This sounds almost exactly like the LaRouche nutters, minus the conspiracy theories about the Queen of England. Good luck convincing people who simultaneously believe in open borders and free trade while eliminating corruption and increasing the politicization of the economy to come around. Why anybody thinks believers in "fair share", "progressive

I'd find mutualism a lot more palatable if it explicitly repudiated cultural Marxism and PC-ism, like Keith Preston has. That, and I find the whole egalitarian-leftist polemic very quickly wears out my gag reflex.

Also, this is more long term, but I'm likely going to leave this country entirely in the next 5-10 years.

I have noticed that the establishment media tends to use Friedrich Hayek as the representative of more liberal policies contra Keynes, with Friedman in the centre-right. Curiously, the actual divergence of modern mainstream economics (the Keynesian-Neoclassical synthesis) is rarely discussed, a fact which continues to ruffle the feathers of the few

Some people I've talked to (largely British) seem to have this rather weird semantic issue with these two words. Best as I can tell, "state" means what most people outside of there just call "government" and "government" either refers to the parliament or to the ruling coalition/party, plus the executive branch in the
