Defining a Socialistic virtue ethics
rightists like to pretend that they are part of a long tradition, that they have a monopoly on the idea of virtue (in ancient Greek, ἀρετή). They are very wrong. They are wrong in the sense that they do not subscribe to a virtuous ethics, despite their love of marble statue profile pictures on various social media networks that shall remain unnamed. They espouse an inherently unethical, unvirtuous, and simply stupid ideal. In fact, the right isn't just that, they're evil if w

A Brief History of Labour Day
1st of May demonstration of the SPÖ at Rathausplatz in Vienna. © C.Stadler/Bwag (KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA) - It’s been a month since the first of May - the starting of a new month in the Gregorian Calendar and yet, it is also a day to celebrate the work of the labour movement - and a recognition of what happened in the city of Chicago on this day back in 1886, where a peaceful workers protest in favour of an eight hour workday suddenly turned bloody on the fourth of the month,
