This is Dennison Point in Stratford, East London. It’s a 23-floor block of flats which is part of the Carpenters Estate which was built in the late 1960s. There are two other blocks just like this one on the same estate, along with a selection of ‘low-level’ housing.

Dennison Point currently has seven residents.

Yes, seven.

Make that make sense?

Hod Carriers in Manchester early 1900s.

Class gets its significance from the process of surplus extraction. The relationship between worker and owner is essentially an exploitative one, involving the constant transfer of wealth from those who labour (but do not own) to those who own (but do not labour). This is how some people get richer and richer without working, or with doing only a fraction of the work that enriches them, while others toil hard for an entire lifetime only to end up with little or nothing.

A brilliantly performed reading of the poem we recently posted.

James Nasmyth - A Steam Hammer at Work, 1871

Production becomes social, but appropriation remains private. The social means of production remain the private property of a few. The general framework of formally recognised free competition remains, and the yoke of a few monopolists on the rest of the population becomes a hundred times heavier, more burdensome and intolerable.
