'Capitalism is busy writing off its millionfold losses. The end is not yet. The final loss of capitalism itself will be the nation’s gain.' (James Leatham)
This month we are facing taxing times - from giant corporations to 'tax raising powers' My suggestion is that we all embark on a migratory journey to find out more about 'the path less travelled'. Under capitalism I believe that the one thing we have in common is that we are 'all losers now' and I'd like to encourage you to take the headphones off from the lame soundtrack our lives have become. It's time to start using our brains and our votes to create the kind of world we want to live in. 'You may say I'm a utopian dreamer... but I'm not the only one' Don't leave it to the celebrities - let's 'just do it' for ourselves! |
Socialization - does it come before or after the living wage?
This month we go back to the beginning of Leatham's 'political awakening'. Find out about 'The Co-operative Commonwealth' for yourself.
