The #militarization of society has not spared the healthcare system. #Hospitals and #medical staff are being made ‘fit for war.’ This regressive social transformation, driven by the #war effort, is met with both support and resistance within the #healthcare sector: https://berlinergazette.de/calculating-war-readiness-the-militarization-of-healthcare-between-affirmation-and-resistance/

Models and practices of #democracy that exclude illiterate people are inherently elitist and contradictory. Consequently, despite its considerable efforts throughout history to provide #workers with primary education, the left’s high democratic aspirations suffer. It is therefore high time to rethink what could connect us in the face of rising disaster nationalism, argues Slave Cubela in his contribution to the #DeepDemocracy series: https://berlinergazette.de/beyond-disaster-nationalism-democratic-movements-must-rethink-territoriality/

As long as the #economy remains outside the realm of democratic control, democracy is intertwined with a destructive, #colonial system that threatens our existence on #Earth
In his contribution to the #DeepDemocracy series, Lukas Warning argues, that no socio-ecological transformation can occur unless the restructuring of the economy is subject to collective control. A plea for realizing #democracy through #socialization https://berlinergazette.de/realizing-democracy-why-we-need-to-switch-off-the-autopilot-and-take-control/

In the Kurdish Freedom Movement, ecology is one of the three pillars of democratic confederalism, alongside women’s liberation and radical democracy. In her contribution to the “Deep Democracy” series, Gülay Kilicaslan explores how this concept allows us to rethink democratic self-determination as a networked practice that transcends borders: https://berlinergazette.de/democratic-confederalism-against-borders-and-their-extensions-dismantling-state-patriarchal-and-capitalist-structures/

As we look ahead to the future use of #AI in #warfare , we must not place our trust in improvements in accuracy, reliability, etc. To prevent the repetition of technologically optimized, systematic, large-scale killings of civilians, such as those in #gaza , we must build international pressure, hold the perpetrators accountable, and achieve an internationally binding regulation of military AI use, Jens Hälterlein argues: https://berlinergazette.de/algorithmic-dehumanization-lessons-from-the-use-of-ai-in-the-gaza-war/

Experiences with peace-building in the postwar city of Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina, provide cause for serious reflection on how economic inequalities between formerly hostile groups can lead to social divisions. Vesna Bojičić-Dželilović examines the material conditions necessary for a dignified and peaceful life.

How can we break this vicious cycle of #ClimateCrisis, economic crisis and #war? Clearly a major concern for those working at the intersection of #research and #activism, this question was the focus of #PluriverseOfPeace The BG #conference brought together researchers, #artists, and activists from over 25 countries. The goal was to explore the convergence of #peace and environmental struggles. Check out the videos here: https://berlinergazette.de/pluriverse-of-peace-conference-intro/

Recently, the #EZLN updated their political approach by proposing ‘the #Common and #Non-Property’. This concept transcends the limited #military perspective on #war + #peace , emphasizing developing relationships that challenge #capitalist #modernity from the grassroots level through dialogue with ecological #commons. In his #PluriverseOfPeace text, Felix Krawczyk discusses how this method of constructing peace can help overcome various impasses of the global #polycrisis: https://berlinergazette.de/inspiration-ezln-ontological-struggles-and-the-world-of-many-worlds/
