@EstefanoWorth@rogerlwhite Read the history where the UK was “broke” in 1945 and built a comprehensive welfare state nevertheless.
Privatising oil was an ideological, not fiscal, decision. And the wrong one.
@ClarkeMicah@DailyMail Many of your commenters don't seem to know that the true condition for Japanese surrender was the Soviets joining the US in the Pacific war, not the destruction of its cities.
In any case, the mass murder of civilians to achieve military objectives can never be justified.
@DavidDPaxton Do the people around you on a daily basis know you support the instantaneous mass murder of children?
Or is this just online personality for you?
@AaronBastani There’s clearly decent buy-in for this new party but don’t you think many of these signups will be trolls intending to derail the voting processes?
@stepfanie they are extremely noxious to almost all societies which they inhabit since they hold massively disproportional and often unaccountable political power
anyway that cares about democracy will find this quite easy to understand
“Shareholder dividends are human nature, as old as time”
“And then god said, let there be quantitative easing”
“Humans have always lived and breathed collateralised debt obligations”
Calling capitalism an “ideology” is kind of ridiculous. “Millions were killed by capitalism” is a ridiculous thing to say. Capitalism is just the default mode of economics. “I made this item and I will sell it for something else” has been going on since ancient times.
@usmanakhtar00 She hasn’t done much politics for many years though
I agree the potential was massive but comparing her to AOC is not quite it since Black clearly doesnt have political ambitions
I’m disappointed but wish her well of course
@K_Niemietz Umm yes so it’s going in the wrong direction for the past 30+ years isn’t it?
So he’s not wrong?
Also the decrease in wealth for bottom 50% affects living standards dramatically more on a relative basis than any other segment. Poor getting poorer means destitution.
@AaronBastani The conversation is not whether English have a right to be proud (sure) but what it is they should be proud of.
There’s little vision in actually existing English nationalism except reverence for the military, royal family and football team.
A new vision would be welcome.
@Layo_FH 10-15% ceiling could absolutely still kill the Labour Party and perhaps that’s what he’s going for, rather than trying to switch Reform voters
