About Daniel Taylor

Daniel Taylor is a writer for the RedFlag.
  • Capitalist society

    The classes of capitalism

    Originally published: Red Flag on April 14, 2021 (more by Red Flag)  |

    Capitalist society is divided into different classes, and the relationships between those classes shape the production of wealth, the dissemination of ideas and the nature of politics.

  • What is exploitation?

    What is exploitation?

    Originally published: Red Flag on March 24, 2021 (more by Red Flag)  |

    The word “exploitation” is special for Marxists because it contains a unique insight about the way wealth is produced in class societies.

    Jeremy Corbyn is the victim of a monstrous campaign of slander

    Originally published: Red Flag on October 30, 2020 (more by Red Flag)  |

    After years of being slandered, Jeremy Corbyn has been suspended from the British Labour Party. It’s a shocking development.

  • Defunding, disarming, defeating and abolishing the police

    Defunding, disarming, defeating and abolishing the police

    Originally published: Red Flag on June 17, 2020 (more by Red Flag)  |

    Is abolishing the same as defunding? Does either one mean the police have been defeated? What does it mean when liberals start saying abolishing the police isn’t all that scary? A socialist take on an exciting set of slogans.

  • Thank you, rioters

    Thank you, rioters

    Originally published: Red Flag on May 31, 2020 (more by Red Flag)  |

    Once again, Black America has surged to the front lines of the global struggle. This year, the United States has stood out primarily as a leading centre of right-wing lunacy, political breakdown and murderous incompetence in the pandemic. Now, it is showing the world something else: the potential for sudden eruptions of mass resistance that can change everything.

  • Capitalism is killing us. We have to destroy it

    Capitalism is killing us. We have to destroy it

    Originally published: Red Flag on March 15, 2020 (more by Red Flag)  |

    COVID-19 has challenged humanity: on what principles do you organise your society? The pandemic could have been defeated by cooperation, planning, transparency, and social solidarity. But instead, it was born into a society based on competition, secrecy, lies, and greed.

  • What does it mean to be a Marxist?

    What does it mean to be a Marxist?

    Originally published: Red Flag on February 24, 2020 (more by Red Flag)  |

    What’s in a name? Being a Marxist means being a revolutionary anticapitalist, a fighter against all forms of oppression, an internationalist who wants to end capitalism around the whole world, and a believer in the power of the working class.

  • Socialism is back, with good reason

    Originally published: Red Flag on August 3, 2018 (more by Red Flag)  |

    The spectre of socialism is again haunting world politics.

  • Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orban

    As an anti-Semitic fascist movement grows, Zionists attack the anti-fascist left

    Originally published: Red Flag on June 21, 2018 (more by Red Flag)  |

    Far right politics is making a comeback. And with it comes political anti-Semitism.
