Entwurf für eine Neue, Klassische Linke
(27.11.2012)
Verfassungsorientiert, demokratisch, säkular, sozial, international solidarisch, nichtinterventionistisch und für die Freiheit für den Menschen.
Das fehlt. Hier und anderswo.
Die Digitale Mitgliederumfrage zum neuen Grundsatzprogramm 15. März bis 13. April 2023
Frage 2
Einmal ganz allgemein gefragt: Wozu verpflichtet das ‚C‘ im Namen der Partei? Welche politischen Ziele und Maximen halten Sie mit Blick auf das ‚C‘ für besonders wichtig, welche für auch noch wichtig, und welche für weniger wichtig?
besonders wichtig:
Freiheit 82,5%
(…)
Frage 5
Wie sollte Europa Ihrer Meinung nach in Zukunft eher aussehen? (Mehreres kann angegeben werden!)
Es sollte einen europäischen Bundesstaat mit eigener Verfassung geben: 12,7%
Civil Liberties: Restore our Rights
Our administration will make it a top priority to protect and restore the fundamental civil liberties, enshrined in the Bill of Rights, that hold the essence of what America can be. These liberties have endured constant assault for over twenty years, starting with the Bush/Cheney War on Terror, and accelerating in the era of Covid lockdowns.
Freedom of speech is the capstone of all other rights and freedoms. Once a government has the power to silence its opponents, no other right is safe. We will therefore dismantle the censorship-industrial complex, in which Big Tech censors, deplatforms, shadowbans, and algorithmically suppresses any person or opinion the government asks them to. We will respect the right to privacy and freedom from unreasonable searches and seizures, by ending mass surveillance of American citizens and the abuse of civil asset forfeiture. We will make sure that the Covid-era suspension of the right to assembly, trial by jury, and freedom of worship will never happen again. The same for the right to property. During Covid, 3.4 million business were forced to close. Many of them, including 60% of Black-owned businesses, will never reopen.
A Kennedy administration will respect American citizens and stop treating them like suspects and schoolchildren. We will stop manipulating the public with propaganda and targeted leaks. We will never weaponize the law against political opponents, nor hold our own officials above the law. We will return the intelligence agencies to their proper role as protectors not violators of liberty.

Globale Freiheitsbewegungen – Gibt es sie?
Wir müssen feststellen, dass Freiheit der größte Feind der Machthaber überall auf der Welt ist und kein grundsätzlicher Unterschied besteht zwischen mehr oder weniger demokratischen Staaten, zwischen Staatsformen, die illiberal wirken und solchen, die sich als liberal bezeichnen. Die Freiheit ist nirgendwo willkommen. Wer sie vertritt, stellt sich außerhalb!
Das sollte man wissen!
Hundreds arrested in Australia protests as country posts worst Covid rise
Sydneysiders were plunged into lockdown in late June, and restrictions now reach across two states and the nation‘s capital, affecting over 15 million people.
Pro and anti-maskers are new Remainers and Leavers, with same tribes
Maskers and anti-maskers look set to become the new Remainers and Leavers (with almost, if not quite, the same tribes in both camps). Very few people on either side of that bitter debate were actually very interested in the finer points of tariffs on citrus fruits, or what the European Commission‘s plans for the digital transformation of European industry might be this week. They wanted to say something about themselves.
We might have hoped that Covid-19 would soon be behind us. There seems little chance of that now. The divisions lockdowns have opened up and exacerbated will run for years.
Irrational fear of Covid has crushed Brexit Britain‘s buccaneering spirit
Five years after the Brexit vote, the pandemic response has suffocated the boosterism that was one of the driving forces behind the Leave campaign. On our own, freed of the EU straitjacket, we would flourish by demonstrating a quintessentially British can-do spirit. Instead, we are still exhorted to cower behind the national sofa by leaders terrified of what the future might bring.
Algerians demonstrate in their thousands to demand free press, judiciary
Several journalists were assaulted at the demonstration a week earlier, and Algerian authorities have threatened to permanently withdraw international broadcaster FRANCE 24‘s media accreditation.
‚This is what happens when we politicians trash ancient liberties‘: MP CHARLES WALKER was left outraged when elderly protester was dragged into a police van outside the Commons
The real villains of the piece are us, the politicians, with our cavalier approach to the trashing of our constituents’ civil liberties. For the past eight months, we have removed these liberties almost without a second thought, relying on the overstretched police to enforce our panoply of new and wretched laws.
I did not vote for these appalling laws but accept that I am part of the political collective that has forced them on our constituents. Merely to suggest that we may be ‘over-cooking the goose’ is to invite the wrath of the ‘high-ups’ in Parliament. It is tantamount to heresy to point out that criminalising parents for seeing their children strikes many as grotesque.

The Great Barrington Declaration
Those who are not vulnerable should immediately be allowed to resume life as normal. Simple hygiene measures, such as hand washing and staying home when sick should be practiced by everyone to reduce the herd immunity threshold. Schools and universities should be open for in-person teaching. Extracurricular activities, such as sports, should be resumed. Young low-risk adults should work normally, rather than from home. Restaurants and other businesses should open. Arts, music, sport and other cultural activities should resume. People who are more at risk may participate if they wish, while society as a whole enjoys the protection conferred upon the vulnerable by those who have built up herd immunity.
On October 4, 2020, this declaration was authored and signed in Great Barrington, United States, by:
Dr. Martin Kulldorff, professor of medicine at Harvard University, a biostatistician, and epidemiologist with expertise in detecting and monitoring infectious disease outbreaks and vaccine safety evaluations.
Dr. Sunetra Gupta, professor at Oxford University, an epidemiologist with expertise in immunology, vaccine development, and mathematical modeling of infectious diseases.
Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, professor at Stanford University Medical School, a physician, epidemiologist, health economist, and public health policy expert focusing on infectious diseases and vulnerable populations.
For Years, Journalists Cheered Assange’s Abuse. Now They’ve Paved His Path to a US Gulag
Court hearings in Britain over the US administration’s extradition case against Julian Assange begin in earnest next week. The decade-long saga that brought us to this point should appall anyone who cares about our increasingly fragile freedoms.
Europeans Are Waking Up to Government Covid Tyranny. Why Are We Still Asleep?
Tens of thousands of Germans marched through Berlin on Saturday, proclaiming a “Day of Freedom” and demanding an end to government-mandated face masks and “social distancing.” The UK and Netherlands also saw large protests against their governments’ tyrannical actions in response to the coronavirus outbreak.

COVID-19 and the Constitution: How the Bill of Rights Is Being Tested by the Coronavirus
(20.06.2020)
An analysis of the coronavirus’s impact on constitutional law could fill the pages of a book. This article surveys just some of the ways in which government responses to the virus pose thorny issues under the First, Second, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Eighth, and Tenth Amendments. Many of these issues are already being litigated; others loom on the horizon. By the time the coronavirus is placed under control, which could be months or even years from now, its effect on constitutional jurisprudence—like its effect on nearly all facets of society—will likely be profound.
Someone show Dr. Fauci this now!
They Are Who We Thought They Were
The demonstrations, in which millions have flooded the streets of cities across the nation to protest police brutality, represent a display of civil unrest unlike anything most Americans have ever seen, and though their long-term effect is unclear, one thing has been made clear: The police very much are who the demonstrators who turned up to protest their brutality thought they were.
Meanwhile in Sochi on Sunday, six members of Russia‘s ‚National Guard‘ (росгвардейцев) versus one man who clearly loves his freedom.
(18.05.2020)
Here‘s a better angle. The man was refusing to stay inside at a special Covid-19 quarantine centre. There are currently 393 people obliged to stay in the facility at Sochi observatory. This also explains the cheering.
