We need some yobs on jet skis (well ,all jet skiers tend to be that) to patrol the English Channel and disrupt things for the dinghies.

I think you fail to understand the difference between liberal and libertarian, they are very different creatures. Many of those who get branded as left wing these days are what a true socialist would call privileged liberals who only really care about themselves. These are the ones whose parents would have always voted conservative but now feel so entitled due to their comfortable upbringing.

@thistimeimhere What gets me is the guys who slag off some for being left yet go on about the wealthy elite and are anti the establishment, both of which are what would traditionally mark you down as a commie.

@thistimeimhere You are totally correct there. The problem with all "isms" whether political or religious is people and their greed. About the only cure, or rather limiting action is a regular change of regime, but even that has issues in a conventional democracy because all (generally both) main parties try to buy votes from just enough people (typically about 1/3 of the voters) to get into power. They don't even have to keep their promises when elected.

@si_w8201 The problem is that many branded as left are far from that, being privileged liberals who have no thoughts for anyone but themselves and their virtue signalling.

@throughhumaneyes7648 Globalisation will ultimately end up with just one or two people owning and controlling everything. This seems more like the ultimate aim of capitalism?

@si_w8201 Anarchy?

@Sentinel82 But do they really, or is that just your view? You are however correct that money can be used for good or bad, however by not using it for good or at least in a responsible manner you are automatically using it for bad. Worse still are those who just hoard it.

@chadsexington-wl7ox Everyone working? - That almost sounds like socialist job creation.

@Synergy7Studios True libertarianism is actually a pretty extreme system, the theory being basically you do not need rules because is someone does something wrong by moral standards they can end up getting killed or at least by the victim.

@jimbothegymbro7086 Only the Aboriginal people of Australia are true natives. All the rest are descended from criminals and economic migrants.

@jimbothegymbro7086 Using that argument, think about all the colonial troops who fought for the British empire?

@davidhedgecock5857 I know many women who voted for Brexit/ the conservatives so I am not sure your statement holds water.

@davidhedgecock5857 So in truth much the same number and reflecting the population as a whole. Everyone knows both sides told big lies during the campaign, some of us weighed up the bigger picture regardless of what we were told and some were less able to dig deeper as they had never had to before.
