A twist: Libs, show us a place on Earth where capitalism failed??

[francoHFW]

OP- The United States,duh, under out of control capitalism under greedy idiot GOP leadership DUH. 1929 and 2008. The first gave us Hitler and Tojo, the second Brexit and Trump and we'll see. Depressions are great for RW demagogue liars and haters. Thank god this time liberals got into power FAST to avert a full blown depression in the modern word. Only cost 6-8 TRILLION in the USA.

Trump and Brexit may have an accomplice:
Donald Trump and Rupert Murdoch sit down for post-Brexit dinner
"One day after the U.K. referendum results shocked the world, Donald Trump dined with Rupert Murdoch, the owner of some of Britain's best known newspapers.
No doubt the two businessmen had a lot to talk about."

Yup, how they could fool ignoramuses in the US like they were in the UK...

Here's a ~15 minute TRNN interview with a socialist professor of political finance at the University of London who's saying Brexit was a denouncement of UK austerity policies as much as it was an expression of discontent over immigration.

Lapavitsas: The Left Needs to Develop an Alternative Plan for Europe

"LAPAVITSAS: If we start with a class understanding of what happened, which is fundamental, then we can understand the types of discontent.

"We should bear in mind that the poor in Britain--and I don't mean the organized working class, because that's a different issue that we can discuss in a minute--but the poor in Britain have been feeling under a lot of pressure because of sustained austerity for years. There's pressure on incomes, there's pressure on employment, there's pressure on housing, there's pressure on social services, that they have been subjected to sustained cuts because of austerity budgets for years.

"Now, put that together with substantial flows of immigration--inflows have actually trebled the last ten years, and the bulk of these inflows have come from Eastern Europe within the European Union--and you can see how the poor would be perceiving what has been happening to their country. They go to receive medical services, they're asked to wait for hours in the queue, and a lot of people waiting with them are recent immigrants.

"Now, unless someone comes out and explains to them that this is because of austerity and this isn't the fault of workers and so on, they'll draw the conclusion that it is the immigration that is to blame and it is the E.U. that is to blame.

"And that's largely what has happened. So the pressure over the last few years that the poor have been feeling has turned into an anti-E.U. perspective.

"Now, at the same time what we also have is an advanced and very prevalent sense that the lower social classes in Britain have of loss of control over their environment, loss of sovereignty over their own country, and a decline in democracy. The two go together. And that's the biggest lesson of the referendum: sovereignty and democracy and command over the conditions of life--and, in a sense, the country--for poor people go together. There was a prevalent sense of loss in Britain."
