“Capitalism has always been progressive, something Voltaire noticed in the London Stock Exchange of the 18th century, where he saw Christians, Jews and Muslims trading together.”
Ed West. Evening Standard
Sorry Ed, capitalists trading together is not progressive. All that tells you is that capitalists stick together. They are a class, and as such they have more in common with each other, whatever their religious beliefs, than they do with the working class of the same religion.
The same goes for us – whatever our country of origin, colour, creed, gender or other characteristic, we are, first and foremost, workers. And we have more in common with our own class from anywhere in the world than we have with the ruling class of our home country.
