Unless Labour actually does democratic socialism, this is a guarantee for a Reform dictatorship.
“Ahead”? Geez…
Or we could just seize our stolen wealth back from billionaires.
There is literally zero reason we need to let them keep it, all these articles about how bad it will be is just to distract us from why no one else has resources.
Fuck stockpiling baked beans, start raid mansions.
… set to fall for us pee-ons who can’t or won’t be able to afford anything
As usual, our rich and wealthy overlords will live in luxury while complaining about how they lost 5% of their billions of dollars of wealth.
Until it’s time to storm the Bastille.
No one’s going to storm any Bastille until we are threatened with actual starvation. Past revolutions happened because people had absolutely nothing to lose but their lives.
Wealthy overlords have figured out that as long as they keep our food supply available, we will never revolt. It doesn’t mean that we will be happy or that we will disagree with it … it’s as long as food is made available to us no matter how meager or unpleasant, then we will never rebel.
So unless we’re starving, we’ll never rebel … governments and wealthy owners have figured out that they have to keep us fed, even if its just a little (and even if its shitty food), to keep us pacified.
That still assumes people have a place to stay. When jobs don’t cover rent anymore and you’re having a lot of folks holding an eviction notice things get ugly a bit faster.
Why would they keep the food supply available? The food companies aren’t stopping to maximize profits because that’s endangering the profits of someone else. They are gonna keep maximizing and lowering the cost of the supply chains at the expense of resiliency. More and more people would go hungry. Either enough of us go hungry gradually or a supply shock puts most of us out of food rather quickly.
