An entire generation is being forced to shoulder the costs of a decaying economic order. Youth rebellions across the Global South are not a passing phase; they reveal an unavoidable collision between young people’s hopes and the logic of capital.

Während Talkshows seit Wochen so tun, als sei Vergesellschaftung entweder unbezahlbarer Sozialismus oder ökonomischer Wahnsinn, setzt sich @tom_krebs_ bei @JungNaiv hin & erklärt einfach mal, wie es tatsächlich funktionieren kann. Nicht 30 oder 40 Milliarden Marktwert. Rund 13,5 Milliarden Euro Entschädigung auf Basis eines gemeinwohlorientierten Ertragswerts. Finanzierung über die Wohnungsbestände selbst. Zins und Tilgung aus den Mieteinnahmen. Keine Kürzungen im Landeshaushalt nötig. Genau solche Erklärungen fehlen in den großen Talkshows fast völlig. Da wird lieber „Enteignung!“ gerufen und Panik vor Investoren geschoben, statt einmal ernsthaft durchzurechnen, was Art. 15 GG praktisch bedeuten kann.

So you can get arrested for protesting a genocide but not for committing one?
Got it.

Was happy to learn more from @daughterofsahel about the history and popular struggles in the AES. The background is useful for us weaned on the Anglo-American moral and super-hero mentality to better understand how Goita, Tchiani and Traore became the leaders of the AES.
Coming soon on #MaishaKazini

“For too long we were told that there was only one way to run an economy. There is an alternative.”
🗽 In New York City this week, I listened to Mia Mottley, Pedro Sánchez and Zohran Mamdani make the core argument of ANTI FASCIST ECONOMICS. It’s in the air!

Wolfgang Benz ist Deutschlands wichtigster Antisemitismusforscher. In unserem @tagesspiegel-Interview vergleicht er AfD und NSDAP, zeigt Unterschiede der heutigen Krise zur Weimarer Republik auf und sagt: "Die Berliner Linke ist nicht antisemitisch".

Reading: seems a rather moderate position on what course highly constrained Senegalese policies must take now, and how that differs from the President’s & the IMF’s direction.
📖𝐏𝐀𝐏𝐄𝐑: Breaking adjustment cycle in Africa: Senegal under IMF debt restructuring & independent parliamentary oversight
⬇️Download: go.networkideas.org/4xF2Ltp
✍🏻Author: @YassineFall, Senegalese economist + former minister of @diplomatieSN & @MinjustSn
📄Overview: On 1 Sep 2026, @IMFNews & Senegalese authorities announced staff-level agreement on new Extended Credit Facility of approximately $2.2 billion over 36 months, designed to support 2026–2029 economic & financial reform programme. This agreement comes after nearly 2 years of suspension of previous IMF programmes, triggered by discovery in 2024 of concealed debt equivalent to approximately 25% of GDP under @Macky_Sall administration — bringing recognised public debt to over 130% of GDP, one of highest ratios on continent.
This paper offers tripartite reading. First, it situates Sep 2026 restructuring agreement within continuity of well-documented orthodox adjustment grammar — fiscal consolidation, accounting sustainability, governance conditionality — whose history reveals structural limitations for dependent, commodity-exporting economies. Second, it integrates parliamentary dimension analyzing substantive divergence between 2 divergent policy approaches, Programme de Restructuration Èconomique et Sociale entitled “Jubbanti Koom” (PRES ), spearheaded by then Prime Minister @SonkoOfficiel in Aug 2025 as response to budgetary constraints generated by hidden debt & DPG presented by Prime Minister @alaminoulo on 8 Sep 2026. Third, it situates Senegalese experience within broader historical & empirical record of structural adjustment in Africa & developing world — a record whose failures constitute necessary context for evaluating current programme.

I once pitched and advocated for these designs. I was called old fashioned. They called their smart buildings but their was nothing smart about it.
In this part of the world, our educational facilities, especially in rural & peri-urban areas should be built with locally-available materials and in response to our climate to reduce energy cost over the lift cycle of the building.
This design we (@OddSpaceConsult ) did for a community In Uganda embodies those principles
