Currently they rake in just over £ 3 million a month, tax free, levied as direct taxation from working people. Fortunately this breadline existence is topped up by a healthy £ 321 million p.a. income from the "Crown Estate" (assets that 'go with the job' e.g. farm rents, harbor moorings and fishery licences). That amount is rising rapidly. Profits are expected to rise to as much as £450 million by 2020. Lucrative new sources of money include offshore wind farm developers, who must pay the Crown Estate for the rights to the seabed around Britain's shoreline out to a distance of 12 miles. There are already 436 turbines around the 7,700-mile coastline and the number is expected to exceed 6,000 within a decade.

Universal rent control, though a worthwhile reform, historically reduces the value of the buildings but does not prevent the landlord from making a profit -- partly because they have political clout to limit the rent control. "A democratic socialist recognizes the capitalist system as being inherently oppressive, and is actively working to dismantle it and to empower the working class and the marginalized in our society. Socialists recognize that under capitalism, rich people are able — through private control of industry and of what should be public goods — to accumulate wealth by exploiting the working class and the underclass. Functionally, this perpetuates and exacerbates inequality. "A progressive will stop short at proposing reforms that help people but don’t necessarily transform the system. For example a progressive might advocate for forcing landlords to do necessary repairs on buildings. But unless you advocate for universal rent control and frankly, eventually, the abolition of private property — though that’s not my campaign platform because it’s not very realistic — what you’re actually doing is just kicking the can down the road." https://jacobinmag.com/2018/07/julia-salazar-interview-socialist-new-york-senate _ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com

By the mid-70s the theorizing of Screen magazine was taking center stage, and much of that theorizing was informed by linguistic models derived from Sassure, psychological interpretations from Lacan, structuralism, etc, and the jargon was the "suture"," le petit object a", the "gaze", etc., very different from substituting intellectual montage for Hollywood montage. I remember the enthusiasm for Noel Burch's article classifying Hollywood movies according to their formal challenges to the dominant ideology, where violation of the Hollywood representational codes constituted a critique. The other big article was Stephen Heath's piece on Touch of Evil in Screen. My point is that the movies were used as examples to prove the theoru rather than as investigative tools for understanding the movie.

The disruptions working through the value chains of corporations and in certain sectors turnd out to be more systemic and substantial than was originally thought. The long-term effect may be to shorten or diversify the supply chains while moving towards less labour intensive forms of production (with enormous implications for employment) and greater reliance on artificial intelligent production systems. The disruption of production chains entails laying off or furloughing workers, which diminishes final demand, while the demand for raw materials diminishes productive consumption.

However, since 1848 the traditional principle of socialist politics was class independence from the capitalists. The so-called “socialists” in this country have forgotten that. They don’t know that they’re continuing the Popular Front because they don’t study history. And when you’re in a Popular Front with the Democrats, you are the junior partner: they set the agenda, and you go out and knock on doors or make phone calls.
