There, in all its naked glory, are the excuses of the right whenever faced with uncomfortable facts. See anyone who disagrees with them as a "leftist" and blame everything on a mythical" group of them conspiring together to deny the working class their rights.

Then in an inversion of logic capitalism is the tool they use to achieve this, when I always believed any true "leftist" rejected capitalism in favour of collectivism.

That Globalism demands a new way to monitor, administer and regulate trade to ensure it benefits everyone is undoubtedly true. What isn't is that isn't achievable. We, the people, have that power. We just need to use it. No-one dominates us. We are the dominant force. We need to learn how to enforce it.

Coming out of the EU was a bad move in that respect. We need to be at the table.

Norway, Switzerland, Iceland, The Balkans ....all doing fine outside the EU.

Ireland, Sweden, Netherlands, France, Greece .....all a big mess. Cultural dilution, Bankrupt, enforced unpopular multiculturalism.

'need to be at the table' ? yeah right.

Naive.

The majority of the population will never be anything other than sheep. The elites have realized that using Leftist ideals is a great way to influence the youth, AKA the consumer. The useful idiots don't know they are being played by people who promote one thing and do the opposite.
Capitalism does serve us all, but not equally. Those at the top of the food chain are happy to destroy everything for profit and then claim to be our saviours.
The world will soon be in turmoil because of that kind of person.

Globalism is stripping away everything that we hold dear and replacing it with homogenous misery for all but a tiny percentage.

I have no idea who you are referring to. The major players behind the EEC, to my mind, were Monnet and Adenauer, neither of whom were ever Nazis. Monnet was French, and resisted the Germans. Adenauer was removed as mayor of Cologne by the Nazis, frozen out by them and even briefly imprisoned by them.

As I am not talking about the table which determines internal EU regulations but the big table which has to be constructed to determine how we move forward on regulating global trade in the future, this misses the point.

The EU will have more clout at that table than we will, as little UK. This is something I expect the UN to sponsor and co-ordinate. When is unknown, but the need to do so looks obvious to me.

It's actually a form of neo-imperialism. Rather than Christian Missionaries seeking to civilise the barbaric natives, it's now Soc.Libs teaching Gender Studies in countries that have zero interest in learning them. Rather than offering to build a well in exchange for allowing a Church to be built, it's foreign aid linked to forcing notions such as 'Gay Marriage' on a populace that has zero desire to see such degeneracy in its midst.

That finger waving, 'we know what's best for you' instinct that drove so much of Imperialist ambitions now replaced by middle class wealthy white progressives thinking they can 'educate' the world.
