Rich Man's War and a Poor Mans Fight

Camillo "Mac" Bica, Truthout: "The citizen soldier, driven by civic obligation, patriotism and love of country, has been replaced by homo economicus - a professional military of individuals motivated primarily by need and the realization that, in order to provide for themselves and their families or go to college, few if any alternatives are available to them other than military service... To point out how the government exploits economic inequities to increase enlistment is not to belittle the personal sacrifices of those who serve out of love of country. Rather, it is to call attention to the prevalence of unequal sacrifice, an injustice that must be remedied. In light of such coercive economic conditions, perhaps the term 'all volunteer force' is a misnomer, as enlistees can hardly be said to have chosen military service voluntarily."

Five Arab Countries That the "Jasmine Revolution" May Spread to Next

Zaid Jilani, ThinkProgress: "Last month, the world was shocked as the Tunisian autocrat Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali, who had ruled his country for 23 years, was overthrown in a protest movement that lasted only 29 days. The event was soon dubbed the 'Jasmine Revolution,' a symbolic reference to a blooming flower... It was only days later that massive protests rocked Cairo, resulting in the resignation of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, who had been in power for more than 30 years. While the fate of both countries is still unresolved, one thing is clear: the people are demanding democracy, and they have forced massive changes in their government to get it. Now, many are wondering if this pro-democracy movement that swept Tunisia and Egypt will spread throughout the rest of the Arab world. ThinkProgress has assembled a short list of other autocratic regimes in the region that are facing protests, particularly today, and which may soon be the next to go in the Middle East?s next 'Jasmine Revolution.'"

Ein gutes Leben ? was brauche ich dafür?

?Die AG ?Was braucht der Mensch zum Leben?? der BAG-PLESA
(Bundesarbeitsgemeinschaft-Prekäre Lebenslagen) lädt für den 25./26 März zu einem Treffen nach Leipzig ein. Wir wollen die Regelsatzdiskussion hinter uns lassen und darüber reden, was wir für ein gutes Leben benötigen. Wir wollen erreichen, dass sich in mindestens 15 Städten in Deutschland Betroffene (Erwerbslose, Rentner, Niedriglöhner, Schüler, Studenten usw.) und im sozialpolitischen Bereich Engagierte zusammenfinden, um deutlich zu machen, was ein menschenwürdiges Dasein beinhaltet. Eine öffentliche Befragung und Diskussion von unten also! Dabei soll bewusst der Rahmen der Debatte um höhere Regelsätze gesprengt werden und die Frage nach einem guten Leben in den Mittelpunkt der Treffen gestellt werden. Um diesen Vorschlag in die Tat umzusetzen laden wir Interessierte zu einer Fachtagung nach Leipzig ein! (?) Kosten, Kontaktadresse und Anmeldung unter http://www.bag-plesa.de ? Das vollständige Flugblatt (pdf) http://www.labournet.de/diskussion/arbeit/aktionen/2011/leipzig_plesa2011.pdf
