We often hear “human nature” makes class-free socialism impossible, but this is bogus. Cooperating and sharing is how we survived for thousands of years until private property and money came along, and humans then had to toil for land owners and compete with one another for jobs.

Why do we advocate money-free Marxist socialism? Because when the people do not collectively own and control the means of production (eg power stations etc), and means of distribution (eg energy supply networks etc), 8,000,000 of them end up struggling unnecessarily with bills.

Do you want Muppets in control of a profit-driven capitalist economy, or a society with the people themselves democratically deciding what happens, when, and how, because that society collectively owns and controls the means of production and distribution?

When security tags aren’t good enough at preventing desperate parents from taking baby formula without paying, dummy boxes are being displayed in shops instead.

Under capitalism you don’t get what you need — only what you can afford. And if you can’t afford it, you go without.

We are endlessly told what we want failed in Russia, China, Cuba, Venezuela etc, but we want the socialism/communism that Marx and Engels wanted — a class-free, state-free, money-free society — and those countries never had this. State-owned industries etc is state capitalism.

Leninist groups focus on reforming capitalism to gain support. Misleading, when the entire system is based on a minority exploiting a majority. Demanding fairer capitalism isn’t what a ‘socialist’ party should aim for. A class-free state-free money-free society must be the goal.

How will actual socialism/communism affect housing? While all dwellings will be collectively owned, if you own your home now, you would continue living in it for as long as you want to. If you’re struggling to pay a mortgage or rent for a home, you’d have the right to live there.

Here’s Sir Keir trying to position himself as being on the side of the working class when, just like the Tories, he too fully supports capitalism continuing, along with its unavoidable exploitation, inevitable inequality, and the same old serious problems.

Because it was just dandy for the queen to build a personal fortune worth hundreds of millions on the backs of the working class, but it’s totally unacceptable for us commoners to be making a few quid out of the queen.

The “most important event the world will ever see” is billions of people worldwide having freed themselves from the control, exploitation and deprivation inflicted of them by an asset-owning parasitic elite — not deluded respect for a working class enemy.

The queen could have condemned inequality, poverty, deprivation and misery caused by capitalism, and given up her power and privileges. Instead she had laws changed to increase her wealth and conceal it from the public. She chose to benefit from the class war — not help end it.

Over a 100 years later, voters are still making the critical mistake of handing over decision-making power to politicians who, one way or another, are controlled by the profit-taking capitalist class. Socialist direct democracy must replace their sham ‘representative democracy’.

What angers the poor: long working hours, inadequate wages, unaffordable bills, poverty, homelessness...

What angers a rich king: signing documents with a leaky fountain pen, every stinking time.
