The lessons from history I discuss are hard and unpalatable. But unless we learn from them, the arc of the moral universe will keep bending towards injustice. The default state of political systems is oligarchy, and fierce resistance is needed to arrest its resurgence.

Oligarchy is the foundation of the political parties in the UK. There is not one of them that's not be corrupted by the corporations that pay to fill out rivers with shit who's rights and needs MPs are there to cater for There children the shareholders who must be fed instead of school children.

The politicians don't intend to learn from them. They are paid by banks and corporations who dictate the policies.

State school children are taught that Santa brings presents for good kids and effort yields achievement, voting is effective and justice is blind. I wonder (not having partaken) how the private school history curriculum differs in arming our oligarchs' beneficiaries to thrive in the world as it is.

If we want to sustain even a modicum of democracy, equality, fairness and a functioning state, we need not the accommodation with economic power that Starmer seeks, but the mother of all battles with it.
