>While Michał Kalecki was generally enthusiastic about the Keynesian revolution, he predicted that it would not endure, in his article "Political Aspects of Full Employment". In the article Kalecki predicted that the full employment delivered by Keynesian policy would eventually lead to a more assertive working class and weakening of the social position of business leaders, causing the elite to use their political power to force the displacement of the Keynesian policy even though profits would be higher than under a laissez faire system: The erosion of social prestige and political power would be unacceptable to the elites despite higher profits Hmm...
I'm no Marxist, but one has to wonder if there may be some merit to this analysis. Perhaps, seeing the power of the unions in the 1970s in combination with stagflation (caused by oil shocks) the ruling classes saw their chance to bring the worker to heel and seized it.
Perhaps class is stronger than nationality. Perhaps seeing the choice between selling out nations to neoliberal globalism, or retaining a Keynesian system that would continue to embolden the middle and working classes, our social betters decided that nations really were an outdated concept and markets (including labour, naturally, except in the Cayman Islands.) really ought to be open between borders. Sure, you strange British culture - but America'd been doing that anyway. Much easier to just make the union man compete with the Chinaman.

I leave the country for 5 years, cast my vote to leave the EU, and you guys screw it all up while I'm gone.
So are people still pretending that Brexit wasn't a terrible decision?
Nolan Miller
GOOD MORNING
A few days ago I first said this
"Our soft-as-fuck Brexit will be labelled a "firm Brexit" or similar, and anyone in future who actually wants to leave the EU can be labelled an "extreme Eurosceptic" or a similar "He's nuts" term that implies we've already left the EU and that the issue is settled forever."
And today, we see this breaking news in The Times; thetimes.co.uk/edition/news/brexit-fades-from-hard-to-soft-to-grey-p3sttjkk6 >"Theresa May has given ministers the green light to draw up secret plans for a “grey Brexit” that will steer Britain away from the black-and-white demands of “leave” and “remain” hardliners.
>Senior Whitehall sources say David Davis, the Brexit secretary, and Philip Hammond, the chancellor, have formed a “small clique” with Downing Street to drive Britain away from a hard exit."
As much as I like Morality Man, he's too easy to give up. Settling for a Norway deal is pure cuckoldry.

Funny how all the threats against Farage, police do nothing.
Elijah Cook
>Perhaps class is stronger than nationality I don't think I made it clear that this was supposed to be a little joke. What I'm saying isn't "Ah, the British worker will get on finely with the Chinese worker, both are exploited" but a joke as to how the British and Chinese elites can have a laugh at how rich a deal to outsource the British worker's job to a slave in Guangzhou will make the pair of them. i.e. "Class trumps nationality so long as you're rich.", in the inversion of the marxist ideal of the workers of the world uniting.
Though in a daring synthesis of randian and marxist theory: Only the rich currency speculator TRULY works (that's why the invisible hand gives him all the money.) so really the workers of the world have united, everyone else is just a parasite who honestly deserves to drink leadwater and work 16 hours a day. Communism has been delivered. Rejoice!

Likelier that Brilloman wasn't an agent, I'd say. Farage is fine talking about his plane crash but he's very embarassed and hesitant about the car crash, saying he never should have gone to the police and so on

While I agree with this, there's a worrying undertone (and I suppose, a key social question) when it comes to personal information.

Brody Taylor
If the European swing to the right continues I suppose it's possible. After two Tory terms 2020 might turn into a change election regardless of how awful Corbyn is.
A half-BREXIT will alienate everyone who wants less immigration, though I suspect some sort of high cap, work permit or false "cut immigration to the tens of thousands" promise will simply fool people again.

Carson Cruz
Right doesn't mean fascist. There's a definite anti-immigration and anti-globalism wave rising, but on the whole people remain too reasonable about it if anything because they don't grasp how far things have gone. You could stop all immigration right now and we'd still become a minority group in 40 years. The only means of saving Europe are the ones even most right wing people won't take.
Nuttall is dancing around the fact that he's a social conservative and that Farage is a libertarian, this is a good thing

Honestly a large part of me would be amenable to a United Europe if it meant a counterweight of civilisation to US power. Ideally we would be outside of it, though naturally within it's pull. Alternatively, a Franco-British union for the same purposes may be an interesting idea. (After all, we created the mess.)
