I don't think I've read a post on this thread espousing communism.
But feel free to point them out?
As regards the broader point, I'd hesitate to go down Mason's road of tarring a couple of generations with the same brush.
I think (confess I'm nae sure) that I'm just about a Boomer (born 63?).
I think there's a lot of utter cunts in my generation.
Equally there's a lot of us who never bought into the short-termism of Thatcherism.
I dinna have Mason's global faith in the younger generations.
Yes, there's some dinna buy into the reactionary populism but many more do.
Far beyond that.....apathy.
I think the genie is too far oota the bottle, I think the world is fucked, I think there are people born now who will see the end of the world.
Yer Trumps and Farages (as well as all the far-right populists in Europe) are nae the drivers, they're the grifters taking advantage.
Capitalism has fucked the economy globally.
There's generation on generation disenfranchisement, nae cash to spend on interventionist, societal support and proper re-education so the cycle continues.
Each generation another round of cannon fodder.
I hope Mason's right but I think we're a' fucked.
