#RearWindow A Life of #Dissent The Life and Work of #EPThompson
E. P. Thompson, a British historian, poet, novelist and activist, was a voice of dissent in the dogmatic political environment of 20th century Europe. As a member of the New Left, his work and activism sought to bridge the gap between Marxist theory and practice, and to heal the fracture of the Cold War divide. http://multimedia.telesurtv.net/v/rear-window-494231/

He points out #EPThompson, #TheMakingOfTheEnglishWorkingClass (Chapter 3). #PatrickColquhoun and the #ThamesRiverPolice founded in 1798 as the true origin of oinkers.
Any #historians out there to comment on the origins of the pigs here in #Britain?
@jared
Feels like only half the story if you don't say what England did to them in response:
`The plethora of primary sources emanating from the propertied upper classes detail how the mass public hangings at the Luddite trials suppressed the destruction of private property and the perceived threat to “public peace” from the Luddite “disturbances.”`

Thompson brilliantly explores the changing relationship to time in class society, describing the change from 'time passed' to 'time spent'; the class struggle over the creation of "the new universe of disciplined time" in factory and school.
