  • US Ruling Class Prepares Attack on Social Security
    US Ruling Class Prepares Attack on Social Security By Tom Eley Region: USA Global Research, September 09, 2010 Theme: Global Economy World Socialist Web Site 8 September 2010 Prominent figures in the US ruling elite have recently made a series of statements that forewarn of massive cuts in social spending, up to and including Social Security, the bedrock federal insurance entitlement for elderly and disabled workers. These comments reveal that, whatever the precise outcome of the midterm elections on November 7, they will set the stage for a bipartisan assault, in the name of “fiscal responsibility,” on what remains of the social reforms of the last century. The knives are already being sharpened for a long-awaited attack on Social Security. In a rude and provocative e-mail to the president of the Older Women’s League dated August 23, former Republican Senator Alan Simpson—appointed by President Obama as co-chair of the National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform—revealed his deep hatred of both Social Security and the working people who depend upon it. Social Security “has reached a point now where it’s like a milk cow with 310 million tits! [sic],” Simpson said. He blasted its recipients—retirees, those maimed and sickened by their work, and dependent survivors of dead workers—who, he said “milk it to the last degree.” In an earlier outburst—in June, Simpson was caught on tape berating an independent journalist— he revealed the ruthless logic behind the ruling class drive for cuts: Workers, whom Simpson dubbed “the lesser people,” live too long.

  • By Avinash Gogineni 2P What Is Brexit? Brexit Is the Term Used for Representing the Process of Britain’S Exit from the EU
    By Avinash Gogineni 2P What is Brexit? Brexit is the term used for representing the process of Britain’s exit from the EU. ‘Brexit’ is simply a shortened version of ‘British Exit’. In June 2016, Britain held a referendum to leave or stay in the EU and the country voted by 52% to leave the EU. Brexit was and is a very controversial issue as although Britain did vote to leave, almost half (48%) voted to stay. The formal beginning of the withdrawal was announced by the government in March 2017 and the negotiations have taken almost three years. The transition period of leaving the EU only just began recently (at time of writing) on 31 January 2020. This essay will tell you about the past, the present, and the future of Brexit. How and why did we join the EU in the first place? What is the EU? To answer that question, first you need to know what the EU is and how it works. Background After 1945, some European political leaders thought that a European Council or Congress should be created to tie their nations together: this would be the answer to prevent extreme nationalism that caused World War II. The first step was taken in 1949 when the Council of Europe was founded. It was the very first kind of union of Europe. The Council mainly focused upon values such as human rights and democracy instead of economic or trade issues. It was a forum where member governments could choose to work with one another. However, in 1952, six nations grew tired of the lack of progress.

  • Electoral Events As Collateral Damages Sovereign Debt and the Old 'New' Nationalism in Post-Security Europe 1 WC: 9950
    Electoral Events as Collateral Damages Sovereign Debt and the Old 'New' Nationalism in Post-Security Europe 1 WC: 9950 Forthcoming: European Journal of Sociology May 12, 2014 Mabel Berezin, Professor of Sociology Cornell University, Ithaca, NY 14853 607-255-4042 (telephone); 607-255-8473 (fax) E-Mail: [email protected] http://www.soc.cornell.edu/faculty/berezin.html 1 This article benefited from the careful suggestions of the conveners of the SASE 2013 Mini-Conference on Economic Culture. I particularly wish to thank Lyn Spillman and Nina Bandelj. In addition, I thank Michael Mann for a critical reading of the first draft as well as participants in the Faculty of Law workshop held at the London School of Economics on February 25, 2014. I thank Damian Chalmers for inviting me to participate in the workshop. Berezin, Collateral Damages, EJS, 5/16/2014 2 Abstract In spring 2012, a series of elections suggested an extreme nationalist turn in European politics. Academic and media commentators responded to these events as novelties. This article takes an opposite analytic position. By viewing the spring elections as “events,” it argues that they represented end points rather than beginnings. The data for this article is an election survey that dates back to 1970; as well as public discourse of politicians and European policy and media elites. The article argues that the acceleration and normalization of the nationalist right in contemporary Europe is the collateral damage from the sovereign debt crisis that exacerbated fault lines in the expanding European Union project. It starts from the proposition that the Europe that the 1992 Maastricht Treaty formalized and the subsequent European Monetary Union (EMU) posed a political, and to some extent, cultural challenge.
