Will the United Kingdom ever have a people led social revolution as it heads back into the dark ages?
Wow , just wow !
Britain is about to enter a sustained period of recession to include black outs and energy rationing.
This is not Lebanon under attack from an American inspired devaluation of their currency as leverage for undermining the democratically elected government of the country, to include Hezbollah.
This is not Gaza, bombed back into the stone age by the most powerful military machine in the middle east , the Israeli apartheid regime , which illegally occupies and sanctions Gaza in contravention of international law.
This is not Libya destroyed by Britain and NATO, turning one of Africa’s most equitable and stable societies into a modern day hell on earth.
This is not Mali still being occupied by French forces against the express wishes of the people’s government.
This is Britain, the United Kingdom
The mother of all Parliaments.
A bastion of democracy?
A former empire that enslaved millions colonised and controlled hundreds of millions and stole tea from China, diamonds from South Africa , cotton from America and all the valuable natural resources of every country it enslaved.
The Empire that gave genocide a modern face.
Four million perished needlessly in the Bengal famine , more than one million in the Irish famine , and Britain murdered tens of millions in Africa, Australia, America and Canada.
They told us In 2008 the banks were too big to fail
No one told us Britain in 2022 would fail
Can you believe it? Britain, is a failed state. One of the G7 countries with the fifth largest economy in the world.
With billionaires and tax dodgers a plenty.
Yet Britain has inflation projected to reach 22%.
Interest rates are rising.
A compliant workforce has seen wages stagnate for over a decade, but workers are now becoming restless and demanding pay rises to meet their ever increasing household bills with strikes now taking place and many more planned
The gap between wages and productivity is where profit is made
When production rises and wages remain dormant, profits increase.
For a decade businesses have accrued wealth while the workers scrimp and save.
Inflation in Britain will devastate peoples disposable income.
Huge hikes in energy costs will decimate their savings
Ordinary working men and women will become even more indebted to the banks and the scurrilous money lenders who feed of those in desperate need.
With a crisis in employment to follow a deep recession, as inflation, interest rate hikes and energy costs destroy the economy, peoples livelihoods, families and communities, Britain like most of Europe should now be ripe for a social revolution.
Yet unlike Latin America and the Carribean which has a real left, right political dichotomy, Britain has a false left right political facade just like North America, and most of western Europe, Canada and Australia
We have ‘no party of the people’
No representative of the working class and the underprivileged.
No voice for the voiceless, no leader of the poor.
We have micro managed, career politicians operating a duopoly of centrist and neo Liberal reform which Is replicated all over Europe and the White Anglo-Saxon countries of Britain’s former commonwealth.
Who ironically do not share the ‘commonwealth’
We have corporate funded and financed lobbyists of vested interest groups, controlling the political narrative.
Those in power are not held to account by those in opposition
When one party fills it boots, pockets and bank balances at the public’s expense ,people revile their corruption and elect the opposition at the next election, who then go on to do exactly the same thing.
Remember it was New Labour and Tony Blair who brought us war in Afghanistan and Iraq.
In Britain as the lights go out this winter and the houses grow cold as we re enter the dark ages, we should remember that serfdom and feudalism has never left the United Kingdom. It’s name has changed but the practices are the same.
We are now enslaved to the banks, the bosses and the bipartisan political duopoly that exists to continue the wealth transference from the poorest in society to the richest in society.
Do people really think by changing the party in power they are affecting real change?
Think again
There is no third way
There are only the political prophets and opportunists who claim they will reform the system if elected, ultimately they become part of the system, they then defend that system and become the very thing they claim they entered politics to change
Will we go meekly into that dreaded night?
Look at Jeremy Corbyn arguably the best prime minister Britain never had
He’s finished and appears quite happy to go meekly in to that dreaded dark place of anonymity
Destroyed by the zionist lobby and his own party because of his support for Palestine and socialist vision
A French parliamentarian Pierre-Joseph Proudhon ,shortly after the French revolution said ‘The Great only appear great because we are on our knees, so let us rise’
If only Britain, If only!
We have a very small neo Liberal spectrum through which British parties and policiticians are allowed to navigate.
There is a very quintessential patriotic British song ‘Rule Britannia’ , celebrating Britains imperial past
These lyrics are included in the song
‘Britannia rules the waves. Britons never never never shall be slaves.
Shackled by neo liberalism, indebted to the banks, hand cuffed by the political elite, Britons are indeed slaves.
If only they could see and demand more.
James Connolly leader of the Irish Citizens Army that led the fight for Irish Freedom in Dubin in 1916 against Britain’s Imperialist forces in Ireland a socialist revolutionary once said ‘ Our demands most modest are, we only want the earth’
We need revolutionary change to bring about a more equitable multipolar world.
That begins with the defeat of the present failed mismanagement of government that places profit before people.
We need a people first political system that ends free market capitalism, graft and corruption.
We won’t get that through voting for the present duopoly of two corporate political parties so perhaps we must find another way
Will Britain lead the way?
Unfortunately I don’t believe they will.
Will the last person leaving Britain please turn the lights off.
That’s of course if they are not already in a black out.
Oh how the mighty have fallen.
