Also applies to Sunak's dad.
With Sunak, Patel and Braverman all having one or both parents from Kenya or Uganda, there is a risk in people seeing all East African Asians as reactionary due to the colonial racial hierarchy. But there are some counter-examples like Makhan Singh.

The workers at Imperial Typewriters and Grunwick who led militant strikes in the 1970s were also East African Asians.

Thinking critically would be fine, even good, but people don't think critically, they just parrot that any coverage is preparing the ground for US intervention.

There have been massive cost of living protests in Iran, accompanied by prolonged strikes and attacks on police stations. They didn't get as much coverage as the current wave of protests.

libcom.org/article/iran-b…
This isn't because they were 'against US sanctions' so geopolitically inconvenient, it's because the current wave of protests is shaking the Iranian police and security forces in a way they did not. As far as I can tell anyway.

No this isn't right either. When Marx talks about productive vs unproductive labour he's doing so *from the perspective of capital accumulation*, i.e. whether the labour contributes to capital accumulation or is a personal expense.

There are a lot of passages in Marx where he is really, really explicit about this, with concrete examples. Such as this one on the circumstances under which a piano might be built.

Priti Patel being the daughter of Ugandan Asian refugees and Nadhim Zahawi being an actual Iraqi refugee is an absolute indictment of representation politics and them. But there is something about it being wheeled out as a gotcha that doesn't sit right.
1960s/1970s immigration acts by both Conservatives and Labour were in part to stop British subjects from the Caribbean, India, East Africa with British passports coming to the UK. Those laws were the direct antecedents of the Windrush scandal.

1968 you had the dockers strike in support of Enoch Powell, then the rise of the National Front in the 1970s.

Raw materials aren't the only constant capital involved in the production of a McDonald's burger. You can't just do price minus ingredients plus wages and call that surplus value.
Constant capital includes amongst many other things, chairs, tables, kitchen fittings, cash registers, the new ordering screen thingies. These are incredibly hard to calculate into the cost of an individual burger because they tend to last a long time.
This isn't incidental to the rate of profit. The self-ordering systems are designed to reduce the amount of time staff spend dealing with customers, so that time is all spent on preparing/packaging food. Increasing the intensity of work.
