Raphael Dogg You'd enjoy reading The Death of the Left by Steve Hall and Simon Winlow. The core of that book is not only how neoliberalism changed the left's attitude towards economics but how it also influenced people to abandon class politics for selfish individualism.

Personal fortune of Rishi Sunak and his wife up by £120m to £651m.

Fights for his class. Capital gains taxed at lower rate than wages.

12m Britons live in poverty.
Average real wage lower than in 2008.
300,000 a year die waiting for hospital appointment.

This absolutely nails it. The global elite are suppressing effective demand and forcing austerity on nations for no other reason than to protect the value of their financial assets against inflation. Ordinary folk must suffer so they can stay rich. nakedcapitalism.com/2024/05/the-im…

Whenever socialists talk about creating a good society, they're always met with the: 'How are you going to pay for it' rejoinder. The simple answer is 'with money, dummy.'

Sadly, many socialists play into the hands of their sworn enemies by perpetuating the myth that taxes fund

Wow, China and Russia issued an extraordinary joint statement yesterday, with almost 8,000 words when translated into English, and in many ways more important than the famous 'no limits' partnership statement in February 2022.

Here are the points that stood out for me.

Academia - Academics - Universities are you listening. I'll rephrase that I know you are not but do you not feel ashamed that so many working class writers, researchers give up writing for the academic world because they know you shadow cancel them. We all know you do this.

Every day we're told there's a crisis and there's no time to think.

But to make our way through modernity, we will need to break with this narrative and give ourselves time to think things through.

The main mark of modern government is that we do not know who governs, de facto any more than de jure. We see the politician and not his backer; still less the backer of the backer; or (what is most important of all) the banker of the backer.

Just finished The Rise of the Right by Steve Hall Simon Winlow James Treadwell . It's not recent (2015 mainly) but it's 100% relevant. Well argued, informative and well written. I thought I'd read it before The Death of the Left and glad I did. Recommended reading.

We need to push culture and identity into the background and assemble a unified democratic socialist left focused on political economy. US neoliberal globalists are happy for whole regions of the UK and Europe to remain derelict. We are abrogating our political responsibilities.

The invention social media has been such a disaster for our social fabric because it put technologies made by and for deranged managerial retards as a mediator between people's social relations.
These people view basic social existence as dirty work to be automated

The populist wave threatening to sweep the continent isn’t a betrayal of EU values.

It’s a product of the architecture of the EU itself, writes Thomas Fazi: 👇 buff.ly/4dzMltm

Natalie Elphick's defection from the Conservatives to The Labour Party is yet more evidence that Westminster is nothing more than a club of unprincipled political scoundrels who are utterly divorced from real life.

If you want change, vote Workers Party of Britain, not these miscreants.

How banks create money youtu.be/0yMMTDYFlLc?si… The process of creating money is so hideously simple that most people find it very hard to believe. They also find it very hard to understand that vast quantities of money is destroyed every year. This really does need to be

In 2022 Natalie Elphicke used a debate on P&O sacking 800 workers & replacing them with cheaper foreign workers as an opportunity to attack trade unions.

She's just become a Labour MP.
