Leftist Remain&Reformers (R&Rs) acknowledge Lexit criticism of neoliberal capitalism entrenched by EU but say it requires transnational response, not retreat to national politics.

What's the best response to this?
First, R&Rs of all stripes fear democracy and the demos
- but Brexit voters were not duped & are not dopes, they made an informed choice, however imperfect.
Mason / Varoufakis highlight *danger* of Brexit is return of fascism.

Second, despite criticising Brext "folly", R&Rs haven't "presented any plan, viable or otherwise, for reforming the EU.. This is not due to a failure of imagination. It is because the EU cannot be reformed along socialist lines. it is actually very hard to change the EU at all."
