I'm still trekking up to that higher point--a good indictment of my averageness. Hearing Winnie point the guns squarely at neoliberalism I felt relieved, refreshed. A lifting of the oppression of the rule of the rich ('for the rich...'). Just as I remember the exhilaration after the 93 'Bugger the Pollsters' election. <br /><br />My thought when I heard him say capitalism was viewed as the foe for most was I never wanted to hear the '84 elite (i.e. the elite) ever again. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />sumsuchnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3753486518085091399.post-83178721976458861162017-10-19T14:05:13.897+13:002017-10-19T14:05:13.897+13:00Neither Britain or USA have been able to go into t...Neither Britain or USA have been able to go into the 21st century with policies intact that seek to encourage but tame the working class and ensure a place for all. What steps and practical future-facing plans to reduce population so as to balance population and employment? Instead the desire seems to have been, now being in charge of the world and it is capitalist, to ignore rather than recognise the responsibility arising from dismissing the people's lobby to share in the money and exert some autonomy.<br /><br />We have lost so much of our hard-won social policies and had the facade of a caring, collaborative nation stripped away. So why not Chinese? They have so much to be proud of, and we are being spied upon by our own country on behalf of the USA. Yet is there still a semblance of opportunity for self-realisation under USA hegemony? Is there room to develop or are they going to do a colonial Britain on us and just use us for raw materials while we must buy the finished goods overseas. <br /><br />Should we allow Chinese dominance now. They seem to be into mind-bending and talking about human genetic interference, and which country will manipulate the most using IT and robots systems? It is likely that Australia would retaliate as fully USA oriented! The later we commit to China might mean them doing a Chile on us. That was horrible, but Australia is so careless in treating us that it is obvious that they don't think of us with esteem, and are writing us off their personal Christmas card lists as a country. <br /><br />The kookaburra calls to establish the bounds of his territory. It is a wonder we can't hear this across the ditch at dawn and dusk. It suits the Aussie style I think.
