Hey kiddos – my predictions about the toryscum shafting people and planet for the sake of corporate profits have come true –
Check out this item in which George Monbiot outlines how Giddeon’s cuts benefit his corporate chums.
A brief extract – ‘Public bodies whose purpose is to hold corporations to account are being swept away. Public bodies whose purpose is to help boost corporate profits, regardless of the consequences for people and the environment, have sailed through unharmed. The government’s programme of cuts looks like a classic example of disaster capitalism: using a crisis to re-shape the economy in the interests of business.’
Interestingly Monbit draws on Naomic Klein’s shock doctrine – one of the most important leftist books of this century – read it!
So if you think Marxism (well OK left-libertarianism) isn’t relevant – think again!
