I woke up with a very clear view of the massive problem we face.

A virtual neoliberal dictatorship, has been imposed on our societies, because all the main parties have secretly been taken over by neoliberalism. Yet, most of the public, has no idea what neoliberalism is.

Yes, the public is baffled, by why no matter who they vote for, they bizarrely get the same nasty policy they hate. But they completely baffled, by why politicians, insist on imposing the same hated and stupid policy on them.

The public have no idea, that this hated policy, that seems to make no sense, is neoliberal doctrine, because:

1) 95% of the public have no idea what neoliberalism is.

2) Our politicians hide their neoliberalism, and pretend what they are doing, is just common sense.
3/

The public is very aware, that they get the same type of hated policy, whether they vote, Labour or Conservative, but they have got no idea why, because they do not know what neoliberalism is.

A lot of the British public has been fooled into thinking, that if they support Farage's, Reform, that they will breakout out of the Conservative/Labour stranglehold, on policy, which they hate. Not realizing that Farage and Reform, are neoliberal.
5/

In other words, if people vote Reform, they will get exactly the same type of neoliberal policy, they hate from Labour and the Tories, but from Reform. Reform aren't an alternative to, but you will get the same, but in an even nastier, neoliberal package.

The reason mainstream politicians won't talk about the neoliberal ideology they follow, is because the public, absolutely hate it. But the billionaires, oligarchs and corporations love it, and the politicians are in their pocket.
7/

In other words, if politicians want rewards from those with all the money, they will support neoliberalism, because if they don't their trust fund daddies, the oligarchs, will cut off their money, and promises of plush jobs in the future.

Neoliberalism = corruption

It is maintained by powerful vested interests with all the money, rewarding politicians who support neoliberalism, and smearing any politician like Jeremy Corbyn, who doesn't support neoliberalism - via the oligarch owned and controlled media.

Neoliberalism, rigs the system, because no matter which of the main parties you vote for, you will get neoliberalism.

I'm going to entirely support what I say here, by using the UK water industry as an example, to prove what a vice like grip, neoliberalism has on our politics.

One of the main tenets of neoliberalism, is privatising public services, and refusing to re-nationalise them.

I won't fully deal with this here, just give an outline. The main impetus of the Thatcher government to privatise the UK water industry, was their fanatical neoliberalism.

12/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_pri…

There is no doubt whatsoever, that the privatisation of the UK water industry, has been completely disastrous. Every river in England is now seriously polluted, and the water industry, is chaotic and incompetent, to say the least.
13/

The obvious solution, is to re-nationalise the UK water industry. But bizarrely, both Labour and the Conservatives, have refused, falsely claiming it would cost a massive amount of money, and instead financially bailing out these collapsing companies, which costs even more.
14/

The reason they refuse to re-nationalise the water industry is because of neoliberal doctrine, they are fully committed to, which basically says, if at all possible, thou shalt not re-nationalise anything.
15/

As I say, I will fully support my points.

Absolutely, the only reason the Starmer government, refuses to consider re-nationalising the water industry and to tax the very rich, is that the hidden neoliberal doctrine they keep secret, won't allow them to do that.
