"Jim, you should know that three quarters of our population do not understand or want socialism."
My point exactly - they will react to the conditions they are forced to endure, just as the Russian soldiers in WW! did, or the Chinese peasants, or the Cubans who were forced to watch while their daughters were forced to 'entertain' the Yankee tourists....
People do not act on ideology - they do so to feed their families, or to stay alive.
Which is why your talk of "education" is nonsense.
Of course the working class would not be worse off under socialism - some people would benefit if things stayed as they were, but more people would lose their jobs and homes, or suffer from the terminally ill health service.....
The bottom rung of your "ladder" has long been out of reach of most people in Britain.
We have not long had a recession, brought on by the greed of the banks; before that it was the U.S. financial market crash - another is predicted shortly.
Britain no longer has a manufacturing industry and even the Tory pundits have said it is beyond the point of salvage.
What on earth is your point - that we place our opes in Donald Trump, Boris Boris Johnson and Ukip maybe!!!
