Erroneous? In the 12 years or whatever Labour where in charge what legislation did they introduce to undo the deregulation of the banks that Thatcher introduced? I'll wait.
They bailed them out with our money and eventually Osborne and the same city spivs that destroyed them bought shares for peanuts but us plebs weren't allowed . Labour and Conservatives serve the same master , it's bewildering that people can't see this . I hate both but apparently I'm lumped in with the blue team despite voting for both parties one time each .
A Socialist does not own property in one of the worlds richest cities. You own capital, you're a capitalist.
Your hero Marx would put you in a gulag Archie Petty-Bourgeois Socialism The feudal aristocracy was not the only class that was ruined by the bourgeoisie, not the only class whose conditions of existence pined and perished in the atmosphere of modern bourgeois society. The medieval burgesses and the small peasant proprietors were the precursors of the modern bourgeoisie. In those countries which are but little developed, industrially and commercially, these two classes still vegetate side by side with the rising bourgeoisie.petty bourgeois has been formed, fluctuating between proletariat and bourgeoisie, and ever renewing itself as a supplementary part of bourgeois society. The individual members of this class, however, are being constantly hurled down into the proletariat by the action of competition, and, as modern industry develops, they even see the moment approaching when they will completely disappear as an independent section of modern society, to be replaced in manufactures, agriculture and commerce, by overlookers, bailiffs and shopmen. In countries like France, where the peasants constitute far more than half of the population, it was natural that writers who sided with the proletariat against the bourgeoisie should use, in their criticism of the bourgeois régime, the standard of the peasant and petty bourgeois, and from the standpoint of these intermediate classes, should take up the cudgels for the working class. Thus arose petty-bourgeois Socialism. Sismondi was the head of this school, not only in France but also in England. This school of Socialism dissected with great acuteness the contradictions in the conditions of modern production. It laid bare the hypocritical apologies of economists. It proved, incontrovertibly, the disastrous effects of machinery and division of labour; the concentration of capital and land in a few hands; overproduction and crises; it pointed out the inevitable ruin of the petty bourgeois and peasant, the misery of the proletariat, the anarchy in production, the crying inequalities in the distribution of wealth, the industrial war of extermination between nations, the dissolution of old moral bonds, of the old family relations, of the old nationalities. In its positive aims, however, this form of Socialism aspires either to restoring the old means of production and of exchange, and with them the old property relations, and the old society, or to cramping the modern means of production and of exchange within the framework of the old property relations that have been, and were bound to be, exploded by those means. In either case, it is both reactionary and Utopian. Its last words are: corporate guilds for manufacture; patriarchal relations in agriculture. Ultimately, when stubborn historical facts had dispersed all intoxicating effects of self-deception, this form of Socialism ended in a miserable fit of the blues.
The answer is none, not a one. In fact they introduced a wee bit of deregulation themselves. Where we are now is the cumulative affect of nearly 50 years of successive right wing governments promoting the myth of global capitalism and an economic outlook based on fairy tales and propaganda. I wonder if Archie could cite one Socialist thing 12 years of Labour government gave us. I shouldn't think so. The Tories are cùnts but they do what it says on the tin. Labour are possibly worse because the claim to be different but when it comes to the crunch they are just the same.
Scorched earth - just squeeze as much credit out of the system to enrich themselves for two more years, then leave a ****ing husk for a Labour coalition to try and sort out ( as in 1974), then come back five years later saying they have the only solution now - austerity ( for the poor)
12 years of Labour led to a sub-prime crash in the US? It was capitalist socialism that saved the banks worldwide though, the type even Ben Bernanke said was instigated by Brown and Darling
12 years of Labour inactivity in undoing the harm that Thatcher did to the country not only in the banking sector but the draconian employment laws and anti- Union legislation. The lack of any particular credible attempt to replace our social housing stock after the disastrous right to buy scheme. The lying to the British people and taking us into illegal wars. The destabilising of the middle East. The slaughter of millions of Iraqi citizens that entailed. The selling off of national assets at knock down, never to beaten low low prices. The subsidising of multinational companies through an ill thought out tax credit scheme that stifled wage growth. The disaster that is PPP contracts that have saddled us with badly built Schools and Hospitals that we will still be paying for long after their alloted shelf life. But hey, they did sup Shampers with the Gallagher brother at number 10 and coined the phrase cool Britannia so that's good eh. Socialism and the then Labour and the current lot are total strangers my friend.
In the last 50 years Westminster has abandoned the wealth of nations and have run their business based on the Gordon Geko big book of economics, greed is good. Welcome to 21st century Britain. Much the same as 19th century Britain just less flat caps.
Eee, I remember the days when the lefties were adamant that there was nothing restrictive about the women wearing head gear, and anyone that thought differently was a racist bigot. Oooh, look at these racist bigots.
