“We completely misunderstood National Socialism. We knew nothing of the actual power of the movement. We didn’t think these people were intelligent enough, and believed that intelligence was what mattered in politics. 1933 was the year of our great awakening.” Wilhelm Eschmann (Jahner, Vertigo)

We’ve privatised poverty - the story has become all about blame and stigma; there are few social structures to enable people to find strength or resist injustice. But then there’s folk like Kelly, Glyn and all the others at PFG. @jrf-uk.bsky.social@citizennetwork.bsky.socialyoutu.be/4rCMtTLXD04

Impressive to see how Spain transformed its electricity system. Back in 2000, there was hardly any solar or wind and 36% came from burning coal. Today 50% comes from renewables, 21% comes from nuclear, and less than 2% from coal.
