Not to be confused with New York City

The State of New York is located in the northeastern region of the United States and is the fourth most populous state in the country. It is known for its diverse population, cultural landmarks, and economic power.

New York City, the state's largest city and the financial capital of the United States, is home to Wall Street and the headquarters of many major corporations. As a result, New York has a significant influence on the national and global economy. However, this concentration of wealth and power in the hands of a few individuals and corporations is a prime example of the capitalist system at work.^[1]

New York State also has a long history of labor struggles and unionization, particularly in the manufacturing and service industries. The state was a major center of the labor movement in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and it continues to be a major center of organized labor today. This is a reflection of the class struggle between the working class and the capitalist class.^[2]

New York State also has a diverse population, with significant numbers of African Americans, Latinos, Asian Americans, and immigrants from all over the world. Immigrants, particularly those who are undocumented or working in low-skilled (according to capitalists) jobs, are often paid less than their colonial counterparts. This is a reflection of the process of globalisation and the exploitation of people of color by capitalist economies.^[3]

Despite its economic power, New York State also has significant poverty and inequality. This is particularly true in urban areas like New York City, where the divide between the wealthy and the working class is stark. This is a reflection of the capitalist system's tendency to create and perpetuate poverty and inequality.^[4]
