Labor spies

The Knights of Labor was a national labor union founded by Uriah Stephens on December 28, 1869. They appealed to the un-skilled laborers and women, but they called themselves “a universal brotherhood of workers” and did not turn down prospective members based on their occupation, skin color, or gender (243). The union’s platform bravely proclaims, “An Injury to One is an Injury to All” (243). They actively perused the eight-hour work day, ending child labor, and implementing health and safety…

This decline can be seen as the result of structural changes mainly economic liberalisation, or the lessening of government intervention in the economy, since…

It was around 3:00 a.m. on a thursday night when my friend Trey turned from the T.V. and looked at me with awe on his face. “Dude.” he took a long pause, “I just figured out the answer to everything.” I was a bit confused and suprised by the randomness of his apparent realization, but I was intreagued, “Um, you did? What is it?” “Just because. Thats the answer to everything, just because.” He then proceeded to tell me how any question could be traced back to the answer “just because”. Why do…

It is estimated that 4% of Australians earn on or above $180,000 and the super-rich elite account for 0.027% of Australia’s population (Hodgson, 2014; Radio National, 2014) The two-party-system in Australia such as the Australian Labor Party on the centre left wing and the Coalition between the Liberal Party and the National Party on the right wing are influenced by capitalists therefore neoliberal in their approaches to policy creation and implementation. The ALP were traditionally…

There are four aspects of alienation , first workers are alienated from the product of their labor, second, they are alienated from the means of production, thirdly, their own being ,and lastly dehumanized from society. When workers are alienated we become less and less attached with ourselves”. For Marx, alienation is inherent in capitalism, because the process of production and the results of our labor confront us as a dominating power”( Appelrouth&Edles, 47).

former inspires policy and the latter provides examples to theory (Jervis, 2004). Building upon this correlation, this paper analyses whether Australian Labor and Coalition approaches to Foreign and Defence policy are biased towards two main theories of International Relations: Realism and Liberalism. To this extent, it will be argued that the Labor Party tends to adopt a Liberal lens in Foreign and Defence policy, while the Coalition has a more Realist approach. However, as pointed out by Walt,…

congealed labor. This is how Marx provides the idea that this value of an object is the labor of a worker alienated from them. More importantly, someone else made a profit on this. Money is now an accumulated abstract object representing the labor of the worker. It seems almost needless to say that the capitalist is not only trying to make a profit, but they must maximize their profits to it’s full potential. Therefore the capitalist is forced to give less to their worker than their true labor…
