Mental Health and Capitalism
The Depressing Nature of Capitalism One of the many and possibly more disturbing facets of decaying moribund capitalism is the mental health crisis. And the decay of the system and the rise of mental health crisis is no coincidence. It is a very common thing in society, particularly in young people. Societal Decay With ongoing…

Why Eurovision is Political
And Israel needs to be in it Bulgaria was the surprise winner of Eurovision 2026, less of a surprise if you remember that Bulgaria adopted the Euro at the start of this year. The European Broadcasting Union is separate from the EU, but 22 countries whose broadcasters are members are also in both the EU…

Long overdue extension coming for the Tyne & Wear Metro
The era of late-stage capitalism in which we live is exemplified by an almost non-existent manufacturing base and in its stead, the export of capital to countries where cheaper resources and labour maximise profits. Today, the main source of profit generation in Britain comes from capital flows into the City of London, and through stocks…

Aggressive wars, threats of military action, the kidnapping of presidents of sovereign nations and interference in their affairs, and illegal economic sanctions that impoverish and kill millions.

It’s Only a Game
I recently heard of a new board game in development called “The Troubles: Shadow War” a strategy game where players take on the role of the IRA, the British Army or the RUC. I haven’t played it, and neither has Kenny Donaldson MBE, as the game hasn’t actually been released yet. He has claimed that…

Limits Of Trade Unionism
Britain is the oldest capitalist nation, and the oldest imperialist nation, in the world. As it industrialised first and most comprehensively it created gigantic class conflicts between the early proletariat and the capitalist class as the jobs of artisan workers (such as weavers) were destroyed and these workers forced into the growing industrial cities like…
