A few days after I wrote this article the Labour Party withdrew support for its candidate in Rochdale and on Monday evening instructed local members not to campaign for him. This was due to comments this Starmerite fellow had made over the conduct of Israel during the Hamas incursion on the 7th of October. The lack of a Labour candidate is likely to lead to Galloway being elected which is disturbing the establishment and undermining Starmer. Of course ructions in the Labour Party will be muted because it is after all an electoral party whose single aim is to get elected, and nothing must get in the way of this. But clearly the high water mark for Labour has passed and from now on it is all downhill.

According to the Hindustan Times, Israeli officials have been recorded saying that they cannot win the war as long as UNWRA continues to feed the Palestinians in Gaza. Thus this smearing and resulting defunding of UNWRA must be seen as part of the war on the Palestinians aimed at starving them into submission. It proves once and for all that it is not only Israel, but Western Imperialism itself, which is guilty of genocide.

In the previous article I maintained that capitalism did not have the capacity to deal with the problems facing society, this decade. This article confirms this claim by recourse to the primary documents setting the tone for Davos 2024. These documents reveal a ruling class unsure of its future while admitting that its mechanisms for dealing with pending crises are broken, especially at an international level.

ERRATA. the date this article was published was in fact the 31st December 2023.
I hope this will be the last time I have to correct a notable article for failing to use turnover in its calculations. This article and the previous two form a trilogy which demonstrates in a practical manner why turnover cannot be excluded, and why when excluded, it results in false positives, aka a misinterpretation of reality.

Currently, I seem to be repeatedly correcting authors who are not deploying Marx’s categories scientifically. I may as well extend this criticism to the FED itself as I have done in this article.

It seems that latterly I find myself in the position of having to correct authors who are using Marx’s categories incorrectly. In the case of these authors there was no reformist agenda, but rather an agenda influenced by the specific set of circumstances found in dependent countries. While it is true these economies under-sell their exports and over-pay for their imports, that they are cursed by under-valued currencies, this cannot be allowed to contaminate the categories established by Marx to expose and explain the dynamics as well as the failures of capitalist production.
