Socialism is rising because our money is dying

Hard to look at China and say they aren't outperforming pure corporate capitalism. We turned capitalism into greed and cronyism.

Hey Peter, I wonder if you'd be interested in my experience starting a new busines in the UK in 2025. Its fucking hard. But I'm fighting as best I can. I started with nothing, and all I have left is Bitcoin. Its helped me through the rockiest of times and gives me hope for the future. I'd be particularly interested in your viewpoint on voters in Scotland. Right now a dismal minority of Green supporters have enormous sway on the Scottish Government due to our voting system. It seems to me a small representation could hold enormous sway on our energy policy. Sensible energy policy. Instead of switching off green hydro and wind generation, and paying for the privilege, we could generate a return and supply high demand electricity to the grid. Talking ro the Scottish government is FUBAR. Too much entrenched ideas and policies. Anyways, if you fancy vetting me for a chat, please get in contact. Thanks, Optomtom

What I question, specific to the UK, if you look at state vs. Private ownership, we’ve also been moving in the opposite direction. Most utilities, rail, water, gas, steel etc. were state owned, the state sold them off from the 1980s onward. In most places there’s a weird hybrid where the state pays private contractors for services that were previously ‘in house’. The result is a lot of scamming and corruption and a lot of private profit taken from what’s still seen as public services. For the record, I think this system clearly sucks but your article doesn’t appear to recognise this relationship. Blair = Thatcher
