Nationalisation isn’t a bad idea per se. It just isn’t the universal perfect answer to everything that the Trots think it is.

I suspect it’s in part a mindset based in it being a start to something bigger. To hideously misquote Yoda, “Nationalisation leads to unions. Unions leads to strikes. Strikes lead to revolution”

“Nationalisation leads to unions. Unions leads to strikes. Strikes lead to the dead going unburied”

FTFY.

Dreams vs reality

Thankfully a few of these aren’t Labour MPs anymore.

Weirdly at the exact point Starmer was dismissing a revolution, I was reading about the Russian one.

There was criticism of the Tory energy plan for being a bit of a slow burner on energy costs. So is nationalisation, if it works at all. Railtrack was a bad idea, and rightly renationalised by Blair, but I think costs rose initially. Where's Jez going to get cheaper oil and gas from too? And do you even need to nationalise the whole shooting match to do the other things he wants?

FTFY.

As do poorly handled pandemics.

Jesus, Clive. You think this is like... what? Orban? Trump?

Ukraine besieging its own city as a false flag?

I've not read or listened to Scott Ritter, but I saw some other useful idiot quoting him, some classic YouTuber contrarian who clearly thought everyone else was a total idiot before giving a badly thought out argument for why Russia is amazing in this war, thereby proving conclusively he was the idiot all along.

Seeing I put Chris WIlliamson on here, I might as well put Hoey as well.
