A concrete understanding of the conditions of the working class is more imperative than ever, and the history of the Merthyr Rising emphasises the importance of a truly organised and politically guided working class to challenge Capital.

Assisted dying is understandably so an incredibly contentious issue - but all I can think about here is the increasing prevalence of chronic illness and debilitating long term sickness caused by COVID.
