Mechanics at Tesla's 10 workshops in Sweden have been on strike since 27 October: the first of its kind at the EV giant.

马克思VS马尔萨斯:人口过剩还是垂死体制

托马斯·马尔萨斯牧师(Reverend Thomas Malthus)在19世纪声名鹊起,他是贫穷和不平等的热心捍卫者。他断言,穷人之所以贫穷,并不是因为资本主义的剥削或不公,而是因为他们的人数太多,争夺有限的资源。如今,马尔萨斯的观点仍然以各种不同的形式流传,甚至对部分左派也产生了影响。在这篇文章中,亚当·布斯借鉴了马克思和恩格斯对马尔萨斯的批判,揭示了这些思想在今天的错误和反动影响。(按:本文原文发表于2023年11月10日。译者:Eric L)

Verdens opdeling i nationalstater og den konkurrence, som foregår mellem de nationale borgerskaber, gør kampen mod klimaforandringer til en syg joke. Det er sjældent, at kapitalistiske politikere og kommentatorer åbent indrømmer denne åbenlyse sandhed, men i ny og næ er det muligt at læse en artikel skrevet af de mere kløgtige repræsentanter af kapitalen, hvor der udvises et glimt af forståelse. Men netop sådan en artikel blev for nylig udgivet af The Financial Times (FT) med titlen “Hvordan Kina trængte markedet for grøn teknologi op i en krog”.
