Robbo, this article makes some interesting comparisons on different rates for different nations.
Pablo Escobar in Colombia was paying the rent and supporting a whole poor neighbourhood, provided constructions material to build homes, and buildings and one of that neighbourhood carries his name
A guide to either the recession or the recovery
I see that Prince Charles has caught it and he’s over 70. Let’s hope he survives if only to show that if you are over 70 and get it you’re not done for.
Another example of the elite getting it and why they might take more seriously establishing procedures and facilities to deal with the next pandemic. Though, to tell the truth, shorter term profit considerations are more likely to prevail as they generally do.
Talking of members of the elite, it’s them who seem to have brought the virus to Brazil where, unlike their wealth, it will trickle down to the rest of the population.
Wildcat strikes are taking place in some factories and industries in the USA, workers are refusing to continue working, or to come back to work
Oh dear the capitalists are suffering. Would a whip round be in order. comrades
This can’t be. It’s against human nature !

WhiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiT?
Gordon Brown has urged world leaders to create a temporary form of global government to tackle the twin medical and economic crises

I know David Icke might be a loon but it’s funny how a few of the things he’s been harping on about for years are now coming to fruition. Epstein, Saville, Prince Andrew, mandatory vaccinations and now Gordon Brown calling for a temporary Global Government.
The enabling act passed in parliament in February is quite breathtaking. Most SPGB traditional activity has been made illegal in the past 10 years. I just don’t believe the hysteria surrounding this Corona cult. Also I find it dubious that governments suddenly want to “Wrap Arms” around every worker.
In terms of mortality figures alone this whole con trick doesn’t make sense. This podcast ends on an insane note when the guy asks the question “Are Demons Real” to prep next weeks broadcast. But there are grains of truth here. What the elite have planned for us is terrifying.
Sneer if you want…
Ozy, if you look back on this thread, you will find that I was perhaps the most sceptical and cynical about the COVID-19 threat. It took comrades many posts and links to convince me otherwise. It was perhaps TWC’s two links on message #195486 that finally succeeded in convincing me that I was wrong with my analysis and emphasis.
As the blogger on SOYMB, I have made a judgement not to post messages that are apocalyptic predictions (as I have been guilty of on other threads here about climate change) but instead highlight how this pandemic is exposing the inequalities inherent within capitalist society and also to point out the cooperation and mutual aid initiatives being set up as positive signs of perhaps social changes that in future maybe stepping stones to socialism.
Even governments have now had to face for what for them must be harsh realities of the contradictions that the capitalist system has built into it. I view Gordon Brown’s admission for the need for a global government as being a positive for our view of the necessity of world socialism rather than the propaganda of the nationalist authoritarianism that is being promoted by some.
Surely, our task now is to use this health crisis to strengthen the case for socialism – that even with social distancing, and self isolation we are social animals and when push comes to shove, we will work together as citizens of the world.
