Power and Land Grab

Updated: 4 days ago

Last week: The biggest farmland owner in the US, Bill Gates, visits Starmer and Reeves at Downing Street

This week: the Labour government sign British farming’s death certificate

Own a £4m farm, they will now pay £600k in inheritance tax. That tax will make retaining the farm unviable and the farm sold upon death to pay the inheritance bill.

We will see a huge reduction in agriculture output in the UK, generational farms closed and imports increased.

 

It's no coincidence. In the same way Starmer hopes to destroy small private landlords so large corporations can buy more property.

A new form of communism… food, housing, land, health, education etc…  all controlled by a few elite …

Which is not communism at all, it is the corporate form.

 

It’s a power and land grab. If you need to be told that now then you simply can’t be told.


A government shouldn’t have this much power.

It’s not unfathomable at all. Only those who pay no attention to political history, and who take claims that the government serves the universal interest at face value, can find this unfathomable. It’s a corporate power and land Grab. It’s what the ruling class do. It’s not difficult to understand, only difficult to fight back against. Some people, especially those who have been infantilised by easy times, lack the courage. There’s an unsavoury hidden agenda in play that is becoming less and less hidden to more and more people. Those who lack the nerve to fight back will claim it’s all a conspiracy theory and so marginalise and isolate those raising the alarm.

 

A potential reason for declining birth rates…

Having to explain to your children that:

Truth doesn’t matter

Liars win

There is no justice

Cheaters prosper

Money buys power

Money buys everything

Money buys everyone

The rich and power are above the law

Genocides are overlooked

Society is unravelling …

And the planet is being destroyed make the already mega rich even more rich

And most people either don’t know or don’t want to know because they haven’t got a clue what to do.

No one is coming to save you.

And most lack the nous and the nerve to save themselves.

Whoever is left will be finished by famine.

 

They’ve laid the foundations for famine, and people will laugh at conspiracy theories now, but not when people are hungry and fighting one another.


As for the activists and ideologues who think themselves Leftist, coming up with any number of rationalisations by which to distort and pervert the meaning of socialism, in their dishonourable tradition, the idea that the common folk registering their discontent are Far Right is for the birds. This is government-facilitated corporate greed on energy, property, water, and food, the final enclosure of the global commons, completing a process begun in the sixteenth century. When the Left actually had some idea what socialism was, it stood up for the common people. Now it aligns with the forces crushing the people. The UK government’s budget was a prime example of squeezing small businesses out of the market as part of a corporate asset grab. It’s all about depriving people and economic agents of autonomy and independence. Control of food and energy makes the control of people possible. Marx knew this, and criticised it; Marx’s supposed followers also know this, and are cheering it on. If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em. The contemporary Left is either utterly incoherent, or is working for the corporate form, the cultural Left as a corporate Left. The present Left, and the Greens with them, is either compromised, captured, or complicit. Either way, they are not fit for any purpose other than making the commons available to corporate power.


Thousands of small EU farmers are pressured into selling their farms because they can’t survive, whilst £2.7b EU subsidies are being paid out to billionaire landowners. Because in the race to equality, only the wealthiest stand to gain.


I have nothing more to say. It’s either game on or game over.
