As a rule, every time a politician
opens their mouth there is a mixture of bullshit, arrogance and
ignorance. The flag carrier for a “compassionate capitalism” the
Labour Party leader, Ed Miliband, is no exception. In an interview
with The Daily Telegraph he said he had nothing against the rich, as
long as they made their money, “the hard way”. This of course
perpetuates the myth that in this society all you have to do to get
rich is work hard. Well Ed, my father was a miner all his life and
worked extremely hard. He never took a holiday, in those days the
mines closed for the “Fair Holidays” but they always needed a
crew to go down the mine on a daily basis during the holidays to
check on gas, flooding and roof collapses. My dad took that job year
after year. I don't know of anybody who worked harder, he didn't
drink nor gamble, but we were poor, we never got rich. Get wise Ed, to get rich in this
type of society you have to exploit people somewhere along the line,
hard work doesn't get you rich. Another bullshit outpouring from Ed,
during his interview was, "My dad was sceptical of all the
Thatcher aspirational stuff, but I felt you sort of had to recognise
that what she was talking about struck a chord. I want to save
capitalism from itself," so Ed is one of those, “there is no
such thing as society, only individuals” What he and Thatcher
considers “aspirational stuff” is just an unleashing of personal
greed and to hell with the community. A society of “me” “I”
and “what can I screw from this deal”. Ed also wants to “save
capitalism from itself”, well, please Ed don't bother wasting your
time, it can't be turned into a nice compassionate system where we
are all rewarded for our efforts. Don't bother trying to save
capitalism from it self, it is a lost cause, capitalism is
exploitation, capitalism is corruption, capitalism is injustice. You
and your “fairer capitalism” bunch are perpetuating a system the
breeds deprivation, corruption and greed, there is no way you can
build a fair society on those foundations. Ed you and your
bullshitting mob are the problem, get out of the way and let the
people control their own communities and society in a non-capitalist
way.
