    The reason why women are unequal to men in class divided societies is because women get pregnant, but men don’t.

    Capital views men as profit makers, whereas, it views women secondarily as profit makers and primarily as producers of the next generation of profit makers.

    “How many times have government asked workers to put up with pain on the promise that things will get better? That before we can reach the sunny uplands we have to pass through the Valley of Austerity? Or that if we tighten our belts today we’ll get Jam Tomorrow?”

    That’s like Leninist regimes telling their workers they have to first pass through the valley of state-capitalism before reaching the sunny uplands of communism (a society of free access).

    It’s not because they’re American they’re against the article; it’s because capitalism is very good at public relations (which it has to be in order to survive).

    Although, it’s strange that in many countries free health care is regarded as a national treasure, but in America, people protest against it and wave signs that read: ‘Free Health Care is Communism*’!

    It seems unlikely spectator sports will still exist in a co-operative commonwealth. IMO, sports will just go back to being what people do for fun; the same way kids play games such as football and cricket just for fun.

    Here’s a very interesting Socialist Standard article about sport, I came across recently:

    Animal Magic by Gordon Smith

    Synopsis:

    World-famous medium Gordon Smith is well known for giving powerful messages from people’s loved ones on the other side. Very often it’s not just human friends and family who come through – the animals who have been close to us in life also continue to visit us after death. In this extraordinary book, Gordon recounts some of the remarkable experiences that people have had with animals in the spirit world and in our world. They include moving accounts of dogs who know intuitively when their owners are coming home, pets who saved their owners’ lives and animals who have found ways of proving they are still with their families after death.

    In my opinion, the voter turnout was so low because the electorate *thought* they had a real choice in 2019 between a left-wing Labour Party and a right-wing Conservative Party. However, in this election, the electorate see it for what it really is, which is tweedledee vs. tweedledum (which it always has been, and always will be, until the SPGB becomes popular).

    The latest poll says the Liberal Democrats are going to win 10 more seats than the Conservatives! Can you imagine!
