COMMUNISTS SEEK TO ABOLISH THE FAMILY, SAYS WHO?

The far right accuse communists of seeking to abolish the family, religion and the family. Glued to the past they distort the future to frighten workers from reaching for it. Communists do not call for the abolition of the family by the state, nor for the state to rip babies from the bosom of their parents. Instead we call for a fundamental change in the social relations and economic conditions which shape present day families and households. The outcome is for the future to decide. But already present day changes in conditions, the movement from single earner households to double earners, children unable to move out of the roost due to poverty already demonstrates that the family is not frozen in time, but that it is continuously undergoing change.

THE IDEOLOGICAL STRUGGLE IS THE OVERTURE TO THE SYMPHONY OF REVOLUTION

I neglected to discuss reconciling embodied values with reproduced values. What I showed for the first time is that market value is neither one nor the other. Instead it is formed from both as a weighted average comprising the share of the older production and the newer production and as the share of the newer production grows so the market value increasingly reflects this progressive shift. Here is the missing sentence I added to the article. “Solving the conundrum between embodied and reproduced values by showing how market values reflect the shift in the weight of production as new production displaces the older techniques of production.”

IT’S THE RATE OF PROFIT, STUPID

ERRATA: I have changed a sentence in the article – from the balance sheet it is then revalued based on the expected discounted cash flow to the balance sheet it is sometimes revalued based on the expected discounted cash flow. Revaluing assets on the balance sheet is not an automatic process as implied in the first sentences. ‘Mark to market‘ as this process is known is at the discretion of the board of directors.

People v the establishment? Farage is the establishment

I wrote a satirical piece on Farage. It is based on his resignation speech where he boasted of empowering 5 million tax paying Brits to vote while going on to praise tax dodgers funding his party Reform. You cant make it up. Here we have a party funded by tax dodgers seeking to help local tax payers vote. The man is a fraud and more and more voters are recognising this. IPSOS found almost two-thirds (63%) of Brits said they are “dissatisfied” with the Reform UK leader in June 2026 compared to 49% in June 2025.
