I'm a little curious how many have come from the disappointing result for workers party, they're pretty populist, but their reindustrialisation policy dragged me in, not a big fan of the man, can just agree with people I don't like

Ignore him, hes a tax dodging troll. A liberal. You may not be young, but you arnt inexperianced either. Your wisdom is valuable comrade. We young uns arnt all that either. Were naive, inexperianced, less capable than we will be. We have our strengths and and weaknesses too. We, the people, all people, are the future. Long live humanity, young or old.

Here’s a study from 1981 where socialist countries perform vastly better in almost all categories than capitalist countries. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1646771/?page=3 Keep in mind that this compares countries that were feudal or colonized just a few decades earlier to literal colonial powers, so the fact that Socialism still comes out on top is frankly amazing! ✊🚩 When britain already has such a strong economy, imagine how good its quality of life could be under Socialism (this is ignoring the fact that the global north should be helping out the global south because of its history of exploitation, but you get my point)

britain by structural definition will eternally restrain her proletariat to poverty, preferring slim stockholder margins to three months of heating for her subjects. other nations have already matured their revolutions and tightly harness the ferocity of productive forces for public benefit. Let the city of london build its tall pyramids of sand, yet to demand the heart of empire suddenly express self-realization is too much

[@ONEisN0THING]

And so our hand is forced to change the very structure of Britain. Brittania is a dead dream of a dead empire. The british federation, or the barbarian islands are our future. We must have solidarity if we are to have survival comrades.

[@lochnessmunster1189]

'poverty'? Can you name a time when the ordinary people of Britain were better-off than they are today?

[@0MVR_0]

@lochnessmunster1189 yes, the era just before enclosure of the commons. When a man down on his luck could seek subsistence in the Shires. One should hesitate to confuse technological advances with economic prospects.Your nan had to turn off the heating and developed illness despite huge leaps in medical science

[@lochnessmunster1189]

@@0MVR_0 My nan had to turn off the heating? How do you know that? Please tell me, before the enclosure of the commons, what the average life-expectancy was for the ordinary person, what access they had to penicillin and other drugs, and how many had electricity, gas, hot water, carpets, central heating, double-glazing and internet and television in their homes.

[@ONEisN0THING]

@@0MVR_0 My Nan grew up in Jordy shores in the 60s. Your not just right, your point is tempered by caution. She slept by ice on the inside of her window comrade. She used to get lashings on her cold legs for her bus being late. She deserved better. The borgouise deprived my other Nan of healthcare during covid. She died in a hospice, when she wasnt even terminal. The lung ward got converted to a covid ward. You astutely mentioned that progress in technology is not the same as improvemnts in standards of living. That blame falls solely at the feet of the capitalists. Are you an internationalist Marxist? Or are you with the communist parties? I pressume someone as educated and intellectual (It seems more so than myself but if I say for certain it would be unproven as of yet) is organised into a group?
