of the great mass of victims of capitalism; those many struggling commoners who are ripe for the re-introduction of seriously-active economic-class politics - if only someone would offer us a plain-language, plain-action manifesto of how the gangsters of capitalism need to be opposed; practical policies for the discontented majority, like - for example - the recent Labour party GE manifesto, that was so well received that it boosted the party's performance noticeably. That's to say: oppose gangster capitalism by time-proven mass action, grown from the formation of popular grass-roots practical organisations, not from small, solipsistically navel-gazing minorities maundering on about abstruse, jargon-bedecked ID stuff, about which most politically and economically oppressed proles couldn't give a shit; that distraction being strictly for the - ever-thinner - layer of already-privileged, bourgeoisifying babblers in the ivory-tower/fink-tank/career-politics/lamestream-media circles of our Dante-esque Inferno. Apropos: See this perceptive analysis by editor Catte at OffFraudian of Dickens' 'A Christmas Carol', and notice, as Catte points out, how the vile conditions of life for poor people, brought on by an earlier version of neoliberal capitalism, against which Dickens inveighs in his classic story, are re-appearing right now, especially in the over-rich countries of the world, as general world prosperity gets relentlessly squeezed by the Synergising Global Crises, and the gics and their bourgeois servitors do what they always do at such times: screw the weakest for even the small pie-share that they still hold. Gics love the attention-diverting irrelevancies of ID-politics; the only thing that really panics them into material concessions is mass action that threatens to turn uncontrollably into full-on revolution if not immediately placated; 'Ye are many, they are few!': https://off-guardian.org/2018/12/24/charles-dickens-a-christmas-carol-at-175/
