I have lived and worked in three communist countries. I've been in China for the past 12 years.
It is my personal belief that if any of the UK's 'Socialists' ever had to live under the systems I have lived and worked, not as a guest worker, as I have, but as a native, they'd be jumping the border quicker than a snake striking its prey.
Life isn't easy for natives living under such systems.
It certainly doesn't make them politically correct; in each case they were, and are, the least politically correct places I have known.
No dole money.
No health care.
No job = no food.
Virtually no holidays from work.
Westerners are way too soft for communism; they wouldn't last 2 minutes; they'd be crying like little babies.
UK Worker Under New Socialist State:
"I have the right to.."
UK Government Official Under New Socialist State:
"Shut the fuck up! You have the rights we give you! And even then, we can choose whether or not we allow you to use them. I'm getting a sense that you need to be re-educated. Is that what you're giving me?"
Nope! Not even two minutes.
The problem is, UK Socialists, you're deluding yourself. It's an ideological dream, an ideological nirvana. It has never worked anywhere in the world. And everywhere it is in existence, it isn't fun.
It's a little fun for the oligarchies which run things. But, if you're not in that group - forget it.
Life is hard, uncompromising, and difficult to bear.
You live in an imperfect system; however, that system is infinitely preferable to what you think you want, and what I know reality would bring you.
You need to snap out of it, wake up, and grow up.
Be thankful you were born where you are.
