Trump's Victory -- What it Says to Us, What it Makes Me Think

12.12.2016

Dear friends,

Trump's election to the office of the President of the USA has rattled many among us – leftists, socialists, ecologists, eco-socialists, liberal democrats, simply progressives etc. The first reactions are now over. Now is the time to analyze how a candidate with Trump's views and political positions could win. As we know, such election results are also possible in Europe. That is why a deeper than usual understanding of this phenomenon is needed. Otherwise, we can pack up our things and retire.
    Actually, generally speaking, a deep analysis of the current world situation is necessary before we can even begin to discuss what to do in this situation. My latest contribution to this analysis is the essay

Trump's Victory – What It Says to Us, What It Makes Me Think,

which I have published today in my blogsite

I hope this essay would prove to be useful. I would be much obliged if you distribute it among other interested people and/or publish it – unaltered and unabridged – in some other website.

With best wishes
