I'm 31 now, so probably a little bit older than the target demographic of this message, but can't agree harder. I left uni in 2014 to enter a job market at the height of Tory austerity. Forget 0 hours, I worked for 3 years for a company WITHOUT a contract, and when I was finally given one, I had to fight for it not to be a 0 hours contract (I'd worked 40-60 hour weeks for all of those 3 years). We only succeeded because me and a few of the other recent hires at the same time had actually managed to become valuable enough to the company that all of us threatening to leave was something that would have hit the company's output. After we were all signed onto real contracts on minimum wage, the company started exclusively bringing in agency workers so they wouldn't have to deal with that situation again.
Agree with a lot of what you've said, especially the part about Labour. I voted Green this previous election, not because I had hope for them winning, or even because I think they're particularly socialist, but because Labour had it in the bag and the Green's policies are left of where Labour is now. The more people who vote in that direction, the more likely Labour will adopt those positions (hopefully anyway). The party is a god damn mess since the legendary Jezza and it was before him too, Starmer isn't the guy, but 3rd parties rarely see much success. The most realistic path forward is to keep working to pull labour left. The generational gap is interesting to me as well. Older generations seem to recall a time when the system worked flawlessly for them, while younger people lack this experience. Societies that normalize unquestioning respect for institutions always perpetuate inequality, since even the well-meaning individuals defend injustices when they incorrectly perceive the system they live in as working. This mindset fuels resistance to socialist ideas as if it's still the years of the red scare. Glad there are still voices in the UK Left like yourself though, gives me a little hope.
Totally sympathise and agree with what you say too. I hope to see Jezza one day back in the party, though I am glad he ran against the party who treated him with absolute cruelty and won against them. He may never want to come back and I don't blame him! Starmer will be a nobody this time next year. When the right get jittery and fear their luxury seats are about to be taken away, he will be removed. What happens next will be where the fight begins. P.S I'm not going to say that with full chest 😂 if the economy gets better, Starmer may hang in there, but I don't think it will and if we get one pensioner freeze to death, or multiple kids starve alongside a stagnating economy, then it's over. Next year’s local elections will be a fun one to watch!
"The party is a god damn mess since the legendary Jezza and it was before him too," Not such a mess as the Tories. If political parties were cities, Labour would be Stoke-on-Trent and the Conservatives would be Gotham.
This is a dangerous situation, but all the older generation want to do is put the boot in. If every person had the same rate of consumption then younger people would by their age have only consumed a fraction of the older generation so far, but if you take the lowering consumption forced on them by austerity, then the younger generation will only consume a mear fraction of the older generation.
Young ppl arent already too invested in a broken system. Im US based mind you. But in my early 20's as i came to realizations about property taxes, home taxes, income taxes, etc...

Brilliant video. I don't think I actually disagreed with anything you said. I'm already sharing it among my friends who have become disillusioned. The one thing I'd counter is the house of lords. I think we should remove the lords but keep the house and have an open jury like system where voters from across the political and social spectrum are chosen through a lottery like process. The public should have a chance and more opportunities to scrutinize any legislation before it receives "royal ascent". I'm in favour of removing the royals as head of state but I'm not sure the rest of the country is yet. My idea is based on the ancient Greeks. I think it could work but I may be missing something
I used to call for a worker's chamber, where trade union officials and people who represent the workplace would scrutinise bills, etc. Though that can add layers of bureaucracy which may not be needed. But I do agree that there could be some more scrutiny as long as it's designed by the people.
I think we shouldn't just consolidate the companies under giant state-run bureaucracies. Instead, you should really break up these corporations and their capital and sell it off into worker co-ops. If you were to nationalize anything, it would be labour, and it would be land. Nationalize labour to set universal labour standards. And nationalize land to abolish the feudal practice of rent.
I think worker co-ops are a bit of a reformist idea. It essentially argues that capitalism can still exist, but you can have it “ethically” with all workers receiving the same pay, conditions, etc. However, companies would still have to compete, inevitably leading to exploitation. I think that under public ownership, you split control into thirds-a third of workers, trade union officials, and a socialist government. That way, you have different voices at the seat of the table.
@@DrJoeLovelace Perhaps have worker co-ops be prevalent in certain industries, such as services and agriculture. For public sectors such as construction, transportation, and mineral extraction, it could be more government orientated. Also, competition under co-ops wouldn't result in mass layoffs and disenfranchisement, but would just result in underemployment. Which would be supplemented by working in another co-op. Also, when you account for automation, a co-op would fully benefit from it because the workers would own said automation.
Yep. I think smaller industries wouldn't be so bad. We would need to see how it works in practice, but you persuaded me more with your first point. As long as there was regulation so that they couldn't overtake each other as organisations, I wouldn't be opposed to that. Actually, as a favour to me. I've read quite a bit of critique on worker co-ops but not necessarily all voices on those who support it. Do you recommend anyone? Perhaps I could have a bit more of a nuanced approach to it.
