By the 1960s or thereabouts, the ‘Labour Aristocracy” was a small fraction of the class , and received relatively little fiscal renumeration as a bribe. This was parsed out on the basis of official figures in 1975. At that tmie organisations with a pro-Mao ideology were putting the opposite view. -> http://mlrg.online/political-economy/republication-classes-in-modern-britain/
I realise that Tony Norfield contests this view. I have not attempted to update this analysis of 1975, but I warrant it would remain much the same. When Engels first coined the term, it was in the heyday of the Indian empire. I believe it was quite a reasonable term. We have had prior discussions here about the role of the trade union leaders at the very top of the pyramid. Some of these are I believe, still accruing enormous dividends for their activity. Again - I have not tried to update these figures for that stratum - for today. H -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
