Back in 1979
The Westеrn world was in decline

#NeoLiberals will do what neoliberals do… sell the Sate to private enterprise. They’re such #Grifting hypocrites, because I refuse to believe that they do not know that #StateCapture is harmful to society.

#Privatisation has never, in written history, benefited society and only leads to degradation of services and eventual parlous state requiring public bailouts… meanwhile #TheRich have sucked all the $$$ out of it in the process. This is a familiar merry-go-round, seen before, seeing it again, and unless things change we’ll see it again… the great golden goose that never fails to deliver to the top end of town.
