Will Jeremy Corbyn Transform The UK Into A Marxist Economy And A Police State?
When radical left-winger Jeremy Corbyn shocked the UK political establishment by taking over the country’s Labour Party, few thought he would last long as leader of the official opposition in Parliament. Yet, in the snap election called by then-PM Theresa May, he surprised everyone with a strong showing, denying May a majority government. Now, with Brexit creating massive political chaos in the United Kingdom, only the foolhardy would claim that Corbyn has no chance of becoming the nation’s next prime minister.
Corbyn is believed by many to be both a radical, Trotskyite-style Marxist, and an anti-Semite, who has associated with holocaust deniers and visited the graves of Palestinian militants who murdered Israeli athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympics.
But what about Corbyn’s plans for remaking the UK economy? The leading financial publication in the United Kingdom, the Financial Times, has just published an in-depth analysis on what Jeremy Corbyn plans to do to the economy of the United Kingdom, should he become prime minister. The article ( https://www.ft.com/content/e1028dda-ca49-11e9-a1f4-3669401ba76f ) points out that the Marxist dogma underlying the plans of Corbyn and his Trotskyite advisors would involve massive wealth confiscation and redistribution of the national economy, in essence a program not too dissimilar to what occurred in Venezuela under the late Hugo Chavez ( whose policies Corbyn has publicly praised).
More than 25 years after the fall of the Soviet Union, is European Marxism about to have a rebirth under a future Prime Minister Corbyn? And would Corbyn-style Marxism bring about the same level of tyranny, police state oppression and economic destitution that occurred in the old Soviet-bloc, and is currently afflicting Venezuela?
