Nach der Grossbank #UBS hat jetzt auch Pharmakonzern #Roche sämtliche Diversitätsziele gestrichen, um "nicht mit den Gesetzen in den USA" in Konflikt zu kommen". Nachdem sich diese Akteure sich mit ihrer diversitätsbezogenen Elitenförderung in den schweizer Medien jahrelang als progressiv feiern durften, wäre eine etwas pointiertere Abrechnung mit diesem oportunistischen Schwenk schon zu wünschen.
"Wo Unrecht zu Recht wird, wird Widerstand zur Pflicht" ist für Konzerne ein bedeutungsloser Satz. Ihre Verpflichtung gilt dem Kapital, das ihre Eigentümer in sie investiert haben. Alles andere sind bloss Rahmenbediingungen.
Das macht sie zu strukturellen Kollaborateuren jedes Faschismus. Wie genau sie sich heute zu orange Mussolini und #Melon positionieren ist dabei nicht gerade bedeutungslos, aber doch sehr zweitrangig.

You should always start with #commonsense, as that was is being taken for granted, as a popular understandings of what is going on. Common sense always already contains critical elements and are always contradictory. What are the organisational forms and processes through which common sese can become more collective, more coherent and more critical, in a way that enables collective critical actions and practices.
That is far more complex and challenging than left #populism. We have seen the limits of those in spain and greece.

What we can see, are two different forms of #neoliberal hegemony: On the one hand, what #Mbeki, #Clinton, #Blair, #Obama, represent is a liberal form of neoliberal hegemony, that seeks to neutralize the popular antagonisms that are the workings of neoliberal #capitalism. On the other hand, what #zuma #modi #trump represent, is a #populist form of this #hegemony, that tries to mobilize these social antagonisms, more often than not in terms of #race, #religion, #xenophobia, but then tries to keep control over that, which is where the #authoritarian character of that [shows].

Sadly but not entirely surprising, it seems, that once #liberals lose hegemony, they turn #fascist faster than you can ,👏clap,👏your,👏hands and say " #interregnum ". This seems more true, the more capital one has command over. And Its not t he first time this happens...
So, I am afraid, that when we lament the #oportunism of big tech and other former #liberals it really falls short! They are not just hanging their flag into the wind, but they place a bet on the version of future they consider most likely to conserve their power and wealth. We really should consider them as actively bringing forward fascism at a historical crossroads! And for this, they should be fought!
Techfeudalism seams an accurate naming for the development in the us, but if i imagine what #techfeudalism actually will look like, I still see #fascism. And I think it is time people start calling it that way in mainstream media?!
