Global Capitalism: "Capitalism vs Socialism Today" with Richard D. Wolff
Co-sponsored by Democracy at Work, Left Forum & Judson Memorial Church

These programs begin with 30 minutes of short updates on important economic events of the last month, then Wolff analyzes several major economic issues. This month, these issues will include:

1. What connects worker coops with socialism?
2. Capitalism, socialism and Venezuela’s history
3. As Trump fails them: where will angry workers turn?

Our goal: To develop all participants’ understanding and ability to explain current economic events and trends to others. We open the floor to questions and comments when time permits.

I discover websites through the remarks that different bloggers leaves on those web journals thus http://www.essayprime.co.uk it adds to it just to indicate distinctive styles and thoughts. I have picked this specific site since It gives assistance to individuals to make them feel sure on the web, to know they are welcome to join the discussion and give their assessments. It’s vital that they know how the structure of online journals workout.

There is a mistake in that:

The SPD has changed their name to “Sozialdemokratische Partei Deutschlands” already in 1890, according to Wikipedia.
So they turned away from socialism quite early.

Nobody would call the SPD “socialist” today. If you’d ask around german people, they would call the SPD “social-democratic” and Die Linke “socialist”.

That’s how we are not surprised anymore that SPD politicians cuddle with big business.
Ever since Schröder’s “Agenda reforms” created Europe’s larges low-wage sector in Germany many people even don’t consider the SPD social-democratic anylonger.
