    Thoughtful words.
    Lovely video.
    Delicious background audio.
    Daytime headphone use, taking me to the forest when I am not really there.

      Thank you for your kind words. Virtual life: a topic for a video I think

    I didn't know about OGS Crawford before I picked up your channel. I shall look on the OS Maps in a different light.
    Communism - the Individual in service of the State
    Socialism - the State in service of the Individual
    Capitalism - Everyone in service of themselves
    Dictatorship - Everyone in service of an individual
    Oligarchy/Theocracy/Aristocracy - Everyone in service of a few
    As to Marx, I just see him as an economist. This is how the wealth is made and this is where it goes to, no different from Adam Smith ... its just Macro-economics. Its what you do with that information that matters.

      Annapolis. Huh. Interesting choice for a video about 20th Century English Communist Tumuli Enthusiasts. But it works!

      @@JimBagby74 it is a protestant hymn in English. Hmmm, do you think we have some degree of shared cultural identity between our two countries? Seriously thpugh, classical and religious music on RUclips is quite difficult to find, especiallly profound and grave music. I might’ve chosen something else if I had had the choice, something from the Latin mass perhaps. It is well sung though.

    The left need to focus on reconnecting the public with an understanding of how political choices affect their lives, rather than talking about political theory. Highlighting how privatised water companies paying large dividends to their hedge fund share holders, whilst pumping untreated s#it into our rivers every time it rains, is a very obvious starting point for this reconnection

      That position is slap-bing in the middle of political opinion for most citizens in this country. It would be entirely populat for a new Labour government to ser up trusts or whatever for public utilities and no one would blink. But what about the stuff where the fur will fly? The vanguard of the labour movement being made up of doctors who have deftly linked their cause withe cause of the NHS and on God knows what money already. Who are our allies internationally? The left were absolutely vile over the invasion of Ukraine and I resigned from my political grouping in my union when my union sent out three-three!-different and contradictory press releases when it started, leaving me with the choice of staying with those who would surrender to Putin or those who regularly surrender to the employers. I now aim for a quieter life, it is all entirely barking.
