Yep, you're right. Best to stick with old Etonians taking turns to lead our country, with oil barons, venture capitalists and billionaires dictating their actions. That's how our democracy has progressed. By us resigning ourselves to slavery and allowing the b******s of the world a free reign. Are you envious that you are a mere mortal like 99.9% of the world. Never mind keep doing the lottery and you might climb that ladder.

Been thinking about this a little more and reckon there could be a solution. It is clear that there is now a fundamental break down between those of on the Right and the Left. Zero middle ground. When we are having to cover up statues of Churchill because left-wingers want to pull it down, you know it is game over. So we should start pushing for more and more of these autonomous zones to be created for the Left, with local votes to determine how a specific area goes. I am sure that there would be plenty of scope for people to swap between the two so that the different areas. Then there would be no excuses. Nasty people like me would be able to live in the sort of Police state hell holes I crave and the more progressive types can live in their social paradises with no Police at all.

Sounds good but it will never work. After they trash their own area they will start to complain about yours having all the resources and being nice and demand access and compensation blah blah. The problem with Chaz is that whoever is in charge is unelected by the locals so any thug with a big mouth and a gun can rock up and claim leadership. I am not opposed to local accountability far from it but I can already see the issues in a microcosm where I live. We own our block of flats yet 1 individual thinks his vote carries more weight than the rest of us. In a district you are bound to get a lot more of these types which is why we have elected officlas. Rather than setting up armed roadblocks they would have done better to reject the mainstream candidates and put up their own local ones. This has happened in Froome in Somerset. The local council consists of all local independent people and has done for at least 5 years and is very popular. One of my friends sits on the council very level headed and not interested in party politics but local issues.

And here we have it... Rather admire the honesty. No nuance, nothing left to be misjudged, an absolute straight forward condition of what the future holds for us if they get their way. Edited by Matov (13 Jun 2020 9.47pm) Edited by Matov (13 Jun 2020 9.49pm)

You understood the bit where he says ‘... if you can’t share ten dollars now how are you going to share power and wealth in future?’ It’s about confronting your own fear.
