Context on these criminals. Ayn Rand (1905) was a writer who left🇷🇺for US in 1926, she escaped communism but substituted it for far right libertarian views. Sunak is a huge fan of her. Rand advocated empowering the state via police and judiciary to protect individual property>

Rand's free market ideology became a benchmark for libertarian attacks on the state which we are seeing rightg now from the Tories. Sovereignty has been 'restructured' (Rees-Mogg) to favour private interests and corporate rule beyond interference of big Govt.

Rand disagreed with Hayek, he supported certain state interventions such as health care and minimum wage as insurance against revolution. Rand saw this as a betrayal of a 'free society' ruled by r/w ideology, if that makes sense.

Rand's The Virtue of Selfishness was panned by critics yet their appeal to venture capitalists railing against the New Deal and the welfare state took pleasure from her books being suffused with sexual violence. Note how many Tory MP's charged with sexual assault! @raycraib

Rand's books inspired the right wings violent attacks on pretty much the entire infrastructure of a democratically equal/stable society, stoking division via pseudo patriotism and copious amounts of dark money and fraudulent activity brought about Brexit.

Is it any wonder that Rand's scenarios were taken up by libertarians and fascists alike? Look at what's happening post Brexit, disaster capitalists are asset stripping SMEs, land grabbing/paving the way for SEZs to become charter cities, a libertarian exit from democracy itself.

From the ashes of total socital collapse and ruin,Truss and her criminal cartel have a transatlantic network of liberty with +500 r/w dark money funded think tanks pushing partisan agendas while stealing tax payer money to subsidize a corporate coup.

Everything happening post Brexit was planned, divide the public, throw the country into disorder and chaos, bonus cherries on top were Covid and Ukraine. Tories keep shocking, keep torturing and punishing those struggling into total subjugation. Why?

Rand's dream was to withdraw from society and build a capitalist retreat, this involves collapsing and privatising entire economies, forcing those on low to middle incomes to move into slums, #CharterCities will segregate the rich from the poor. #Brexit

Truss plans to deregulate 2,400 EU laws by 2023, Trump managed to repeal 85 laws in 2 years time. Manifestations of totalitarianism repeatedly come up up in Rand, Hayek, Arendt, Friedman, Kolm, Tom Bell, Buchanan's ideology, all symptoms from history.
