    Yep! It’s easy to get an inflated ego, but that’s not particularly useful, nor materially backed-up. We just have, in general, become more forced by our material conditions into adopting the proletarian stance.

      indeed! and it might as well be that what he means by “socialism” is in actuality just “local leftist politics”, which i know nothing of as i’m not british.

        As a Brit, I can confirm that his statement can only reasonably be described as, in every regard, complete and utter bullshit.

          yeah, by what i’ve seen from the uk is that you have a massive problem with far-right violence, with the government trying to make it go away by not paying any attention to it? how’d you say that’s working out?

            Well, I haven’t experienced it firsthand myself where I live in the UK, but it’s going about as well as you might expect.

              that’s unfortunate.

              that was a weird question from me, i’m sorry. it feels needlessly cruel and vindicative now.
