Neoliberalism results in governments fearing to tax or stand up to big biz. One politician who paid the price for standing up wrote about what he learned: formaclorimerbooks.ca/product/oils... . Wishing more media (esp. @cbcradiocanada.bsky.social) would interview him.

"The crisis by 1939 was not caused by pacifism, but by decades of violence and militarism that helped create the conditions in which Hitler thrived." Article by @alexchristoy.bsky.social Via @wagingnonviolence.org wagingnonviolence.org/2026/05/hitl...

The “Hitler question” should never justify war
The argument that only war could have stopped the Nazis rests on shaky assumptions and simplifications that need to be challenged.
