The not so known (and often criticized) benefits...
This is the translation to English of this article, which presents the summary of this report created by the INSM. I hope you enjoy the conclusions as much as I did:
The low-wage sector in Germany is the entry way for millions of people in a better-paid employment. This is a central finding of the report “The low-wage sector in Germany: development, structure and individual career...

“El Estado, en todo Occidente, es un yonkie instalado en la barra libre de dinero ajeno, y ni siquiera en el marco de esta crisis extrema (provocada por él al manipular el valor del dinero y jugar a dirigir la economía) va a renunciar a seguir gastando sin medida. La casta política sabe que el gasto es el arma que la mantiene en el poder. Repartiendo ese gasto discrecionalmente compra su...

– Esta barbaridad se dice en el texto que pide el apoyo a la campaña de firmas para pedir el referéndum sobre la modificación de la Constitución. Así, sin sonrojarse. Y ha sido apoyado ya por más de 70mil personas: http://actuable.es/peticiones/pide-referendum-ratificar-reforma-la-constitucion

What is "libertarianism"?
Well, in this article by @David_Boaz published for first time in 1997 but completely “up to date” you can find some answers. I strongly recommend to read it completely, but I extract here the “key concepts” about “libertarianism” and an interesting (and sincere) corollary:
Individualism. Libertarians see the individual as the basic unit of social analysis....

Finnish - German deal about Greece
In accordance with my Finnish colleague, Germany is going to have lots of difficulties to change the position of Finland with regards to the Greek guarantees for the next bailout.

I don't know, so I'm an atheist libertarian
I don’t believe the majority always knows what’s best for everyone.

Hoy el colectivo “Democracia Real Ya” (signifique eso lo que signifique, aunque cada vez significa menos) ha retransmitido en directo la charla que Carlos Martínez (de ATTAC, si, estos) ha dado en @LaCasaInvisible de Málaga.

THE BOOK that every leader in the world should...

It builds on this strategy for an orderly withdrawal of the state from many areas of the life. (…) With this program, the government’s share in a single term would be reduced to below 30%. The exemption of income tax could be more than doubled,...
