The big-asset owners & managers have so successfully dominated, restraining organised resistance, that, yes, some element of failure & crisis inherent to their own rule has to be part of the basis for a remaining flicker of hope.

I do not dispute for one second that many, many Jews support Israel and that antizionist Jews like myself are a minority. It’s very depressing. But almost 40% of Jews under 45 say Israel is committing genocide — that’s a higher rate than the U.S. population at large.

Lisa Nandy criticising the state of being “far too small and far too timid for too long” about regulating the internet in the face of new technology... It's true but who has been the Culture Secretary for the last two years? Where has she been?
Guardian Politics Blog screenshot: "Nandy says for too long government has ceded too much power over internet to private sector
Lisa Nandy, the culture secretary, criticised previous governments for giving private companies too much power over the internet revolution in her speech to the conference.

In the face of new technology, and in particular the threat that the internet posed to women, the state had been “far too small and far too timid for too long”, she said.

She went on:

I am on a mission to change it.

Because the World Wide Web – that created by Tim Berners Lee, to share knowledge, not exploitation - has revolutionised the way we live. An extraordinary democratic force, a source of connection, creativity and solace that has unleashed incomprehensible hatred, anger and polarisation - ask yourselves this, while it has undeniably shaped and defined us, have we done anything like enough to shape and define it?

Like the printing press, electricity and television, it has upended society. But what is almost unique to this moment is how absent the state - on behalf of its people - has been for so long. We have outsourced a revolution almost entirely to the private sphere to shape and police.

It is ... an almost violent indifference. To the women whose privacy and dignity is stripped from them. To the children who are preyed upon, their childhoods stolen. To people - how many of you in this room particularly women - hounded from public life. Where anger is monetised and profit put before people’s lives.

So conference, we are calling time on that indifference. Enough is enough.

Nandy said the government was introducing a social media ban for children and legislation to make it impossible for them to take or share nude images on their phones. She also said the government would take action to stop the circulation of non-consensual intimate images online."

Andy & his team realise that the capitalist social order, which they see as a good way of harnessing the drive to accumulate wealth for social progress, depends not only on labour exploitation, but on extraction from racialised populations, i.e.imperialism, of which the Zionist project is a key node
