There is a difference between pragmatic conservatives and zealous libertarians like Buchanan - Nancy MacLean,Democracy in Chains
All moderation gone, we are sleepwalking into a new dystopian phase where debate & reason have been strangled by dark money ploughed into Govt #Brexit
We have not learned from the history of libertarian devastation on previously stable socialist democracies like Chile that were dismantled and colonised by the Anglosphere. Decades later disaster/frontier capitalism has advanced into the very heart of western Europe. #BrexitLies
Libertarians will use all manner of subterfuge to gain power and authoritarian control of what they deem their inalienable right to 'property', the very roads they drive on built by labourers are now a red carpet route into local constituencies where charter cities will be built.
Cowering behind charity status, the party within a party pull the strings, anonymous donors throw endless cash to shape Govt policy, r/w think tanks lap it up and reclaim subscriptions as expenses while their partisan ideologies are made real.
Reducing big Govt to empty rituals in HoC serves the tactics of distraction while deregulation is methodically unleashed to ramp up a shareholder/CEO run Govt. The power to rewrite laws on ECHR under the pretext of Mogg's 'evangelical restructured sovereignty' is well under way.
There is a dangerous normalisation of 'lack of scrutiny' going on as 'Brexit Freedom Bills' are rushed through Parliament. Understand that 'freedom' under the Tories is a lie, the reality is unfreedoms for average working families and libertarian freedom to trash citiziens rights
UK is being eviscerated of its rights to protest, of workers rights to a decent wage. It's being force fed under duress an economic assault issued by the most despicable venal, immoral, unethical Tory Govt the UK has ever had the misfortune to suffer.

Unions are the thorn in the side of right wing libertarians, they cannot abide that workers come together and strike on frozen wages as CEO bonus caps are lifted and poor working conditions prevail. At every juncture privatisation chips away at workers rights. #Libertarian
The US model of absolute corporate power is now being methodically implemented into the UK body politic, a surgical grafting licenced by post Brexit deregulation from Rees-Mogg. A subversion stealthily deployed behind the relentless distraction headlines.
Charter=Private
Schools, prisons, hospitals, police start filling up that post brexit clean slate, the real ideologies of Brexit are about to become very dangerously real. Privatisation like you've never seen is set to become a ruthless orthodoxy over citizens lives.

It is becoming beyond painful to watch the UK msm and opposition not call out the methodical stealth takeover of democracy and ultimately peoples lives by minted libertarians, clear examples throughout history should be ringing alarm bells. I despair.
The whole infrastructure of how politics has been reduced to headlines about scandals should make you think about what is NOT being reported, a total lack of serious analysis and holding to account the funders and backers of Brexit and their libertarian agenda for the UK.
Until msm and opposition do their jobs properly they are enabling pointless tit-for-tat rituals, the inexorable r/w march of squeezing your lives empty will continue, the monetised coup will tighten its stranglehold on the welfare state, Tories window of opportunity is wide open!

UK 5 mins behind US not 10 years! US seduced by Koch's $$$s shaping Govt policy that has subverted democracy from within, James Buchanan was the go-between forging a right wing libertarian bridge with catastrophic impacts on entire US infrastructure. Parallel legacy for UK Brexit
Over decades Koch funded stealth tactics have been deployed to set up libertarian law and economics curricula in private US universities to train up antitrust lawyers and 'select' newspaper journalists. This undermined the intellectual foundations that serve public interest.
Subversion from within had to progress as the radical rights biggest hurdle was overcoming left wing academia and liberal arts by buying and training people to dessimate a 'persuasive libertarian analysis of social problems' The right built its counter intelligentsia in the 70's

Jacob Talmon - Totalitarian democracy is a system of Govt in which lawfully elected representatives maintain the integrity of a nation state whose citizens, while granted the right to vote, have little or no participation in the decision-making process of Govt. Ring any bells UK?
Fundaments of totalitarian democracy are 'exclusive territorial sovereignty' the right of control over everyone and everything, maintaining power requires the forceful suppression of any dissenting element except what the Govt purposely permits or organizes.
Citizens even when aware of their own powerlessness, may support a totalitarian Govt. As r/w think tanks advance the Anglosphere and evangelical religion, the revolving door spins resulting in a broken system that represents the political coming-of-age of absolute corporate power

Two thirds of Labour supporters voted Remain yet Labour doggedly appeasing the one third that voted Leave. Labour are a Pro Brexit party, no debate, no consideration of untold damage to UK infrastructure, they are embracing the oligarchs revolution, the libertarian clean slate.
Federal Trust’s new project -Brexit Can Be Undone. Prof Andrew Blick “Rejoining is the only satisfactory means of addressing the manifest problems caused by Brexit.” The opposition parties operating in self interest not their constituents, 'Govt' an obstacle to anarcho capitalism
Brexit will destroy what's left of public services, the UK will become a shareholders paradise, Govt will shrink, laws rewritten. Post Brexit will see rise of modern day slavery in charter cities and freeports, a not in my back yard approach to austerity will seal 'home rule'

Dishonesty has replaced Govt debate on Brexit.
Keir Starmer, how can he say with a straight face: “There is no case for rejoining”? Apparently Starmer does not wish to offend the third of Labour supporters who voted Leave – just the two-thirds who didn’t!

Federal Trust’s forthcoming project 'Brexit Can Be Undone' As Prof Andrew Blick of King’s College London article on the project: “Rejoining is the only satisfactory means of addressing the manifest problems caused by Brexit.”
But, experts eh? #BrexitHasFailed
Indifference to 'how things are' hallmarks of perpetual BS from Labour & Tories both in total denial of the Brexit wrecking ball. Sinister stealth tactics from Buchanans 70's 80s oligarchic revolution are playing out in UK politics, an obscene billionaire anti democracy movement.
