Dr. Arnold:Linke Politik

Leftist politics has focused heavily on inclusion issues and the fight for the civil rights of minorities in recent decades. This policy should continue in order to stabilize an open society. However, to tackle the central problems of today's society, namely social inequality and climate change, a policy must be implemented that confronts the power and dominance of the wealthy and promotes reforms as well as fundamental systemic changes. Overcoming capitalism is fundamentally necessary if a social, democratic, and ecological society is to be created. This goal can only be achieved if the vast majority of society participates. To pave the way in this direction, two crucial steps are required, for which the entire left must advocate: direct democracy and unconditional basic income. Representative democracy and the capitalist economic system cannot stop social inequality or climate change and must be gradually overcome. If these two focal points of the future are not addressed, the survival of humanity is indeed at stake.
