatesman.com/spotlight/ec...
Calling for growth is not the same as delivering it
More cash would certainly make the government's life easier, but it has proved consistently elusive.

We need a new politics for a changing world. To some, that means cutting social security spending to invest in defence.
But what if adapting to a multipolar world required us to give up on attempts to be a great power, and instead focus on meeting people’s needs?

Ich wünsche mir wirklich sehr, dass nun alle deutschen demokratischen Parteien klar sehen, dass die EU unser Weg nach vorne ist - und nicht die Vordenker des faschistisch daherkommenden Project2025, in dessen Namen nun Gleichschaltung & Mittelalter installiert werden.

Trumps Vordenker im Bundestag
Die Heritage Foundation will Amerika umbauen. Und nimmt auch Europa ins Visier. In Teilen der CDU ist sie offenbar ein willkommener Gast.

Far-right rhetorics have to be consistently redlined and ignored in public spaces. Antifascist rhetorics means claiming back the space of societally acceptable dialogue
Arguing with the far-right in public spaces only grants them the opportunity to spit more poison and string together half-truths
