Thread Name: Brexit #2
Subject: RE: Brexit #2
I think it worth reiterating that Europe is a collection of capitalist states working together to benefit their system - not to change it into something else
It is knee-jerk crassness to bring "communism" into the equation
Any "communist" worth his/her salt wouldn't be working for their ideals by supporting Europe
As far as I am concerned, Europe serves the people of the countries involved as well as any capitalist state will in the present situation
It is significant that those who dragged Britain into Brexit were Ultra rights like Farage, using ultra right arguments - "it's all the fault of those foreigners" -
The ultra-right have prospered by the populaism used to get Britain out, with the inevitable result; a rise in racism and the the re-emergence of long-dead policies and parties
