Are we reverting to Socialism again?

[Herodotus]

The title of the article says "you have been warned, the future is socialism"

Why the fuck do we have to be warned. Socialism is a good thing, putting the betterment of society before profit margins. If the future is socialism, bloody fantastic.

I suppose it is the Indo, the lexicon of the far right neo-fascists.

Yes. The idea that someone on the right would only become involved in politics to further their own personal agenda while someone on the left is doing it for the good of others shows just how some members of the left consist of the "holier then thou" brigade. That they're right and I'm wrong because I believe in small government and fiscal responsibility.





Says the PD...

At least I had the good sense to dump neoliberalism, and long before it was popular to do so I might add!
Oh thats right! CHECK..MATE!

Oh yeah? If I'm a neo liberal, what does that make you? Retro-Social?

Your last sentence is revealing, probably unintentionally so.

Essentially you are saying that anyone who disagree with your socialist analysis must, automatically, be a far right neo-fascist. Now, I'll grant you the Sindo is a nonsensical newspaper, but I doubt if any of their staff, journalists, or even owners are actual far right neo-fascists, or anything close.

It's not hard to see that, in spite of their protests otherwise, socialist philosophy in its extreme variants leads ultimately to the gulag.

I always had the interests of the many at heart, it's just that back then I thought those interests would trickle down to the council estates from atop the mount merrion hill.

We have never had real capitalism in this country.We have the government regulating and taxing left ,right and center.It was the failure of the ECB and Government regulation that got us into this mess.

Great post
