The Guardian’s poll in their Comment is Free section.
Or as I like to phrase it, “do transport workers deserve fair recompense for working overtime during the Olympic Games, or should we shaft them and tell them they need to take this one on the chin so that business owners can maximise their profit out of the games, while the workers who make it all happen get paid a...

Also under this flimsy use of capitalist, more people are capitalist. I mean unless someone makes the active decision to being ideologically anti-capitalist, they will probably still be in favour of capitalism of some form. Social democrats, under this premise, are capitalist. It’s...

Is this legit? o_o
Do a search by the title on google scholar. I didn’t download/read it because it’s not relevant to what I’m looking for. More relevant than last time when I was finding articles about lobsters though …

yeah that’s part of it, but the working class being well organized is much more productive towards that end.

With the repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act, and the tax breaks for major corporations, the ability for CEOs to hold government and vice-versa- don’t all these point to signs that corporate and state are surely becoming more and more “chummy”.

This Thursday, anybody in the Bristol area should come to Hamilton House because I’m talking about Gramsci. Which is just my favourite past time, and I’d love to share it with everyone.
