  • Socialization and Commons in Europe: How to Build an Alternative?

  • Por Maxime Benatouil | 13 Nov 14
  • What does the notion of commons mean?

Austerity – apart from being an ineffective and pointless means to combatting the crisis – is now proving treacherous. This is because it continues to change the nature of the crisis.

  • The Beginning of the New Grand Game

  • Por Ilona Švihlíková | 27 Oct 14

However, as a reaction to a continuing bad economic situation in the West, together with increasing coordination of the BRICS countries, new trade blocks are being built.

The surrounding area has been evacuated completely. 160.000 people have abandoned the region from Rozava provinence and lower. Dead band. Every inch of the western Turkey-Syria borderline has starved life. It is a No man’s land. Just a single dot is left alive. It is a ray of light and struggle surrounded by the thickest darkness. It is a ray of light. The barricades of Kobani.
