The primacy of identity has transmorphed class struggle into ressentiment politics. Generation identity is the bastard child of the failed alterglobalisation movement. If at a time when poverty is the source of wealth you insist on denying the economy matters, you sure inhabit culture, but it's

I never got this argument. Gramsci was an open Marxist, thus open to the abuse of all the closed Marxists around. He kept his ear to the ground and during the rise of Fascism, he was quite isolated and marginalised by his contemporary closed Marxists because, amongst other things, he was trying

In the long 20th cc managerial class fractions played a mediator role, between the ruling and ruled classes; capitalist and workers. They mediated their ideologies; liberalism, conservatism, socialism, and communism. By making alliances and formulating consensus based on compromise between them

Marx's analysis of society has traditionally advanced a two-class framework; of worker and capitalist. From false premises only bad arguments can flow. # distributed via : no commercial use without permission #is a moderated mailing list for net criticism, # collaborative text filtering

In a self-celebratory tone, the so-called radical left that has peddled anti-EU rhetoric as its best card to gather a movement of its own at a transnational level, is now claiming some credit for the result of the UK referendum. The financiers have lost. The EU bureaucrats have lost. The s
