A Jacobin’s article in Capital section. Yet Capital mostly looks nationalist and patriotic, not a web of social relations and geopolitical power. This kind of capital is not connected to the Israeli war on Gaza, Gulf capital in UK, the ‘new cold war’, the stagnation of the UK economy and low productivity … ‘The Big Money’ are treated as an isolated thing that bears no relation to capitalism and the environment as one whole.
Furthermore, capital in the article has no relation with why people vote and why [will] vote Labour – the article was published before the Labour win in the 2024 elections. Why do people vote and keep voting although they know about ‘the big money’. Is this big money really the fundamental factor or is it the years if not the decades of interconnected social and economic factors of the British capitalism that makes ‘a government loose and an opposition doesn’t win’, thus perpetrating the power of capital, capital accumulation, an imperialist regime of terror and corruption. Why has people in the UK voted for a ‘New New Labour’ in ‘power’?
