The woes of the radical union activist:
Why do the workers again and again accept the “sellouts” of their unions and watch their condition keep getting worse?
[Adapted from remarks by a GegenStandpunkt editor on a panel with a labornet activist in Berlin, May 2011, titled “60 years of the DGB:
Cooperation or class struggle?”]
– The reason why unions have to exist and the purpose for which they exist – one would think they would be one and the same – do not fit together
– What union demands and their assertion look like on this basis
– The different way radicals argue for union demands
– Facing the toughness of this insight

The soldier
1. The use of violence is forbidden to everybody, but is the duty of the soldier

3. Soldiers are perpetrators and victims of violence who deserve honor

We return to bourgeois science because we won’t put up with the dogma that correct thinking is dispensable and that the whole world should be seen in the rosy light of norms, values, and incontestable (because good) constraints:
Motivation Psychology
The quest for laws which determine the human will

A continually burning question for psychologists, educators and philosophers – but wrong nonetheless:
Is the will free or determined?
– Questioning the will
– The struggle between the two self-cancelling determinants of the will
– From reason to blame – a thoroughly moral question
– Moralityʼs contradictory view of human nature
– “The will is free”
– “The will is determined”
