Austerity must be stopped

[Stamen]

The ruling classes are merely using the financial situation as an excuse to clobber the middle and working classes with a big stick, to reassert their position. The cuts are not necessary but the tories enjoy bestowing misery on who they consider to be the common people.

They get off on it.

The rich made the problems...MAKE THEM PAY!

Absolutely right.

 

There is plenty of money availble, the problem is that it is all in the hands of the richest 20 per cent.

 

If you are middle class its tough luck. If you are working class living in a Northern city like Sheffield then you are in real trouble because Cameron and Osborne think that you are the scum of the earth.

I agree 150%, ditch the ConDems ASAP. Now please enlighten me as to who we put in their place, BNP, Monster Raving Lunatics, UKIP, Greens. Who else is there to vote for, certainly not the NEW LIEbour Totaly Discredited Party, who have brought us to our knees.

Well, I guess that reinforces another of the little snippets Churchill gave us:

 

"The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter. "

In your opinion which party is a socialist party?

In my opinion there are a number of socialist parties. I expect you're waiting for me to say Labour, so you can counter that they are far from it, lost their way, no longer support the working man etc etc.

 

But, look at what Labour did through its last period in government - the same as it's done each time it has been given power - overburden the middle income earners, over-reward the workshy, turn party politics into a class war where one doesn't exist (but it's voters are too dim to realise that), and good old tax & spend until the country is flat broke, leaving the Conservatives to fix the mess.

 

From their party manifesto and the background of many of the ex- and current Marxists among them, they're still socialist in my book - they just hide behind a thin veneer of 'New' Labour .

There are none so blind as they who stubbornly refuse to see. The last Labour administration were diabolical, I must agree. How else would the Cons have got in? But to truly believe that there is no class war is so naive that it is unbelievable.

The reason that Cameron will not make the bankers pay for what they have done is because he is their puppet on a string.

An interesting view, and ironic that you call others naive.

What is class war? Who is at war with whom, and for what reason?

 

Labour's very formation fed a 'them and us' mindset which has achieved little over the decades except to feed jealousy and resentment among life's under-achievers and to falsely teach them that they are entitled to rewards without effort. It's all a great shame. The reality is that men are not equal - some will do much with their lives, some will do little, but they should not expect equal reward for very unequal endeavours.

 

There are two people who like to believe there's a class war - those who are looking for an excuse to blame other people for their own lack of career or social achievement, and those who profit from that mindset by being part of the Labour machine that created it.
