This tension drove Soviet policies from Stalin's postwar scramble for territory to Khrushchev's reckless overseas adventurism and nuclear brinksmanship, Brezhnev's jockeying for influence in the third world, and Gorbachev's failed attempts to reinvent Moscow.

Story
En s’appuyant sur les carnets tardifs inédits de Marx et en voyant dans le pacte vert le nouvel opium des masses, Kohei Saito constate le désastre social et écologique du capitalisme, dénonce le mode de vie des pays développés fondé sur l’expropriation des ressources et de l’énergie du Sud global et prône une société basée sur les communs. Il associe deux termes apparemment incompatibles, la décroissance et le communisme, pour proposer une solution politique et civilisationnelle : le communisme décroissant.

Story
Deutschland, immer noch ein starkes Land in der Mitte Europas, befindet sich seit Jahren in einem relativen Niedergang: Arbeit lohnt sich für viele nicht mehr, Millionen kulturfremde Einwanderer strömen in die sozialen Sicherungssysteme. Die Explosion der Sozialausgaben überwuchert die öffentlichen Haushalte. Der Staat zeigt sich überfordert: Eine Reform der Asyl- und Migrationspolitk gelingt seit Jahren nicht. Die Bundeswehr ist blank und nicht fähig zur Landesverteidigung. Die Bürokratie nimmt immer mehr zu. Die Digitalisierung stockt, das Steuersystem ist leistungsfeindlich.

Story
The modern-day term “Machiavellian” is used to describe deception, dishonesty, and cruelty to meet a goal. The Prince by Niccolò Machiavelli was written as a guide for autocrats on how to govern using means that were meant to deceive and manipulate a government’s constituency—to the extent of advocating the use of evil for political expediency.
