It is at once a great privilege and and terrible responsibility, to take up the mantle after great thinkers as Immanuel Kant, Jürgen Habermas, Søren Kierkegaard, Adorno and Karl Marx.
Being a centreal european thinker in the same mould as the Frankfurterschool and off cause Danish thinking, the schools that these predecessors have produced are pretty amazing.
At the other hand, it is also my privilege to counter and rebel against my forefathers. Maybe I am in the same family as mr. Karl Marx, but that only makes it more prevalent to say, that yes I do respect the man, but it is my job and right to discuss the man.
No, I do not believe in an international borderfree world, I believe, as the predecessor of Marx; Hegel, in a g-d inspired nation.
This does not mean, that I do not understand and respect many of the ideas of Marx, yes, there should be a social system in the state to protect the weak, yes, there should be a community to stem from, yes, workers are to be supported. But, it is, to me at least, folly to think, that we can have solidarity with people we do not know. We need to start with what we know, and then start from there, and expand it. This is the natural way. As Alinsky said, we need to ORGANIZE! This organisation is done by someone, with the aim of something. But also, as the old union leaders said. Let us work with people who make plants and produce stuff, if we can.
It does not necessarily have to be an adversarial relationsship, we can, if we try, make it work, and make sure, that things are still in the oven, both in Europe as well in the US.
No, not all workers are in love with the green change, some prefer to have a car, and live in a small flat. They cannot afford an electric car.
At the other hand, we should make it so, that we build a greener world, hopefully to the benefit of all.
G-d bless the will, to ORGANIZE, and make things, made in America.
