Submitted by Internationalis... on Mar 22 2020 16:24
Capitalism – the current social system based on private property, wage labour and production for profit – is at a turning point.

The History of a Riot: Class, Popular Protest and Violence in Early Colonial Nelson
Submitted by Jared on Jan 28 2020 22:38

The agricultural backgrounds of many of the emigrants and the conflicts of the English countryside – including but not limited to the Swing Riots of 1830/31 – played a role in structuring the gang-men’s response to their situation.
