    I actually believe that most capitalists just don't understand why we put up with their system. They have the world at their feet while our kids have no hope and no future. It is the workers that fail to understand their own latent power to take control.

    I'm not a Guardian-reader but another comrade has pointed to this article, which seems relevant to this thread:http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2014/jul/01/-sp-tory-summer-party-drew-super-rich-supporters-with-total-wealth-of-11bn

    Interesting one Adam.I've just seen Michael Howard on the BBC Daily Politics program, (one time leader of the Tories) deny that the attendees of the fundraising dinner party tonight have anything to gain from sipping champagne with government officials. Yet he claims Labour is in the pockets of the unions. According to Howard the guests simply see the Tory party as the best party for governing Britain.Shore Capital, the main sponsors of last years event had the following to say. “Shore Capital supported the event and made a financial contribution as they believe that the Conservative party, led by the prime minister, are the best party to govern the country.”If we believe the likes of Howard, all we have here is a pleasant dinner party where billionaires pay thousands of pounds a table to exchange pleasantries with government ministers, with the added privilege of donating large sums of money to the Tories, in exchange for doing the right thing for Britain.Seems they do care after all.
