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.
Right or wrong.
The Union is required to support the needs of the workers. That is why they exist and why said workers fund them.
So the Union is right to remove her membership when she openly argues against the needs of the workers.
You also need to consider what is actually happening when working class people strike against a government.
You have 2 sides. The workers are giving up their very ability to live and support their families. To fight for a cause. While they have 0 other way to fight the local government.
So it has always been common when such fights effect voters. For the government to use public inconvenience or "disgust". To weaken support for the workers.
Opinion only. But my guess is individualism grew from a increase in cut throat people.
Capitalist billionaires gaining control of world governments. Then using it to move the world to a modern reinteretation of feudalism. Is IMHO the actual cause of the increase.
Are you suggesting it is the striking workers to blame. Rather then the council refusing to meet Thier requirements?
Because that is why she is suspended. Buy a union who exists purely to stand up for the workers.
trading a percent or so of total land area to ensure people have homes
Ignoring the huge amount of brownfield area we have from closed factories etc.
Honestly if it was truly about a shortage of land. I'd be all for it. But it is not. It is about refusing to clean up and build on already developed land. In an attempt to increase profits.
