Anti-Capitalist Sentiment (with some morality)

[OngBonga]

I'm sorry wuf I'm pretty much exhausted with this for the time being.

I'll say this though. British politics has got really lively this last month. I dunno how much coverage it's getting beyond our shores, but Labour have just appointed a hard left guy as their leader. It's really sparked debate here about left wing politics. Most of it is not complimentary.

I think socilaism will be getting a lot more analysis here over the coming years, which is a good thing, because left leaning people like myself will begin to get a better understanding of the consequences of such an economic idealogy.

For now I stand behind my principles. I'm not that stubborn that I can't accept when I'm wrong. But what Corbyn says really resonates with me. He talks about renationalisation of the railways, part nationalisation of energy companies, reintrodcution of grants instead of tuition fees, greater welfare, and, crucially, a much restrained defence policy, including getting rid of nukes and a significant reduction of British involvement in foreign wars. If he can convince me he can pay for the welfare and education without crashing the economy, then he'll get my vote. He's got four and a half years to convince me.

First of all, we've got an EU referendum. I've already decided how I'm voting there.

I trust the Brits can do the right thing.

Do you think monopolies are good?
