Working class is more than being dependent on wages. It’s not a mere category.
It exists only when people who share that wage dependency develop common identity, tradition, sense of agency, & recognise that their common interests are in opposition to those who live off assets✊

The country still has not recovered from this and probably never will. You should have jailed, not bailed. theguardian.com/politics/200…

The thing is, liberalism offers no way out of this, no motivating story about the future, no reason for existence, except to consume as a free individual. That is meant to be enough.

I’m not saying I have better, smarter plans than twenty five years of zombie Thatcherism refusing to die, enforcing ever stronger and nastier propaganda and crackdowns to sustain itself. But I will say that if zombie Thatcherism was any good, it’d have started to improve by now.

No, I'm getting *swarmed* by capitalism defender bots and useful idiots but I've ratio'd the opposition several times in the last few days. The swarming by lying bots and ignorant people shows that I have hit a nerve pulling the curtain from capitalism's required illusions.

There is no nothing remotly 'socialist' about this Labour party, don't waste your vote on people who have done nothing about the water companies and who have continued arming Israel. Vote Green instead.

Palantir - a company which has supported ICE raids and enabled genocide in Gaza - should be nowhere near this country, let alone our NHS.
Kick Palantir out.

Nothing highlights the emptiness of "the markets" more than traders trying to crash the Brazilian economy because a guy who was already President remained so.

Today’s budget was a missed opportunity to put an end to a failed economic model that impoverishes the many and enriches the few.

Out now: ‘What is Economics For? Rethinking a Discipline in Crisis’ taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2026… Reflecting on the work of 50 thinkers who have influenced me over the 50 years since I went to university to study economics, this eBook is both personal and a radical manifesto for change - and it's free.

Healey’s Budget Disaster. This was a terrible budget, terribly presented, that did precisely nothing of consequence for almost anyone. So what are Healey and Burnham up to, other than not a lot? youtu.be/r4p9EY_JHvI?si=NdHX…

My fab daughter Alex has just won a Leverhulme Prize. Her forensic analyses of illicit markets, freeports and special economic zones are on the cutting edge of a criminology coming of age to produce the most revealing insights into the global economy. northumbria.ac.uk/about-us/n…

Who’s profiting from Goldsmiths’ crisis?
Goldsmiths has shed around 500 staff while spending millions on external consultants – including £2.8m on KPMG alone. Brenna Spain reports
ALT Revealed: struggling London university Goldsmiths spent £14m on lawyers and consultants while shedding 500 jobs. Photo: striking staff members on the picket line in September, with fists upraised and signs reading ‘gotta love a picket line’, ‘no cut, no redundancies’, ‘Goldsmiths UCU: education, justice, equality, solidarity’

We have to start talking about a different kind of society, because every single penny that’s going on defence, that’s killing people around the world, is impoverishing us here at home.

The naturalization of the EXTREME wealth concentration of capitalism's slavery by the named ratio "Pareto" and then pointing to approximations of this ratio in *some* natural systems, is the peak of capitalism propaganda's hypnosis, the fooling of the gullible.
Netanyahu's election-day panic worked so well he has eaten a significant number of his own coalition partners.
Cannibalism in the Knesset… by comparison to actual war crimes, how bad is that?

Yeah, bad news folks: you know how everything in Britain has been increasingly generous, functional, pleasant and generally awesome for the last twenty years or so? Well I’m afraid the party is over for you pigs now, and it’s time for you to suck up some real pain. Thanks
