apparently 1% of the world's population own more than the remaining 99%. (and have £21 trillion avoiding tax in off shore accounts)some authoritarian world leaders are wanting even more while stirring conflict and division and threatening democratic systems. surely anyone who is sane or not a billionaire would like to see this improved? who could reasonably be happy with this state of affairs? millions are hungry or homeless (and many in the 6th richest country in the world) yet to challenge it in anyway is to be labelled 'far left' , 'marxist' or whatever. really? for the record i can't be arsed to read much marx but the basic premise of marxism is undeniable. in comparison with the current state of play i probably would be regarded as far left by the supporters of the current system. but i'm sure that any other response is brain and empathy dead, totally lacking in compassion - and pitiful.
