"The individuals composing the ruling class possess among other things consciousness, and therefore think. Insofar, therefore, as they rule as a class and determine the extent and compass of an epoch, it is self-evident that they do this in its whole range, hence among other things rule also as thinkers, as producers of ideas, and regulate the production and distribution of the ideas of their age: thus their ideas are the ruling ideas of the epoch"......
This stems from a correct scientific discovery by a revolutionary scientific socialist, Karl Marx, whose correct observation was that "the ideas of a the ruling class are in every epoch, the ruling ideas". I am now worried that Dominic (whom you refer to as VC) is misguiding 'commmunists" to defend Journalists, who in a capitalist society are agents of the capitalist mental reproduction. factionalism has potential to annihiliate our organisation. -- You are subscribed.
