Date File Lines Diff Why
2026-04-19 landingPage.md 127-129 - any updates or revisions will be made explicit... with no major new material anticipated before 2027 Replaced a hard 2027 pause...
2026-04-19 landingPage.md 127-129 + any updates or revisions will be made explicit and recorded on the edits tracker... further additions are likely to be infrequent ...with a softer statement of cadence as I didn't go a week before starting a new article.
2026-04-19 edits_tracker.md new file + added edits tracker page Created a dedicated page to make future revisions and additions explicit.
2026-04-22 Commentary/09_What_To_Do.md new file + added new commentary article Added a new article on reconstruction, productive capacity, public ownership, and defence-led mobilisation as a contingent lever rather than a permanent settlement.
2026-05-12 Commentary/10_The_Rich_Get_Richer_But_Why_Assets.md new file + added new commentary article Added a new article as a response to Gary Stevenson arguing that upward redistribution explains who buys assets, but Britain’s weakened productive base explains why assets have become the safest destination for wealth.
2026-05-20 Commentary/11_Competitive_Guild_Socialism.md new file + added new commentary article Added a new article on a hypothetical model of competitive guild socialism, used to examine how labour could be institutionally protected without abolishing markets, prices, entrepreneurial initiative, or decentralised production.
2026-05-29 Commentary/12_The_Woke_The_Left_And_The_Materialist.md new file + added new commentary article Added a new article on an examination of how the contemporary Left collapses socialist, liberal, progressive, woke, and anti-capitalist traditions into one category, arguing for a distinct materialist socialism grounded in labour, production, surplus, social reproduction, and institutional reality rather than liberal recognition politics.
2026-05-29 landingPage.md 107 + highlighted where email can be found if correspondence wanted For anyone who does want to discuss the ideas here directly, my email address is available in the Permissions and Copyright page. I have no objection to correspondence, and no objection to blocking emails if necessary.
2026-06-02 Commentary/13_Intersectionality_Materialism.md new file + added new commentary article A critique of intersectionality as a useful diagnostic tool that becomes unstable when converted into an implementation logic, arguing that it tends to individualise structural problems, destabilise institutional ecology, and shift the burden of social failure onto frontline workers.
2026-06-06 Commentary/14_The_False_Dichotemy_Dividing_Us.md new file + added new commentary article A materialist critique of liberal and reactionary identitarianism, arguing that the Woke Left and the Far Right are not equivalent but both misread social conflict when identity categories replace class, institutions, geography, and material explanation.
2026-06-07 Commentary/15_Education_Policing_Fear.md new file + added new commentary article Why a materialist socialist account of education and policing is not National Socialist, and why the real problem is the overloading of frontline institutions after the collapse of wider social infrastructure.
2026-06-10 Commentary/16_Materialism_Is_Not_A_Mood.md new file + added new commentary article Why materialist politics cannot treat words as infinitely malleable, and why terms such as Nazi and white privilege must be judged by whether they track real mechanisms rather than moral intensity.

Notes

This tracker is intended to stay concise. It is for substantive edits, clarifications, additions, and structural changes rather than typographical corrections unless those affect meaning.
