Subject: RE: The Weekly Walkabout (part 2.)
I thought that's one of the things we do agree on, IB - a dislike of free-market capitalism? And, if so, why support future economic/capitalist immigration/emigration. This is where the likes of the Socialist Workers Party get confused - they, too, are against capitalism but they end up supporting those who emigrate to get rich...

"Within the broader music industry, and beyond, what some get for their hour's work, compared with others, is ridiculous and inhumane; hence, many relatively competent musicians within the folk-scene are really struggling to make ends meet; so, if we like fair competition, we don't like capitalism. A better way, as I've suggested in verse, is to accept that humans are competitive, and have strong regulations (partly via nationalisation) to make that competition as fair as possible – whilst also providing "safety-net" support."(from here)...
And accepting eco-travl and fair-trade between nations, via the UN - rather than yet more conquest and capitalist immigration/emigration.
