¿Hablamos del EFECTO BEN FRANKLIN o por qué pedir ayuda puede caer mejor que ir de autosuficiente? 🧠
A veces no nos cae mejor quien nos ayuda, sino a quien hemos ayudado nosotros. Sí, somos así de contradictorios/as.

I spoke yesterday in Paris about how socialist policy can enable us to overcome social deprivation and ecological crisis, by aligning investment and production with democratically determined objectives.
I noticed that some people assume socialism necessarily means 100% public ownership, but this is not the case. Yes, for many important reasons, we need public ownership of public services, utilities and the commanding heights, and yes we need a public finance system, industrial policy and credit guidance...
But there's no reason we cannot have private firms producing consumer goods like watches, beer, etc - the key is that they should be democratically owned and managed, by workers or communities empowered to determine the objectives of investment and production.
We know that when people have democratic control over production they are more likely to align it with social and ecological needs.
Socialism is ultimately about economic democracy: extending the principle of democracy into the realm of production. Cooperatives are an important step in this direction.

El equipo español de natación artística (potencia mundial de esta disciplina) ha revelado la coreografía acrobática que llevará a la Copa del Mundo con “Berghain” de ROSALÍA.
No, it’s not ‘normal’ for humans to be in competition all the time.
It’s not normal to work for most of your waking hours of the day.
It’s not normal to be stressed 24/7.
Stop taking a few hundred years of capitalism and pretending that’s just how being human is. It’s not.
Something interesting you might not have realized:
A number of words in English are NOUNS when you stress the FIRST syllable...
But VERBS when you stress the SECOND syllable.
-SUSpect/susPECT
-CONflict/conFLICT
-PROtest/proTEST
-CONvert/conVERT
@pitiklinov ¿Qué valor tiene un simple artículo de opinión? No cita ningún estudio que valide la intuición del autor. Además, eso de culpar a las mujeres en general, sin tener en cuenta los procesos de socialización y el marco económico-politico, me parece muy simplón y hasta machista.
The best story you'll watch all week: apparently the Italian town of Punta Marina in Ravenna has been suffering from a peacock "invasion" and residents are not amused.
The editing alone is Primetime Emmy-worthy.
Sound on. You can thank me later. 😎
