The author seems to be blaming capitalism. Britain is not socialist enough, I guess.
Exactly right. She wants more free stuff. Everyone knows everything is free in a communist system. Everyone will be equal.
I didn’t read the article but being the Guardian it’s fairly safe to assume she’s agitating for socialism in a “you have nothing to lose but your chains” kind of way.
That said, free trade has wrecked the USA and free trade is dogmatic for many with a liberal economic bent. And by liberal I mean influenced by the Austrian school, not soft leftist.
