Teslokratie – Kapitalismus entdemokratisiert?

Teslocracy

Has the final stage of green, democratic capitalism been reached?

GIGA: The events in and around Grünheide have reached a temporary climax with the negative outcome of a residents‘ survey on the expansion of the Tesla factory, a forest occupation and an attack on the power supply. Has the „final stage of green capitalism“ proclaimed by some critics really been reached here? Or, looking back on the developments of the last four years, could we not also be talking about the final stage of parliamentary democracy? What remains of it when economic development emancipates itself from democratic decision-making? Isn’t this what right-wing libertarians and big tech billionaires have been dreaming of for years: capitalism without democracy?

What is the next step in the socio-ecological transformation? What capital has the climate? Who limits corporate power? What is union busting? How do you reach the stars via rough paths? Will we live forever? And is it true that Elon Musk isn’t coming to Berghain? More on this on 17 April in the Grüner Salon.
