If Brexit is sabotaged successfully, it will be the final erasure of democracy in favour of corporatocracy. The arrant hypocrites of the so called centre-left, anywhere in the world, are conscience-less servants of the pay cheque, utterly without ideology and more than willing to do anything at all to look good in the eyes of their peers. Even the ideological stance of the far right, reprehensible as it might be, is at least an ideology; the neo-Nazis of Pravii Sektor, the Hindunazis of the Bajrang Dal, the headchoppers of ISIS – they’re gutter scum, but they are by and large willing to fight and (especially in the last instance) die for their beliefs. The “centre left liberal” has no such ideological spine. Indeed, he’s not even got a notochord. He’s a worm, squirming always in the direction of least resistance, while proclaiming himself to be the high-flying, far-seeing eagle. His contempt for the ordinary people is absolute, far more than that of the right. In the name of “globalisation”, “internationalism”, or other meaningless terms, he’s much more than willing to throw the poor under the multinational bus. These vermin are the foot soldiers of imperialism; and it’s no surprise that while actual Communist parties (like that of Ireland) welcomed the Brexit vote, it’s these “centre left liberal” types who are apoplectic with fury. If they manage to subvert the Brexit vote (rather than the much more likely method of simply letting it wither on the vine by “negotiations” which will ultimately change nothing), they’ll send a signal to their fellows across the world. The message will be, democracy and popular will are unimportant; only the self-selected, educated, affluent have a right to decide what’s good for everyone. I do hope the British people are taking note.
