This thread is about the UK, not Italy.

However, if we are to talk about Italy, its always had a problem with fascism, being its birthplace and all. A millenniam long hangover from Romes slave economies and Christianity is to blame for what makes it very much the outlier and not the norm here.

There might have been a copyright issue. However, the only legal cases involving

There have been a few lawsuits over using the same chord progression

Have failed. The most famous of these would be ed sherans. Its other stuff, with the chord progression. Like the eye of the tiger. You could steal those chords but you couldn’t steal the “duh…duh duh duh” bit with the chords, if that makes sense.

Oh for sure, with the melody too, it would be well over the line. I just didn’t want any aspiring song writters to get spooked. So, I thought to clarify was all.

You can’t copywrite a chord progression

Thats because things like congress or a parliament are made, specifically to shield power from democracy, through the pretence of democracy. Its aristocratic rule. Although the same net result as the US, the UK is clearer showing how it works. We had a barrons revolution in 1215 and they’ve been in charge ever since. We just changed who the barrons are and what makes someone a barron.

Even the ancient greeks had that one figured out centuries ago.

The system is working exaxtly as intended.

Hard agree. They gutted the electoral commission while gerrymandering like crazy. They have an army of right wing boomers brow beating anyone they come across into the ground with their “the two parties are identical in every single way” BS (all claiming to be left wingers while doing so, of course). If labour had been betting on things, using insider knowledge, there would be arrests already. The Met police went to the most secure and videoed place in the country (10 downing street) and lied, telling the whole nation that there was no evidence of the parties they were having during lockdown. Etc etc etc.

The very wealthy people and powerful people they represent won’t go quietly, if at all, and they have no morals.

Small, immediate rewards for small achievable goals. We respond to them better than people without ADHD

On the other hand even trying to level everyone to the lowest level is wrong.

If only there was a third option. Somewhere between “a doctor and a kitchen hand earning the same money” and human greed, expressed in economic form. Oh well, never mind I guess.

True, the correct balance would be conserve the power and let everyone else to rise, but I undestand it is an utopian vision (the established power would never allow it).

Its not so much that. Its that their power is power over other people. Its the power to charge a levy (exactly like a tax) on the money people earn for using their things etc. The idea that one can be lifted while the other is retained is a contraction in terms.

but the conservatives are now starting to talk to them again while the progressives are still talking only to themself in an ivory tower.

Considering the conservatives are about to be whiped out at the next election, I hope that was meant to be ironic.

When they say “the housing crisis”, is that what the poors call the record profit boon?

They were half serious and an elaborate ruse. You see, I dont actually subscribe to neoclassical ideology. Crazy huh? Aren’t words wild?

All the people who understood what was going on and voted on it. Youre the only person who’s had a problem here and needed it all explained to you, in little bits. Just you, on your own.

As opposed to a big man who calls people a coward from safely behind their keyboard? Grow up.

No, i thought you had poor social skills and, as such, I couldn’t be bothered with you. I said what I though would make you go away. Although, it turns out you’re were even more bitter and poorly socialised than I thought you were which is really saying something.

Youre right about one thing at least, although you didn’t say it directly. Much like everyone else in your life I, should’ve just ignored you. I won’t make that mistake again. By all means, feel free to reply and scream into the void. It won’t be read.

Lol sure, as you can tell from my comments here, I was being deadly serious the whole time.

Youre the one who got all weird. Everyone else could tell I was joking around. I even let you know my intention wasn’t to be rude and that it seems to have been taken the wrong way.

You’re the problem here.

I definitely made one but it seems to have come across wrong or rude. That wasn’t my intention.

Lol exactly, no one.

The first rule of colonisation is to make the colonised pay for their own colonisation.

Yeah sorry, ill have to put the project on hold. My laptops got the clap again.

While balance can be good some times, the idea that a group of business interests and oligarchs coming together for the sole purpose of lowering their tax bills and buying the nations assets for peanuts, maskerading as a political party, could provide said balance is a strange one.

Conserving the established power and wealth as well as keeping everyone else down is the only thing they look to conservatives look to conserve. The rest is the lies they tell, in order to get in to do it.

Of course workshy scroungers, who live off of other people’s hard work, will only want to spend other peoples money.

Ask them how they feel about poor people doing the exact same thing with government money and you’ll soon find out that they were just bullshitting you to justify their greed and exploitation all along.

Youre thinking of social Darwinism, not evolution.

Its not just tankie who ignore them. Its also anyone who knows anything about evolution, as things like chiefs and kings only started happening a blink of an eye ago (in evolutionary terms) we can ignore things like chiefs and kings completely.

However, our collectivism, mutual aid and cooperation is what set us so far apart from our competitors.

So close: “tax breaks, for the rich.” If poor people stop paying tax too, whos going to pay to enforce enforce all the exploitation and wealth extraction done by the rich?

After blast off, the static T forms a new a new acronym of evil with the infamous L, G and B.

Wake up sheeple.

I think you know as well as I do that your honesty and integrity in describing how people are being fucked over by this process excludes you from neoclassical economics. Its always easy to catch out the fakers.

I mean, how am I supposed to justify tax breaks for the rich with that?

Its okay, as I neoclassical economist, I know exactly how to fix this issue.

Tax breaks for the rich.

Ask me to solve any economic problem, I have the answers.
