Social struggle and violence

Seeking the new image of the left wing movement, the authors argue that – in contrast to the traditions – the acceptance of violence has to be excluded from it. They list the onthological elements of violence and the main social mechanisms that produce violence. They establish a relationship between the theory of revolutionary violence and the idealisation of the working class and finally discuss the possibility of linking the absence of violence and a revolutionary attitude towards society.

Jean-Marie Le Pen shall go to heaven in spte of all that

Analysing the causes of the „French type fascism" earmarked by Le Pen, the author comes to the idea that racial discrimination in this country actually has two century old historical roots and the present crisis is just the cathaliser in its revival. The structural problems of the French left wing, the internal contradictions of the Church and the collapse of the revolutionary trend represented by the French Communist Party have opened up the road for LePenism. To overcome it, it is not enough to reject racialism in principle: a progressive social movement is needed that would end the causes of its mass attraction.

The debt mountain – how to overcome?

The author shows us the developing process of the „debt trap". If the accumulated debts cause stagnation, poverty and social tension in the debtor and lower economic growth in the creditor nations, even within the nowadays framework of economic thinking, i. e. if this problem is unsolvable, what can be done? Answer of the author is: the interest rate for the indebted countries must be co-ordinated with their export to the creditor nations and with their own economic growth. The solution is a common interest of the creditor and borrower nations.
