People have this idea that, because private companies are run for a profit, there will be better value for money if something is publicly owned. The problem is that the desire for profit is the thing that drives innovation. The civil service, by contrast, is innovation free. They do the same things they've always done, because they've always done it that way, rather than because it's the best way. Every single one I've ever met (and I've worked with many) has the biggest "it'll do" mentality I've ever come across, mostly because they have no desire to make the MP who runs the department look good.
You highlight the dychotomy between traditional Marxist and Capitalist theory.
Marxism the 2 class dychotomy. The producers and owners of the means of production.
Capitalism, anything from Max Weber, class, status and party, Dahrendorf, the end of ideology and Adam Smith.
my point is not only has the world changed physically but hugely politically and we are able to act and respond instantaniously to micro changes.
All I'm saying is we all know.( those with a brain not addled by bollox indoctrination) that things can easily be changed economically, politically and culturally for the benefit of the majority.
I'm not talking about ending world poverty or stopping little Ahmed walking 20 fucking miles a day for polluted water or shit like that.
But we could easily uplift in no time.
We won't.
I said 2 years ago Covid was the perfect opportunity for the world to unite to defeat a common enemy.
It did fuck all but put me first.
By the by when is China getting the bill for the rest of us putting our lives on hold for 2 years and burying millions?
Blame- Claim- Fact. Dirty bastards!
