London’s Metropolitan Police arrested another 492 people over the weekend after a protest Saturday in Trafalgar Square, as the Starmer government accelerated its crackdown on opposition to the Gaza genocide.

The entirely peaceful protest was held to oppose the proscription of Palestine Action. It was organised by Defend Our Juries and attended by over 1,000 people. Of the arrests, 488 were for holding up signs declaring, “I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action”.

    Oh boy, hyper capitalism, to go from we pay you to give us your soul- to you have to give us your soul and body or we flay your family is a natural step. This is hyper capitalism. Long ago you chose that corporations are human . It is not capitalism to not give humans food or rights. It is hyper capitalism. It is too much to give money to megacorp demonic entities that consume the earth to end our lives as a species, it is too much . It is not capitalism. Not the cute little communist opponent no it is HYPER capitalism, another beast an insane and psychotic beast

      “Hyper” capitalism is just capitalism at its root without strong government controls. Capitalism leaves larger and larger groups out - that’s how it works. Capitalism is designed to have winners and losers and without socialism to pick up those left out, they are ground under the system to death. The capitalism we’ve all known has always been heavily regulated (even if it’s becoming less regulated). Past capitalism always relied on exploiting the lower classes, immigrants, or slavery. Capitalism working as a self contained system has always been a pipe dream.
