Capitalism is in crisis! Thus spake Corbyn. And in some respects he’s right. The banks fucked up royally, buoyed on by greed and arrogance so for 10 years we’ve all been paying the price for their mainly illegal excesses. Ryanair fucks up the travel plans of 40,000 more travellers and offers them each a Kit-Kat as ‘full and final compensation’. The Americans and the Canadians are battling over the aeroplane market and so the Yanks have imposed a 220% import tariff on Bombardier (Canadian) planes, risking 10,000 jobs in Belfast, where they have a massive plant. We have a housing crisis and a few other crises as well.

But what is the alternative? To capitalism? Well, according to the Corbyn/McDonnell axis of dickheads, the answer is Marxism. Put everything into the public domain and what you can’t nationalise you control to death. Can’t buy all the private homes but you can control the rents. Can’t buy all the multinational companies but you can tax them to death. Can’t replace CEOs with unemployed fruit-pickers but you can cap their salaries by tax until its no longer viable for them to work.

Never mind, everything is ‘state run’, every worker union affiliated and gets a 10% salary hike each year, regardless of profitability, viability or even workload. So might as well sit in the corner and let someone else sort out the in-tray. Everyone has an in-tray because everyone works in offices trying to run the massive number of nationalised industries which are failing. Just like last time.

Communism doesn’t work. Even if capitalism is fucked 6 ways to hell, it functions economically 1000 times better than communism. There has never been a viable economic communist state. I’ll repeat that: THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A VIABLE ECONOMIC COMMUNIST STATE.

Which is why, in anticipation of what we’ll call ‘the glorious day’ when the red flag is raised over both the Palace of Westminster and Buckingham Palace (just shoot me now; at least its painless), those pragmatically Marxist labourites are working out the inevitable. Which is that if Corbyn gets in, there’ll be a run on the pound as foreign investors get their money ‘the fuck out’a Dodge’ faster than you can say “there’s no place for Jews in the Labour Party, because we deplore all forms of racism and ethnic intolerance”.

But its ok, I’ve booked my way out of this mess, just in case. Ryanair flight RY24…

Happy thursday
