    I read a very good article in the Standard a few years ago about the Monarchy and how it is utilised by the owning class in this country to maintain passivity among us proles. The article described how other nations employed their own methods… Statues of Sadaam in Iraq, Allegiance to the flag in the US, empty slogans like “Egalite, Liberte, Fraternite” etc in France etc etc. Can anyone give me a link?

    The term Socialism is about as popular as the words paedophilia or cannibalism. You only have to read the utterly depressing comments made by workers in response to the SPGB Twitter account. The Trap is that Peter Joseph and Zeitgeist tried to get around this problem by completely avoiding any mention of the S word. Still they got nowhere. Perhaps due to the fact Zeitgeist were not democratically, consciously and politically organised. Then there’s the Chinese working class. Cuban, North Korean, Ex *Commies” in Russia, Eastern Europe etc. Imagine trying to sell “Socialism” to them. What a sorry mess. What cannot be faulted is the Party through its near 120 year history. Tirelessly utilising every limited resource it had. But a tiny gnat in comparison to the deafening propaganda machine of Capitalism including the “Left”.

    “Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
    Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
    To the last syllable of recorded time;
    And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
    The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
    Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player,
    That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
    And then is heard no more. It is a tale
    Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
    Signifying nothing.”

    It was the tiny burrowing marsupials and other seemingly insignificant lifeforms which survived the Chixculub extinction event 66 million years ago.
    When the Billionaires and their lessers in the Millionaire club run out of provisions and crawl up out of their luxury shelters they’ll all be fucked. Fame and fortune will be meaningless in a nuclear winter.
    Yes they will have had a stay of execution only to emerge into the planet as a mass cemetery. Cue the next phase of evolution which will have commenced the minute the bombs are dropped. Surely to fuck the Capitalists are not so dumb as to let this nightmare happen? Perhaps we might be lucky and avoid arnaggedon this time. But what will the situation be like in 5 or 10 years time?

    Don’t poke the Russian Bear someone said. Is this the prelude to the end game of “Humanity”? A destructive virus that has brought the Earth thousands of years of never ending war, pillage, pollution, rape, murder and death.
    We inhabit a “Civilisation” where weapons technicians develop land mines disguised as children’s toys then formulate ever more hideous weaponised baccili through chemical means of causing agonised death. All for a paycheck. It’s disgusting.
    As I said to my old man a few weeks before he snuffed it, I don’t label our behaviour as Capitalism. It grew out of us. It is us. We are the system. The whole sorry lot of us.
    Thankfully I live right in the middle of the City Centre. If the despots finally achieve the messianic wet dream of billions of devoted Muslims Jews and Christians by finally blowing this beautiful planet up to fuck then hopefully I’ll be vaporised. Immediately. The Earth won’t miss me. Or any of us.

    I highly recommend this astonishing documentary by Sergei Loznitsa.

    MUBI is a streaming platform specialising in “Art House” movies. They offer a weeks free trial. A further four free weeks is offered if you decide to cancel.

    This is a must see for anyone. Sadly phones and tellies are smarter than workers nowadays.

    I tried handing Brand a copy of Socialism or your Money Back years ago. I put a note in it saying ignore the word Socialism if you want. I also made him up a mix tape of music. You’ve got to get his attention.
    The guy means well but he’s all over the place. A debate/interview/Q&A (not on Discord) between Brand and the WSM would be a great opportunity.

    “Will workers see this and think she and other oligarchs are parasites? While we are facing the worst ‘squeeze’ on living standards for 50 years.”

    No. They’ll just keep tuning into “The Masked Singer” or Football or Porn or whatever Harry and Meghan are saying.

    I understand you A. It’s easy to think as if the whole of the working class have already heard the case for Socialism through the decades. But as you know the truth is the Party has never been able to make Socialism an immediacy because the SPGB message is utterly drowned out by the gigantic behemoth of continual Capitalist media propaganda and nationalism, racism etc even down to what we are taught as kids in school. Add into that the massive confusion caused by the “Left” to the extent that trying to sell Socialism to the Chinese working class of today is even more impossible because they think they’ve been living in Socialism for the past 70 years. The party has tried it’s level best in the past 120 years to make its voice heard. I fear a situation in decades to come when the 99% finally see the light only when the planet is reduced to a gigantic graveyard. When it’s just too late.

    Monbiot inevitably ruins it in the last paragraph. He can no more imagine a world without Capitalism than anyone else can. To think Monbiot. Varoufakis, Chomsky, Thunberg, Brand, Wolff, Klein, Zizek, Moore and all the other blowhards are paid to spout such guff whilst SPGB members could demolish them all just fills me with fury.

    This wee lassie has made more sense in a few words than all the guff of the liars and goons at Cop-Out 26. Let’s hope she wakes up. To the solution.

    No Parasite is on Amazon Prime. Which is freedom of choice in Capitalism I guess.
