Previously I had no understanding of the labour aristocracy. Perhaps this was because I was part of it and that precludes seeing things clearly. The labour aristocracy in Britain is partly based on income level but is is also based on what kind of relationship you have with the wider working class. Civil servants are overwhelmingly working class, they don't earn a huge mount for the most part, but they are often in antagonistic relations with the wider working class. This is because the state bureaucracy is often enforcing the whims of the ruling class and those who staff the state machine are encouraged to see the wider working class as their enemies. The most obvious example to give here would be DWP staff who administer the welfare system. This group aren't privileged by their pay grades but are encouraged to view the working class people they deal with as the enemy. The further up the management ladder you go the worse it gets as to advance up this ladder takes behaviour that is positively sociopathic. You must be prepared to betray everyone you work with as well as the wider working class. Someone who comes from a working class background will have to throroughly embrace bourgeois ideology if they want to advance to senior levels.

At the same time though many of these people will insist they are big left wingers, many of them vote labour and all of them will be faithful trade union members. They are often the ones who dominate the trade unions as they are the layer that actually votes in the internal union elections.

This layer will be the last to turn on the system but they are the ones that the left spends most of its time recruiting and appealing to. Hence why the Trotskyites, reformists and revisionists are a merry go round of failure.

Private nurseries should be heavily regulated and taxed to make it unfeasible for people to profit from child care. Child care should then be brought under state control and made completely free.

This approach would have numerous benefits. First, it would relieve the financial burden on parents, allowing them to pursue secure employment without the high costs of private child care. This could lead to greater economic stability and increased workforce participation, especially among women.

Moreover, providing free, high-quality child care ensures that children receive the best possible start in life. Early childhood education is crucial for cognitive and social development. It helps children develop essential skills, such as language, problem-solving, and social interaction, which are foundational for their future education and overall well-being.

With state-controlled child care, the focus would be on the needs of the children rather than on profit. This means more resources could be directed towards creating enriching, supportive, and safe learning environments.
Trained and fairly compensated caregivers could provide consistent, high-quality care, ensuring that every child’s developmental needs are met.

We understand the limitations of elections, but stopping a majority government should be paramount. Weakening a bourgeois government is a must.

Just as hundreds of thousands and even millions of British workers are waking up to the total complicity of the Labour party in imperialist war crimes, the cretinous CPB has called for that party’s election victory.

This is not a time to support Labour but a time to intensify our efforts for its destruction!

Having entered the Lancashire cotton mills at the age of eight, Sam Fielden commented: ‘I think that if the devil had a particular enemy whom he wished to unmercifully torture, the best thing for him to do would be to put his soul into the body of a Lancashire factory child and keep him as a child in a factory the rest of his days.’

This willingness to sap the lifeblood of its workers, no matter their age or sex, in the pursuit of profit is what has characterised capital from its earliest inception until today.
