The UK is in serious shit.
Maverick Edwards of Liberty University describes anarcho-capitalism as a political, social, and economic theory that places markets as the central "governing body" and where government no longer "grants" rights to its citizenry.

Anarcho-capitalism is anti-statist/Governance, libertarian. Its economic theory seeks to abolish centralized states in favor of stateless societies with systems of private property enforced by private agencies, free markets and self-ownership.
Post Brexit UK will make this flesh.

'Taking back control' has never been in the publics interest, look at the plethora of laws currently being deregulated/abolished since leaving the EU, they span, protest rights, workers rights, food safety, environmental protections, voter suppression, land grabbing...
I guess once the not safe for EU labels start rolling out, Billingsgate Market will need an E-Coli section for UK consumption only.

What do the Tories mean by their championing of ‘Singapore-On-Thames’ post-Brexit freedoms bonanza? Thatcher kickstarted the turn away from Europe with her wish for ‘a kind of free-trade and non-interventionist Singapore’.
Singapore and Hong Kong are indicators of economic governance where the short-circuiting of democracy was the key to their successes. Singapore’s troubling working classes were bypassed in favour of bringing in foreign workers who could be hired, fired, and then deported.
The state shaped Singapore’s success, not the free market, it set up massive land reclamation projects around its coasts using sovereign wealth funds and ‘plugged in’ to multinational corporations. Singapore avoided years of development by bringing in tech and a foreign workforce

(Expect trolls from doing this so be prepared to ignore and block them)

2. This works because political parties use social media sentiment monitoring tools to analyse the public mood.
3. The aim of paid troll disinformation farms is
(a) to demoralise you,
(b) to ensure they get more tweets out than you that are negative about what you are calling for,
and (c) ultimately to destabilise society and make you think your fellow countrymen are idiots.

2. The UK government claims to want to take back control of borders.
But did they mean control of settlement immigration? Or actual control of border crossings?
Do they even know what they want to control?

Do they even know what they want to control?
3. In reality, as a non-Schengen country, and as an island, the UK has always had full control of its border crossing points. UK is surrounded by water which helps. The only exception perhaps is the open Irish border but that’s down to the Good Friday Agreement not EU membership.
This🧵draws parallels between Truss' model of investment zones to those installed in Shenzen, China, another model of capitalist achievement lauded by the libertarian right. Even Chinese citizens needed visas to enter the quarantined ‘corporate zone of economic experimentation’.
Inside this zone, local entrepreneurs were left to self organize as corporate management had been handed Govt powers. The zone had a huge influx of foreign investment as land and labor were aggressively commodified.
1987 an inland market was set up, a deluge of venture capitalists descended onto Shenzen, huge swathes of land were taken from rural usage and transformed into private property, this was one of the biggest transfers of public wealth to private hands in modern history. UK next!

Not such a good idea to talk about winners and losers.
For one thing, the UK and its citizens had "lost" once they had voted for Brexit and engaged A50.

For another, Europe needed to protects its member states, citizens and way of life. It this it succeeded absolutely.

But it is telling that the Brexiters and many Britons feel they have "lost". Quite simply, life is worse outside Europe and there is strength in unity.
But it is also clear that Brexit, apart from being foolish, was plain directionless from the off.

I honestly don't understand the "solution" to the #NorthernIreland issue which was caused by the #BrexitDisaster that #RishiSunak seems so excited about.
A short 🧵. Maybe someone can enlighten me.
Apparently the solution is something called the #NorthernIrelandProtocol

Apparently, according to this protocol, there will be a "border at sea." Goods coming from England to Northern Ireland will be marked as those terminating in Northern Ireland or those going on to Ireland (EU checks.)
I don't understand how this will solve the problem. (2/8)

The whole point of the UK coming out of the EU was the implication that the UK will not benefit from the European market rules. That means, for example that French cheese is cheaper for European countries than it is for England.

Absolutely F*****G INCREDIBLE!
Rishi Sunak just spent 2 minutes boasting about how Northern Ireland is the "most exciting exciting investment zone on the planet" because it has full access to the UK and EU market...
You know... like we did before Brexit!

My "live" reaction to @RishiSunak on the clock app.
This is why I said the Brexit debate is over.
They've stopped hiding the fact that Brexit is bad for the people to the UK.
The only question is: how long do we tolerate voluntary poverty?

According to the IMF, even Russia – hit by massive international sanctions – is set to out-perform the UK. When it comes to our nearest global competitors, the self-imposed economic sanctions of Brexit appear to outweigh all others.
Even Russia...

Disaster capitalists, r/w populists and fascists have hobbled a once stable country that rarely suffered the sort of political ruptures that affected other nations. 7 years of BS since the vote to leave the EU, Britain has become a byword for political chaos.
Senior Labour and Liberal Democrat MPs have scolded the Government for using £45 million in ‘levelling up’ funding in an attempt to fix Brexit-related queues in Dover.

This is the price the country pays for Johnson's reckless legacy, the Tories much trumpeted 'levelling up' agenda is desperately trying to put sticking plasters on it's own cock ups. It was always going to be this way, Brexit cannot work.
@LaylaMoran "The Tories decision to erect barriers to trade with our neighbours has done real damage to the UK economy – and now vast sums of taxpayer cash is being spent on trying to mitigate the damage. It’s farcical"
Do you believe Labour can make Brexit work?
Interesting paper here from The Rejoin Party which analyses the main opposition parties refusal to commit to rejoining or listen to the majority of millions of potential voters fed up with the status quo and relentless damage Brexit continues to inflict.

Tories represent a grotesque distortion of high office, warped libertarian ideology honed for decades by economists and implemented through think tanks masquerading under charity status, using public money! Could it really get any worse? Wait til REUL Bill kicks in Dec 2023
Please watch @CSBarnard24 Prof of EU and Employment Law explain why REUL Bill is an unprecedented far right attack on the rule of law, why the Tories will have nothing in place and what the ensuing chaos will bring for the entire country. #BrexitDisaster
R/w thinking behind charter cities exploits philanthropy that privately run cities will alleviate poverty, don't be fooled, they are a deregulation nightmare hatched by libertarian economists to install corporate rule beyond Govt reach. #BrexitReality
Liars and thieves continue to prop up performative wins when the hard truth is absolute carnage of UK infrastructure on all fronts. #BrexitDisaster

Tories will not fess up, Labour will not mitigate the damage with common sense approaches like realigning with the EU. The UK has been kidnapped by disaster capitalists, xenophobes, racists and radical right libertarians under the guise of patriotism. What a fucking mess.
The worst is yet to come, 31st Dec REUL Bill sunsets 4000 EU laws in 1 fell swoop, no country has ever done this in world history. Employment rights, food safety, environmental laws, all protections abolished, transition phase mean corporate fascism for UK
UK hanging by a thread, once deregulation frenzy hits on Dec 31st 2023, a cartel of libertarian stakeholders from Singham, JCB, ERG/IEA, PEEL Group, Locus Economica will have successfully exploited Brexit to completely change UK laws for corporate control miro.com/app/board/uXjV…
Property and dispossessing low to middle income earners will force public to work in private sector, welfare state will perish. Join the dots, do you honestly believe that mass deregulation will those on benefit low to middle income? #BrexitDisaster
Libertarian tactics to dispossess the 'wrong' sort of homeowners by squeezing them dry via excess inflation, privatised services, mortgage increases, cost of living, forcing them to sell up and move to poorer areas, like tiny apartment living in Hong Kong

'Profound effects on UK legal system if (when) it becomes law'. Trump repealed 85 laws over 2 years. Why are they in such a rush? Deregulation will inflict havoc on workers protections with 'sunsetting' clauses.
Deregulation is the key word of understanding Brexit. Tories want a trade war with EU with severe consequences on so many levels of infrastructure, safety/CE mark, environment, workers rights, devolved administrations will experience political power grabs from Westminster, insane
