socialists who've spent the last 100 years supporting brexit have been entirely right. the EU is neoliberalism's most potent institution, it's constitutional to the whole project. the problem is, of course, that the very rich have realised that disruption is incredibly profitable and are peeling off the 10% of the working class who are dumb enough to believe in their lies

class consciousness is too low at the moment and the world doesn't have the time to fix it. we're all hosed
i think there's a contradiction between the base and superstructure. integration into the common market means a relative decline in the social and political status of the "gammons" and so they opt to challenge capital's objective priorities on that basis, to shore up their social and political dominance, but it's not a challenge happening on a class basis. to use an analogy it's like capitalism is the goose that lays the golden eggs (which are social and political prizes of dominance for middle-class white british and particularly english people of a conventional background), so when the goose stops laying so many golden eggs, the impulse is to strangle the goose to death and hoard the remaining eggs. that's brexit.

if caught between a reactionary campaign like that and the status quo, i'd pick the status quo. but like with scotland and N.I., brexit also threatens the political integrity of the united kingdom itself; i.e. capitalism's inability to reproduce itself without also destroying itself. so maybe that would be a good thing.

if corbyn had any actual charisma he'd have won. his policies and ideology were great but politicians need some sort of personal appeal, and ultimately boris had some sort of it for old assholes like trump does. corbyn just... doesnt.

solidarity british comrades. jeremy corbyn is a good man, but like bernie, he's not going to live to see the victory of socialism. his job was to keep the flame alive and pass it on to the next generation, and i'm afraid he's doing that now. fight like hell to make sure the next leader is a proper leftist, and take care of each other. dark times are coming but the pendulum always swings back.

This guy gets it.

Genuinely devastating outcome, our deepest condolences.

protips for living in the UK going foward: you can take your dog's medicine if you also have a similar issue (need for antibiotics, cortical steroid, pain management, etc) it'll be the same active chemicals just priced slightly less for no discernable reason. don't tell anyone!! otherwise it'll get too popular of a trick and they'll jack the price up because of increased demand!

remember that if you have an Irish grandparent you can still get an EU passport, the EU will probably still be a decent place to live for at least 3 or maybe even 4 years

Just remembered all the UK expats who are going to be in limbo once the no deal Brexit goes through. I wonder how they'll eat once their pensions stop.
