Europe’s industrial decline: stuck between a rock and a hard place

The revolutionary communists of North Africa and the Middle East are proud to announce the upcoming Arabic-language Revolutionary Communist School from 24 to 26 October!

From being the birthplace of the industrial revolution, Europe has undergone a protracted decline. A part of this has been the erosion of its core industrial base, through a process of deindustrialisation, which gathered momentum following the 2008 crisis, and since COVID-19 has sharply accelerated.

On Monday 22 September, Copenhagen Airport was shut down for four hours. The reason? Unidentified drones were flying overhead. Two days later, it was reported that drones had been observed at other Danish airports – in Aalborg, Esbjerg and Sønderborg, as well as over Skrydstrup Air Base. The Danish Armed Forces announced that drones had been spotted circling a number of military installations. Since then, there have been several reports of unidentified drones across the country.
