we really fucked up
someone fucked up big time
I think they're now desperately trying to wash their hands of it
we allowed this
2008 Financial crash was the key point for the UK
however, unpopularly, I'll state 2008 didn't cause it, 2008 just accelerated it
are you talking about UK, Germany or US
UK
im confuzzled
oh
we had a rather Marxist government, but understood the need for market support
you know the old saying "if you can, do; if you can't, teach"
however they were very creative with teh accounts
and if you can't teach, get into politics?
if you can't teach, burn the whole operation down
🇫🇷
We do know that in the 30s the Soviet was teaching american intellectuals at Moscow's university. There was also a large group of wealthy intellectual black Americans that went there for school in the 30s @MikeRox
Then they came back to teach
so the UK was spend spend spend, shiny new schools, shiny new hospitals, everyone happy with their wonderful new infrastructure. But spending way beyond means, and back loading the financial burden. Then 2008 happens, oh crud we need to bail out the banks, deficit spirals.
2010 Saint David of Cameron marches in on his bright white horse and his chief advisor Gideon Osbourne. Well the problems are we've been spending too much, and we need to spend less.
2018... "cuts" have gone on, and on, and still we spend more than we bring in via tax receipts. However after 8 years, and a noticeable impact on front line services, Saint Jezza Corbyn comes in promising free everything, because it's the elites that have stolen everything.
This is my warped simplistic view, but seems to make the most sense as to why we are so openly entertaining a return to socialism.
There was also a group of Marxists from Germany and France that came to US in the middle of 20th century 🤔
@Coochie coo terrifying really. Funny how it's always the middle classes that know what's best for the poor/working class.
Seems like it
Have you heard of the Fabian society?
ive heard bout it because Nehru was part of it
And the Frankfurt School?
India's first PM
yeah the Frankfurt School pretty much relocated to US didn't they
Have no clue
The two old logos of the fabian society are creepy, they've changed it sense lol
The first one was the tortoise, a slow and steady push for socialism, "When I strike I strike hard"
The the second was the wolf wearing a sheep, pretty sinister
lol the tortoise
i have a feeling this was in response to Don't Tread on Me
epic fail if there ever was one
I'm not sure, well its makes sense, the tortoise is slow, looks relatively harmless...
They live an incredibly long time, they're extremely patient...
A good animal for playing the long game... which socialists are very good at doing, "slow and steady wins the race"
Sorry, I can philosophize forever lol
oh my fucking god
