Labour is stranded on the cusp of the post-socialist era
Starmer and his cadres cling to an extinct ideology that is being rejected across the globe
It might not be obvious to those living in Two-Tier Starmer’s tax-ratcheting, competence-free police state, but the developed world is about to enter the Post-Socialist Era. The discredited and brutish delusion that has haunted mankind since the publication of the Communist Manifesto in 1848 has finally run out of road.
For one and three-quarter centuries, socialism, in its myriad formulations, has impeded human progress and, when the opportunity offered, snuffed out liberty. From Marxism-Leninism to Trotskyism, to so-called social democracy, to Scandinavian welfare socialism, to Maoism, to Frankfurt School cultural Marxism, to Pol Pot’s agrarian nihilism, to Beijing’s state capitalism, to New Labour and the EU’s bureaucratic statism – every conceivable permutation of the original crazed composite of class hatred and economic illiteracy has burned itself out, unfortunately at the cost of more than 100 million innocent individuals slaughtered by a creed whose precepts, in the final analysis, were neither credible nor sane.
