They’re morons, they’re just dickheads who accidentally struck it rich by chance, not by merit, and this system does not give a fuck about the ability or morality of the idiots who relentlessly quest to amass as much money as possible

passage from Eric Hobsbawm's Age of Revolution: 'Thus, while in 1784 the selling-price of a pound of spun yarn had been 10s, 11d, the cost of its raw material 2s, (margin, 8s, 11d,), in 1812 its price was
2s, 6d, its raw material cost 1s, 6d, (margin 1s,) and in 1832 its price 11
1/4d, its raw material cost 71/2d, and the margin for other costs and profits therefore only 4d. Of course the situation, which was general throughout British-and indeed all advanced β€”industry was not too tragic.
'Profits are still sufficient', wrote the champion and historian of cotton in 1835, in extreme understatement, 'to allow of a great accumulation of capital in the manufacture.' As the total sales soared upwards, so did the total of profits even at their diminishing rate. All that was needed was continued and astronomic expansion.'

The elimination of USAID is a moral atrocity and all involved made a choice to enable, and then lie about, ending the lives of some of the most vulnerable people in the world.

Founding Statement:
The situation for trans people in Britain is critical. We face a barrage of billionaire bankrolled abuse in the media. We endure decades long waiting lists to access limited healthcare, with dehumanisation and pathologisation built in to the system. 

In the job market, we are met with discrimination, lack of opportunity and stagnating pay. We are excluded from housing, healthcare, employment, leisure - now even our use of bathrooms is policed.

Founding Statement:
For trans people, today’s politics is exhausting. The major political parties have used and discarded us time and time again. Too often, exclusionary figures are embedded in leadership capacities, and even in progressive parties, those on the fringes can spew hatred unchallenged.

We say no more. This cannot happen in Your Party. The liberation of all marginalised people can only be achieved through their active and equal participation in class struggle; there can only be a precarious freedom for some under current conditions.

We are the Trans Liberation Group and we are fighting to ensure Your Party, in its current and future iterations, explicitly advocates for trans liberation, and encourages the political participation of trans people.

We know there are prominent figures who have been platformed under the banner of Your Party who hold regressive, misinformed and dangerous views on trans people. We are here to show them that this is our party, and we will fight tooth and nail to prevent this oppressive
politics from taking root.

passage from Eric Hobsbawm’s Age of Revolution: β€œIndia was systematically
deindustrialized and became in turn a market for Lancashire cottons: in 1820 the subcontinent took only 11 million yards; but by 1840 it already took 145 million yards. This was not merely a gratifying extension of Lancashire's markets. It was a major landmark in world history. For since the dawn of time Europe had always imported more from the East than she had sold there; because there was little the Orient
required from the West in return for the spices, silks, calicoes, jewels, etc., which it sent there. The cotton shirtings of the Industrial Revolution for the first time reversed this relationship, which had been hitherto kept in balance by a mixture of bullion exports and robbery.”

Since I left Twitter, naturally I am now being impersonated on Twitter, and naturally I cannot report this impersonation without having a Twitter account. It's a great system. Here's the fraud account if anyone knows how to help.

The clique running Labour pursue reactionary voters for one very specific reason: it is *the right of the Labour Party* that likes and wants politics consisting entirely of crackdowns, flag-fucking, scythed public services replaced by tech industry scams, migrant terror and belligerent war speeches.
