Momentum, the left-wing camp of Labour, is considering ending its formal affiliation with the Labour Party, and allowing people to join it who are not members of Labour.
This change is absolutely essential if Momentum is to have real influence (on Labour, or on anyone). As long as the people in charge of Labour are "we don't dare fix much of what the Tories have broken" plutocratists like Starmer, they are only using Momentum and it cannot influence them.
*The Luddite's Guide to Defending Cash (Part 1).*
This is great advice for a way to convince people that cash is a good system and we should not let it be taken away. It provides several good arguments.
Missing from the article is awareness of the injustice of nonfree software. The existing systems for digital payment on the internet typically require users to run nonfree software, and that alone is a reason to refuse.
In my view, tracking all purchases is such a grave injustice that non-cash payments for everyday life are actively dangerous. The article views that as a trade-off between privacy and convenience. I think that view is foolish.
But these disagreements don't invalidate the article and its suggestions may be very useful. I am eager to see part 2.
