Sozialismus von unten
Vereinigt euch! Über die aktuellen Kämpfe der Arbeiterklasse und warum wir uns organisieren müssen - Das Abschlusspodium des Zündfunke-Kongress
Manchmal entfacht ein Funke einen revolutionären Flächenbrand. Doch ein erfolgreicher Umbruch braucht Kräfte, die auf genau solche Momente vorbereitet sind. Wer sich auf der Welt umschaut, kommt schnell zu dem Schluss: So wie es ist, darf es nicht bleiben. Es braucht einen Bruch mit dem bestehenden System des Kapitalismus, das Profit über Menschen stellt. Eine andere Welt ist möglich. Auf dem Zündfunke Kongress (12.-14. Dezember 2025) haben wir uns auf der Grundlage von marxistischer Theorie und Praxis über Ideen für den Kampf und die Perspektive eines Sozialismus von unten ausgetauscht. Auf der...

Sozialismus von unten
Wie kann das Klima gerettet werden? How can the climate be saved? Elisa Baş und Martin Empson (SWP)
(ENGLISH BELOW) Längst steuern wir auf ökologische Kipppunkte zu, die, einmal überschritten, nicht mehr umkehrbar sind. Statt die Produktionsweise grundlegend zu verändern, wird der Zusammenbruch verwaltet - durch CO2-Märkte, "grünes Wachstum" und technologische Scheinlösungen. Viele Klimaaktionen fordern "System change, not climate change", doch häufig bleiben konkrete Wege unklar oder enden bei oberflächlichen Reformen des Systems. In der Veranstaltung diskutieren die Klima-Aktivistin Elisa Baş und Martin Empson, Mitglied der britischen Socialist Workers Party, eine sozialistische Perspektive: Warum ist der Kapitalismus strukturell unfähig, die Krise zu lösen? Welc...

Long Reads: Anabaptism and the Radical Reformation w/ Martin Empson
Last year, Martin Empson joined Long Reads to speak about the German Peasants’ War, Europe’s biggest social revolt before the French Revolution. Martin returns to talk about what happened next. After the revolt was crushed, radical religious tendencies became a vehicle for social discontent. The most famous of those tendencies was known as Anabaptism. A group of religious radicals inspired by Anabaptist ideas even took power in the German town of Munster. After the bloody repression of the Munster rebels, the very idea of Anabaptism became a sinister bogeyman for Europe’s ruling classes. Martin...

20. Henry VIII
Henry VIII (1509-47) was described by historian Simon Jenkins as the ‘Hercules of English history – part tyrant, part polymath, part renaissance prince, who tore up the Plantagenet rulebook’. He was a prolific builder of English monarchy giving the nation a new identity, free from the shackles of Rome. His impact on religion, on government and on society was unprecedented, leaving a significant imprint on 21st century Britain. His countless iniquitous deeds, his disastrous marriages and the gratuitous purges of his foes and friends alike have done more to amalgamate his greatness than to tarnish is colossal legacy.
