  1. The upper class are very greedy. Not only they have taken all the benefits of economic growth, they have also reduced the real wages of the working class.

  2. I would fire the whole lot of them. Solidarity is a joke. No union is going to keep me from making my paycheck. My family means more than their BS solidarity

  3. Its really simple, the people who Actually give a shit is the mojority, the problem is that there is a underlying Stink that comes from big business, mainly EU's and chinas, copy paste system… it stinks and so only leave people shouting agueing over scraps whens when there is so much money out there if used well thhere wouldnt be any of these problems

  4. Obviously, the State in the UK DOES NOT WANT or it cannot emancipate people from the horrors of the workplace and privatization. This is why every emancipation is a self-emancipation. The workers afflicted by the conditions are the only ones who can change their conditions. The State is not going to change them for you. The Church wont change them for you. Nobody but you as a working class individual can change circumstances that benefit other social institutions. State, Church, Capital, have no interest changing conditions suitable for them for their to be a unanimous Will among them to make changes through government; its really war without a verbal declaration of war the Left better take seriously.

  5. So, you left Brexit claiming you wanted to spend the money on your own country, yet you won't pay teachers enough to even keep up with inflaction and you want to cut National Health. Typical conservatives, cut taxes or fail to put a small increase on the taxes of the rich and claim that they have to make cuts to government spending. You really want to be like the US?!
    All of that after having an insane PM who threw the UK economy in the trash bin!.

  6. ❣️🙏👄🗡️🌈🐠⚡👑🐦🍃🍃🍃🍃

  7. One of the main reasons for all of this is because of the aliens that are in the system. When these aliens from India, Africa, and so forth enter a white country they change that country to their own country. The reason they leave their country and to go a white country is because in their own country they are treated horribly and cannot survive. Because of this they go to a white civilization country in order to have better opportunities. However, they bring the culture of their own country to the white country and destroy the white country. Eventually what these aliens are going to do is to leave the white country. These aliens caused the inflation and the destruction because they refuse to abide by the rules, laws, and regulations of that white country. Either they leave or they will be slaughtered.

  8. ✊🏼 NAILED IT!
    I would love Max to interview Ben Norton regarding the Peru 🇵🇪 struggle 🤩

  9. It's a bit ironic to hear staff at the LSE, a major bastion of Capitalist economics, criticizing what amounts to the past 40-year corporatization of universities in the interests of profiting their endowments by cutting labor costs, a central strategy of corporate Capitalism. Perhaps they need to conduct a more thorough self-examination of exactly what it is that they espouse.

  10. Learn about the #MMT union strikers and increase your chances of getting your demands fulfilled. Standing in solidarity with all the striking workers.Say NO to privatization, say NO to murderous (and unnecessary) austerity policies! Sovereign currency issuer, and UK is the one, can never go bankrupt and it does NOT have to borrow. #LearnMMT ✊

  11. You have interred with my uni education every year bar one. I’m sick of you striking and ruining my education and my friend is too.

  12. THESE COUNTRIES AROUND THE WORLD NEVER HAVE MONEY FOR ANYTHING GOOD
    THE SAYING USED TO BE THAT THE CHILDREN ARE THE FUTURE BUT THAT IS NOT SO ANYMORE
    WAR IS THE FUTURE
    THESE LEADERS ARE BEHAVING AS IF THEY WERE ELECTED BY THEMSELVES SO THEY DON'T CARE A DAM ABOUT THE CITIZENS

  13. Sociaty today don't need Higher education . Maybe doctors , engineersor some research guys to do vaccines. Sociaty is focus in Show ( football/ soccer/ musician/ actors. Etc) End of Literature.

  14. That is the consequence of Capitalism. Meaning high efficiency and market doesn't need more that People. ( google / apple / Amazon) got own training and doesn't need collage edication. AI is taking over almost anything. Except maybe manual hard Labor !

  15. The western countries is just seeing the beginning of the beginning of societal decay. That has been predicted more than 2 decades ago.
