When has any global standard ever been elected. What process even exists to do so.

The whole idea that some other nation gaining power post ww2 being more democratic is just crap

The pre WW2 world was far from some democratic ideal. The US just took over from Europe’s fiscal control using exactly the same techniques. Just as the UK took over from Spain etc.

Is it shitty yes. But the idea that if any of these nations sat back. Some peaceful agreement between waring nations would have evolved. Is just fantasy. It is looking back with a modern mindset that simply did not exist in any power regime at the time.

I’d be very surprised if Corbyn leads this new party.

Well yes. That is why it was respected. America used it’s delayed entry to build it’s reduction capability. Used that to help win. Then not having exhausted it took advantage.

But while correct. It’s a more accurate way of saying the doller was respected. As a strong trade currency other nations could use.

Not to mention. Almost impossible, means possible.

As that is very clearly happening. And has been since the 90s

Doing as UKip and now reform are doing. Is really the only way to slow it down.

Edit: I’ll add. The UK has a history of replacing a big party under FPTP.

Post WW2 the labour party did it to the Liberal party. Politics was divided very like now. At the time the UK overton window had never really considered socialism.

The 2 main parties are moving the same way. With reform pulling the Tories to the extreme right. Nothing pulling labour away.

If the left can actually come together to support a single left of centre party. It can either pull labour left. Or replace them. Just as reform is threatening to do with the Tories.

Countries that value financial sovereignty.

Keep it by storing a tradeable reserve in other currencies. And or gold and silver but that has become less common.

The doller has won purely because it is respected around the world. Because most nations have some desire to trade with the US.

As that desire weakens sovereignty or your own currency is less strong if you are holding less stable currencies. And the doller is looking less and less stable every time trump talks.

BRICC current dedollerization has more to do with his tarrifs attacks harm to international trade then then anything else. Making trade with your nation less profitable. Is a rather stupid move if you want the world to use your currency to trade amounts each other.

When the global currency is run by a petty man child. It is the nations not making an effort to move away from it that are more worrying.

Can we crowd fund a well known artist. To paint a picture of Reeves happily recieving this golden trickle from some city business owners.

A banksy in her constituency would be fantastic.

Heck maybe we can create some stencils and paint them all over London…

If we pair them with cartoons of happy commoners balanced on the fire hose of tax dollars spent on services and inferstructure. While they spend on essentials. We may be able to beat the message into voters minds.

If we really want to labour the point. Fire hose can be connected to a gov milking machine connected to the cocks of Bezos and Musk etc.

Given a sycamore can like for 500 years although 300 is more common.

If that the maths we follow. Potential life lost to the tree of 350 years is more reasonable.

They say it. Because they have never run a business. Honestly most have no reason to understand how banks charge for cash payments.

For small businesses they also assume the business dose not pay cash into the bank. Also the fact many small store historically charged users for small card transactions. Gives many 40s plus customers a out dated view of how the banks charge. The cash in cash out cash and carry retail business no longer exists. But the fact that many local store used to work that way to reduce costs still effects many customers opinions.

As for lack of data. They say that because it’s basically true. All card transactions do store data.

Pretty sure that means, trump would have his dick blown off.

We already tax profits.

So this is just a “don’t tax our wealth” cry.

As someone disabled who cannot drive.

Both options are required. Getting around rural areas is absolute hell ATM.

Every ml of water everyone in the world drinks. Has been through human waste millions of times.

You are failing to understand my point.

I don’t disagree with the birth of capitalism. Although it is basically a new name for imperialism. It is the obvious effect of the post fudal middle class becoming the leadership post aristocratic rule. But it can also be an idea independent of its birth and leadership.

Where I disagree that anything currently existing can push those processes towards socialism. BRICC members are far from a socialist majority. Most nations in BRICC are equally supporting of the ideas of Capitalism. At least the ideas sold by those that use it for imperialism.

It is entirely possible. (Although far from probable) That BRICCs or a descendent from it. Will lead to the global south rising to take over from the current western default rule.

But for that future to be socialist it will need the leadership of those nations to think on socialist ways. And most simply do not do so ATM. Nor dose any probable event indicate a change in how these nations would run the world economy.

Unfortunately for Socialism to thrive. Yes you need opinions to have a major effect on world politics. Without it socialism as an ideal is impossible.

In theory. And if you look at post war UK. It Def lead to a greater support for socialism, the forming of new party etc. removing our past 2 party system with a different one. The very one that no longer supports socialism.

But socialism cannot and will not grow it of nowhere. The US has never had a large support for it. The UK and much of Europe had people with respect pushing socialism in the 50 to 60. Ex soldiers seeing a whole new way of doing things built the very socialism we understand now.

The US just dose not have anyone effectively making arguments for this. Without such leaders. And honestly we also have non effective left in Europe anymore either.

Add to that. Their is absolutely no evidence of capitalism losing control. It is actually doing very well by it’s own standards. As instead ideas like socialism are losing power while capitalism is effectively moving wealth into the hands of the few and most powerful.

It is only failing by the opinion of those of us that disagree with it… and expecting that to start socialism without some major change. Is just wishful thinking.

You can only really apply it the other way around.

If you totally ignore 15 years of austerity politics. Plus huge cost of living rises.

Unfortunately that shit did happen. As such all council paid utility workers have are seriously under paid and over worked.

So no in no way shape or form is she correct to blame the workers. As this is clearly what she is doing. As such yes the Union is entirely correct to indicate her membership is unwelcome.

The shit in Birmingham is the direct result of 15 year of governments refusing to fund the cost of maintaining our infestucture/staffing. And the fact Birmingham is our so called second city. With the 2nd greatest costs of all staffing and inferstructure. But without the funding protection London gains. Is why the funding has hit that location first. Other cities will follow if this shitty attitude to service funding continues.

I assume it depends on the school.

In the past many were church of England run. They still exist but not as prolific as in the past.

I assume and hope. Many non CE schools try to keep assembly non denominational or even secular now.

But I’m old so don’t spend time listening to schools.

Important reminder.

Since water was privatised under thatcher. The companies have sold off 30 reservoirs. Filling them for development etc.

Remember this fact every time they seek help.

Technically. And honestly in this mess that is all we can use.

It would only be considered a crime after it happened. If blairs organisation helped in the implementation.

Planning is basically writing a well researched book. Of course that is a stretched comparison. But accurate as for as equivalents is concerned. Only real difference is the book would be public. Planning is kept top secret. But that in no way makes writing it a crime alone.

If you wrote a story based on some meglamainiac American president committing actions seen as war crimes. No matter how accurate the set up or understanding of military preparedness in the real world. Or how involved in talking to that president or staff.

If that meglmaiiac copied your book. You would only be seen as a criminal if you aided in the implementation of your books plot.

Of course your arsehole status is not a legal matter in this case. Or for any politician. Where I assume it’s assumed?

Currently the plannings plot has not happened (yet). And we have no idea how involved in implementation blairs group would be. But forming the plan is not a crime in itself.

Or at least not a war crime. In some selected cases. Such a book could be seen as inciting violence. But the lack of publicity would make a plan hard to argue that.
