“You DO realise that Socialists hate the EU, don’t you? They see it as a capitalist club and want to see the end of it. Corbyn, for example, has always wanted out.”
Who cares what Corbyn thinks. His is a provincial opinion based on wanting his Party’s brand of socialism to rule Britannia. Competing interests with the EU. They are still all a bunch of socialists in policy, the EU and Corbyn and his socialist Party.
Like China the EU espouses capitalism as long as they control it by tons of rules and regulations through centralization, and then are a bunch of commie/fascist/pinko/socialist Libs when it comes to social control of the “masses” and imposition of more and more PC baloney.
Fie on all of them, a bunch of gov’t control freaks, and that’s what is looking the U.K. in the face if they don’t BREXIT. Either you are for the U.K’s sovereignty or you aren’t, in which case you are a Globalist and not a Nationalist and a Populist for the U.K. citizens. You are the equivalent of RINO’s, establishment types or Never Trumpers who think Trump is a “clown” too, and not for America First. Not a stance for you to be proud of.
Communists share Clement Attlee’s visceral opposition to Euro-federalism and the surrender of our country’s sovereignty. To this we add a long history of opposition to the actually existing slash-and-burn capitalist economics that has stripped our country of productive industry and deprived generations of young people of productive skills.
It is precisely because we want an alternative to Britain’s crazily unbalanced and financialised economy that we campaigned for Britain to leave the neoliberal EU and in doing so free ourselves from the anti-union judgments of the ECJ, the restrictions on state aid to industry, the obstacles to public ownership and the drive to militarise the EU.
The EU is an irreformable instrument for impoverishing the continental periphery and the working people of each country to the benefit of a predatory class whose wealth increases with every one of capitalism’s succeeding crises.
Communists want a People’s Brexit. Unconstrained by EU treaties, single market rules and directives, a left-led Labour government could develop a worker-led industrial strategy; aid industry, invest in training, youth and jobs, social welfare, housing, education and health services; and take the transport, energy and postal service profiteers back into public ownership.
you say “Corbyn’s is a provincial opinion” — I thought LEAVE was supposed to be a nationalist opinion, now you say it is a provincial opinion?
Of which province?
And you say that the EU controls capitalism by tons of rules and regularization — do you really think the US doesn’t have rules and regulations? Far less yes, but it still does have rules around trade, standards etc.
And centralization - yes, too much for a confederation, but still far less than a union of nations like the UK
Seriously - can you give real examples of what you state that isn’t true for the UK and the USA as well?
as i’ve said before - do NOT compare Trump to BoJo. Trump was a successful businessman and he kept his promises. BoJodidn’t do that when he was foreigne secretary.
