Bill is right...what spoils everything is not left or even right wing ....it is greed and corruption......where I disagree is the assumption that if a thing is right wing it must be better than left wing.
Right wing by its very nature in dividing things up into very unequal slices with the rich getting even richer at the expense of the poor cannot and never will be the way forward. Another myth is to think that the private sector is better and more efficient than the public sector.....a bad manager is a bad manager whether public or private.... the fact that in the private sector greedy shareholders skim off the top makes it mathematically impossible for capitalism to be as efficient as the equivalent public sector enterprise.
In my country we have seen many former nationalised industries and services privatised..... the results are all the same..... lower standards and no public accountability, a cut in pay and conditions for employees and a poorer service at a far higher cost for consumers. Meanwhile the fat cats who own these companies are lining their pockets hand over fist.
For the folks who still are under the misappprehension that capitalism is a fair and proper system.......just look back a hundred years or so when little kids were sent down mines and up chimneys...there was no unions, health and safety rules, or health care, or social welfare protecting the old and vulnerable....you worked till you died for a pittance and you died much younger. Nowadays we take all these welfare things for granted but forget it was socialists and the unions who fought and died for these rights....If the capitalists had their way we would be back to those bad old days in an instant.
