The Socialist Party Of Great Britain

Chinese capitalism. The asset-owning master class exploiting and depriving the working class. No different to every other country’s capitalism. https://www.theguardian.com/…/revealed- disney-ariel-doll-ea…

The Socialist Party, being the political expression of the working class, stands for the overthrow of the existing capitalist system and for the reorgansation of society into a social democracy. This will mean an end to the private ownership of the means of life; it will mean an end to wage-slavery; it will mean an end to the army of the unemployed; it will mean an end to the poverty. https://socialist-courier.blogspot.com/‚Ä ¶/we-will-succeed-if‚Ķ

British capitalism 2018: 320,000 people are homeless. A rise of 4% on last year. 36 new people become homeless every day. The homeless figure is an underestimate as it excludes people unknown to the authorities or experiencing other types of homelessness. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-4628 9259

“UK austerity has inflicted 'great misery' on citizens, UN says. ... About 14 million people in the UK, a fifth of the population, live in poverty and 1.5 million are destitute, unable to afford basic essentials ... predictions that child poverty could rise by 7% between 2015 and 2022, possibly up to a rate of 40%.” https://www.theguardian.com/…/uk-auster ity-has-inflicted-gr…

In Remembrance Day week, another one from the archive on the internet for the first time. From 1957, a review of Sir John Kennedy's war memoir, The Business of War:

‚ÄúMany claim Marx‚Äôs ‚Äúpredictions‚Äù did not come true. Has the control of industry become more and more concentrated into fewer and fewer hands? Has the proportion of capital invested in plant, machinery, and equipment grown more and more in relation to that spent on living labour? Has the process of capital accumulation proceeded, not smoothly, but in fits and starts, periods of rapid growth ending in periods of slump? Have the rich got richer? Have more and more of the old 'middle classes' become employees? Has the peasantry declined? Has the proportion of wage earners in the working population gone up? Have money-commodity relations spread more and more into all aspects of life? Has the economy become more and more international and globalised? Need we continue?‚Äù https://socialist-courier.blogspot.com/‚Ä ¶/the-spgb-and-marx.‚Ķ

Another one from the Socialist Standard archives.
It's 1910 and a Liberal Government - relying on the votes of Labour MPs in Parliament - is sending in troops against striking miners in South Wales. A certain Winston Churchill is the Liberal Government's Home Secretary.
It's class war in the raw.

Another one from the archives. November means the ubiquity of the red poppy, and November this year being the hundredth anniversary of the end of World War One, it means an extra barrage of propaganda and crocodile tears.
From 1973, an article from the Socialist Standard which restates the socialist, class-conscious opposition to capitalist war:
