The election victory of self-proclaimed anarcho-capitalist Javier Milei is being celebrated by right-wing libertarians around the world. This neoliberal extremism is successful because other ways of tackling the worsening crisis have failed – not just in Argentina.

The exodus of the money people - Escape to Mars, upload to the cloud or retreat to the fallout shelter? How the super-rich are preparing for the apocalypse https://www.konicz.info/2023/11/27/the-exodus-of-the-money-people/

This is an English translation of an article I wrote for a German magazine. The article looks into the post apocalyptic strategies the wealthy and ultrarich are focusing on. Main point: The rich are as afraid of the collapse of society as anyone else, but their means to face the calamity are on another level.

The Money of The Upstarts – The BRICS countries want to create their own currency to end the hegemony of the U.S. dollar. China holds a dominant position in the alliance. https://www.konicz.info/2023/08/02/the-money-of-the-upstarts/

"This credit crunch, triggered by the fight against inflation in Western countries, is an important factor in the huge rush to join the BRICS group. Many crisis-ridden countries, such as Argentina and Venezuela, which are currently seeking membership, are simply hoping to tap alternative sources of financing – especially from China."

    Die Dialektik des Klimawandels – Wie quantitative Änderungen der Treibhausgaskonzentration zu qualitativen Umbrüchen im globalen Klimasystem führen können. https://www.konicz.info/2014/04/28/die-dialektik-des-klimawandels/

    Ohne es zu ahnen, haben die Studienmacher – wie auch viele andere Klimawissenschaftlicher, die auf Kipppunkte (Tipping Points) im Klimasystem hinweisen – hier alte Grundsätze der materialistischen Dialektik neu „entdeckt“. Bekanntlich hat Karl Marx die idealistische, von Hegel formulierte Dialektik – die dort als das Bewegungsgesetz des Weltgeistes fungiert – „vom Kopf auf die Füße gestellt“ und als ein Bewegungsgesetz der Materie in all ihren Formen erkannt.
