Did manufacturers ever warn you that chewing a piece of gum a day can mean ingesting about 60,000 bits of microplastic a year? Synthetic gum is made from petroleum-based polymers, as are car tyres and plastic bottles. Human lungs, blood, brains and testes are already contaminated with microplastics.

You will die long before you get family-sized social housing in parts of England. 100-year waits are absurd. Capitalism doesn’t prioritise human needs as the genuine (Marxist) socialist society will. In England alone there are now around 700,000 empty homes that www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Had enough of reading shite from those who think capitalism can be reformed and made to function in the interest of the working class majority? Then read The Socialist Standard. April’s edition is out now: www.worldsocialism.org/spgb/sociali...

Capitalism is profit-driven, money-obsessed, outdated and unnecessary. While it continues, so will the chaos, suffering and deaths it causes worldwide. Although capitalism appears invulnerable, in reality, majority support for moneyless Marxian moneyless socialism is all that’s needed to replace it.

Capitalism is like an old manky threadbare pair of jeans. People keep on voting for different governments that try to patch holes while more and more keep on appearing because the trousers are totally worn-out and beyond mending. The sensible solution is to throw them away and change to a new pair.

Many in poverty will be visiting Tesco Express stores desperately hoping to obtain some free food near its expiry date. Shops’ workers and charities will get first pick. Most people’s visits will result in them getting nothing for free. Only Marxist socialism guarantees free access to what you need!

Millions of people are angry about rip-off bills or being cheated out of compensation are often the same people who voted for capitalism to continue. You should expect to be exploited and cheated when you vote Labour, Tory, Lib-Dems etc, because THAT is what capitalism does to the working class!

Do you want to live and work in a democracy? Well, if you do want a democracy, then you want a Marxist socialist society. Why? Because Marxist socialism is literally the definition of “democracy” — “rule by the people”! What exists now, under capitalism, is an oligarchy — rule by a rich minority.

More people see themselves as working class now than in 2019 as capitalism continues diverting wealth upwards to the asset-owning elite. ‘Middle class’ workers are just better-paid working class people. If you MUST work to pay a mortgage, bills etc, you’re working class! yougov.co.uk/society/arti...
