London (CNN) -- One of the first journalists to go on the record and allege phone hacking at News of the World was found dead Monday, the British Press Association said.

Sean Hoare, a former News of the World employee who said Andy Coulson "encouraged" phone-hacking, "was discovered at his home in Watford, Hertfordshire, after concerns were raised about his whereabouts," the press association said.

"The death is being treated as 'unexplained, but not thought to be suspicious,' " the report quoted Hertfordshire police as saying.

The class which has the means of material production at its disposal, has control at the same time over the means of mental production - Karl Marx (The German Ideology)

Capitalism is an economic system guarded and maintained by its political power and dominance. Western democracy is only a form of that politics where close cooperation between government, media and police controls public opinion in favour of that democracy which is nothing but democracy for the rich and dictatorship for the rest of society. The recent Murdoch scandal clearly shows the structure of that politics. Nearly all governments in the UK have been facilitating the media empire’s control of the news/cover-up, in return for the support they get from them. Corruption, bribery, political imprisonment and assassination are just the stories of the failure of a daily practice that that democracy implements. People must believe in the system without the need for a dictator such as Mubarak. It is no surprise to see so many people in the UK still strongly believe that they live in a democracy. And this is when the majority do not have slightest involvement in things which affect their lives. Austerity measures, wars and anti-people politics and priorities are in full swing with no trace of people and no control to force the politicians and the managers of society to be accountable.

It is indeed an excellent opportunity for the ordinary to learn the reality and extend their understanding of how this government and the previous ones have been able to do whatever they wanted for their own benefit and their benefactors in the businesses against the will of the people. Tens of inquiries are arranged by them, none of which will have any effect to clear up the system of crimes; they are only noises to show to the public their ability to get on with their business as usual even though everybody can see that many honest individuals in this country can do better than the bunch of privileged which inherently own the politics.

We are talking about the independent media, but that media cannot flourish in the absence of a serious social movement. This is because as long as the media is financed by the corporation it will served their system of economy, capitalism. So again the struggle to create an independent media is interlinked with the struggle against the cuts and unfair and regressive policies of this government. With or without Murdoch’s empire the media is there to remain and to protect capitalism. People need their own media and a platform based on which the real criminals in this country and at the top of society are targeted with the goal to topple them, strip them from the power they have never deserved.
