No surprises from Labour

 

Many Labour Party supporters are disappointed and dispirited at the way its government is managing the system. They didn’t expect benefit cuts, ramped up anti-migrant measures and promises of no tax increases for the wealthy. As usual, any principles Labour professes when out of office go out the window once they win power and are faced with the need to keep the anarchic system of capitalism afloat.

We shouldn’t be surprised. Trying to run a system based on trade, wages, profit, and the unpredictable market is bound to leave you flailing. It needs to be replaced by a moneyless, frontierless society of free access – socialism. But the Labour Party never has been and never can be an instrument for that.
