@PaulaToThePeople Using "human nature" as an excuse for an entire economic system is wrong.Aggression, tribalism, and deception are all technically "human nature" too. We have spent thousands of years building laws and social rules specifically to stop those traits from ruining everything. We don't just throw our hands up and say, "Well, people are naturally violent, so let’s build a society based on street brawls."Civilization is basically the history of us trying to outsmart our own worst instincts. If we can build systems to keep our natural urge to hit each other in check, there’s no reason we can't do the same for greed. Just because an impulse is "natural" does not mean it's a good foundation for a society.

In #Germany leftist organisations are debanked by some of the major banks of the country. It seems that banks, secret service and government officials are working together to repress the left. This step is undermining their ability to collect membership fees and donations and their ability to pay bills thus undermining their whole ability to rent spaces, buy materials and general organisation.The step seems to come after the publishing of a list of so called 'terrorists' and 'terrorist organisations' by the #trumpadministration in the #USA, including many organisations associated with "#antifa" and #anticapitalism. With this move they try to sabotage the major driving force of opposition to their fascist agenda and practices and to organisations globally doing similar work.In Germany all of this is taking place outside of the public scope with media hardly picking up on this major attack on public political participation and even moderate organisations like the Association of Persecutees of the Nazi Regime – Federation of Antifascists (VVN-BDA). By this these institutions are making themselves the long arm of #Trump and his reactionary politics. This is a very dangerous situation which should interest every active citizen, every leftist, every revolutionary.Here is an earlier article by the VVN-BDA: https://vvn-bda.de/kontokuendigungen-wegen-antifa/#antifascism #internationalism #fascism #anarchism #socialism #communism #revolutionary
