    The British people really would benefit from all collectively refusing to vote for their mainstream parties and instead voting for independent anarchist parties which try to get rid of as many laws and government institutions and also nationalize anything the people will be better served by, under collective ownership. All it really takes I think is to just talk to people. Tell them to stop voting for those parties and if they can’t resist then to stop watching the news media which fills their minds with anxiety.

        That’s not the right direction either. They are both bad, the corporations and the state. Only the people should have power and the people should vote in their own interests and they should not allow states or corporations to operate within their nation unless what they do is squarely in the interests of the people.

      While that specific scenario is unlikely, I do hope that Plaid Cymru and the Scottish National Party succeed in dissolving the UK

        Well hopefully they aren’t full of Nazis. Our revolutionary movement in America got hijacked by Trump and the fascists but people are waking up and realizing Trump is a scum bag. Killing innocent people is only one of his crimes.

      Once the laws are gone/things are deregulated, the corpos will likely take over. Nationalizing sounds good, but likely won’t end well without regulations, imo.

        Nationalism is anticorporate if you do it correctly. I am by no mean a fascist, (I’m trans) and I have moderate views on immigration. Also you can just ban the stock market and the collective ownership of companies and also limit their limited liability and go to a hard, Inflation proof currency to plug up the other holes. Corporations cannot compete with small businesses without lobbying for lower tax rates then the working class and relying on low interest loans to buy assets and brands which artificially boost their value in the speculator markets. What I’m asking for is a real free market, where corporations and the people pay the exact same tax rate, so it’s fair for everyone. This alone would bring in a good bit more revenue for the state and also simply taxes by getting rid of the micro taxation and property taxes on single property owners and stuff.

        Right now Blackstone is holding 60,000 properties in the U.S market, and somehow are paying little property tax on that while working class people who have seen their wages desitigrate over the past 20 years are paying 10s of thousands in property taxes in many cases.

        We have the power to nationalize things like the real estate market through wise tax policy, if we choose and this would actually take a ton of pressure off the working class. Just that alone could free up hundreds of dollars/pounds per month for many workers. It could get the average age of buying a first home back down below retirement ages.
