I'm an anthropologist, sometimes I occupy things & such. I see anarchism as something you do not an identity so don't call me the anarchist anthropologist

    Capitalism is powered by things that were once only available to the elite. This is why its formative period in the Dutch moment is defined by commodities that are nutritionless (tobacco, tea, sugar, coffee). These stimulants are completely cultural.

    At least 449 people died while being homeless across the UK in the last year. Mothers, fathers, sons and daughters. One was a soldier, another a physicist, all with their own tragic story of how they ended up on the streets. Try telling them austerity is over, Prime Minister.

    These are shocking statistics showing how our upside-down our economy is. Workers in the UK are working harder and faster than they were in 1992 - and it's getting worse. We work harder for less. This is a crisis in work.

    Oh by the way, as a drug expert I just want to confirm that yes means putting alcohol or another drug up your anus for quicker absorption. This is the only definition of it. Brett Kavanaugh definitely put alcohol up his butt. So at least we have that.

    First, Markets are a direct result of state intervention in the economy, so a market/planning dichotomy is a false one. (From David Graeber's "Debt: The First 5,000 Years)

    practically everyone I know has met Jeremy Corbyn at least once, or at least been at a party where he was hanging around. Except academics. Almost none of the academics I know have ever been in the same room as him.

    Thanks to for speaking out. Bullies survive when those who could have a role in stopping them choose to look the other way. Many of us have scarring stories. We have to do better.

    43% think if the UK had a "genuinely socialist government" it'd be a better place to live, 36% think worse () 49% think "socialist ideas are of great value" () The vast majority back nationalisation. Is this reflected in the press?

    But the majority of voters aren’t so the papers reflect the majority of the population.
