The first time that a German gunmaker has ever been punished for a sale. @HecklerKoch fined for illegal sale of G36s to Mexico. CEOs acquitted tho. My report from Stuttgart p.dw.com/p/3Dlmx

Indeed. I’d suggest that to some, the austerity the centrists are wedded to was already extremist. Corbyn merely a correction.

The resurgence of the left around the world isn't the result of some mad fluke - it reflects deep changes in the balance of power in society, driven by even deeper changes in the nature of economic accumulation.
Not even Chuka Umunna can halt the forward march of history.

It's amazing that centrists believe they won in the nineties because they were good at politics, rather than because of the political economy of finance-led growth.
It's even more amazing that they can look around the world today and claim that their politics is still viable.

What you selling? The German media appears to have an investment in making Berlin's organized crime look as scary and cool as possible goo.gl/images/b4r2Pb

As Donald Trump leads the US withdrawal from multilateralism, the #MSC2019 is dominated by concerns the world is fragmenting. But to some, insisting on this world order threatens Cold War conditions.

John Kerry just got up and said we’re making a mutual suicide pact on climate change. „This should‘ve been the first panel!“ Looked genuinely pissed off. #MSC2019 #DWatMSC pic.twitter.com/JZFgB2OjOB
