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.
theguardian.com/money/2023/jun…
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...
...animal welfare, amending motions in Parliament, blocking passed motions, disability benefits, LGBTQ rights, equal pay, transfer of public wealth to private hands, etc, for what?
To ultimately privatise an entire country and make it impossible to rejoin the protectionist EU.
Origins of anarcho-capitalism came from medieval times where feudalism birthed 'free' cities. The Tories seized upon the word 'free' and bastardized it to mean free from regulation and democracy itself. Sunak's freeports and their 75km investment zones will become privately owned
There's a way to fix this mess, the post-war social contract saw 30-40 years of 'managed capitalism' where people could earn decent wages, buy their own homes and enjoy FOM. Tories hated this period of equal prosperity and growth and planned its downfall.
Compare FDR's term in office with the Tories, each over a decade but with polar opposite results. FDRs New Deal saw equality and growth for all under 'managed capitalism'. Tories inequality of growth and prosperity for the 1% under anarcho-capitalism!
The core ideology of anarcho-capitalism plays out within the post-Brexit project, 3rd country status, dismantling of entire social and legal infrastructure via deregulation. This means property magnates swoop in and carve up the UK into competing zones.
Labour FM Mark Drakeford has signed off on 2 Welsh freeports with Sunak and Gove, this 'deal' was overseen by none other than Shanker Singham, the brains behind Brexit. Drakeford has absolutely betrayed Welsh citizens for generations to come.
Singham plays an outsize role in the most important policy debate in British politics in decades, he is a 'governance consultant' who specializes in privatisation and deregulatory reforms, the dismantling of Govt rule to corporate rule. #BrexitDisaster

The Department for Health and Social Care is so unrepentant about information transparency that it would rather put itself in contempt of court than hand over the documents.

BREAKING: Ministers are to launch legal action against the official Covid public inquiry in a last-ditch attempt to avoid handing over Boris Johnson’s unredacted WhatsApps.

theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/j…
Sunak promised 'Integrity, professionalism and accountability' as PM while his backers warned a Boris Johnson comeback would be a “guaranteed disaster”.

Southern Water privately owned by Macquerie an Aussie Finance Group. 6 mths ago ICO ordered them to disclose docs of their meetings about its sewage dumping, previous year it had pleaded guilty to 51 offences of discharging billions of litres of shit into SE England's waterways> Image
Judge said the company had shown 'a shocking and wholesale disregard for the environment, human health, fisheries and delicate ecosystems to line their own pockets'. 168 offences in total, the company did not improve infrastructure. 2022 they discharged raw sewage at 83 beaches.
An Environmental Info Request asked SW to disclose minutes of its meetings, they refused to comply. The Infomation Commissioners Office said SW had a monopoly in the region and had to respond, SW refused again. Macquarie earned £2.8 billion from oil, gas and electricity divisions

Guardian puff piece😡 about Free trade deal with🇦🇺 with zero mention of catastrophic undercutting of British farmers, carbon footprint, 🇦🇺track record of appalling climate change denial and intensive farming practices. Race to the bottom is complete.
theguardian.com/australia-news…
A winter of self-inflicted discontent is coming with lashings of chaos, disorder and departures from European standards that protect food security. Brexit embracing globalism for anarcho-capitalists is rotting the foundations of regulation with unecessary red tape. #Brexit
Food price rises as inflation skyrockets from a triple whammy of Brexit, Covid & Ukraine. British food production is suffering and cannot sustain being undercut by 'big agri' like 🇦🇺EU requires all imported beef to be strictly HGP-free, which restricts majority of 🇺🇸🇦🇺🇨🇦 produce

What will Labour do when in power that is any different to what the Tories are doing to the UK?
Blair was Thatchers greatest achievement.
Embracing deregulation weaponises anarcho-capitalists and entrenches austerity as a policy choice.
So please, what will change?
FM Mark Drakeford has embraced Shanker Singham, Gove and Sunak's freeports, these will totally change the fabric of post-Brexit UK where venture capitalists can operate with private laws beyond Govt reach. I absolutely despair at how gullible people are.
I have always voted Labour, I will do so again, so stop the fucking pile on. We must be able to question our political representatives, no one can be a perfect leader, they're just people. The mistake being made by Labour is in economics and blind trust that markets self regulate

How does a 'solidarity union' function when Drakeford's Freeports pact with Sunak, Gove and Shanker Singham paves the way for patchworks of corporate sovereignty in Wales? He's just invited anarcho-capitalists to carve up Wales for off-shore profiteering.
theguardian.com/politics/2023/…
Read @eyes_lilly expose of Sunak's Freeports bolstered by the Levelling Up and Regeneration Bill and of course the REUL Bill which will further trap locals in investment zones, aka charter cities.
The tactic is to make rejoining EU impossible. #Brexit

@carolvorders Something very suspicious here, I suspect an engineered attempt at insolvency to 'merge' this council into a CCA, transferring public wealth to private hands and start land grabbing like Teesside, this area sits on the border of Southhampton (Solent) Freeport.👇🏻
@carolvorders Well, what do you know? US ExxonMobil listed here as a tax site with Southampton Water...ExxonMobil's environmental record has faced much criticism for its stance and impact on global warming, so the usual greenwashing BS of deregulated Freeports is a go
solentfreeport.com/what-is-a-free…
'As the UK’s number one export port, Southampton handles exports worth £40 billion annually, including £36 billion destined for markets outside the EU'...deregulation dystopia off-shoring wealth for the 1% will devastate what's left of UK economy. #Brexit
