And then they pretend that they did all the work and demand that those icky leftists need to be excluded from the movement.

I wonder if "pork markets in beijing" is a euphemism for their body farms, and the Tories plan for brexit self sufficiency is to begin harvesting here to sell to the market in China. I mean a supply side solution would take up all our green belt land, so why not a demand side solution?

I think the milk or water first thing comes from when cheap china would shatter when exposed to hot water. If you were rich enough to afford good china you could show this off by pouring boiling water straight into your cup, unlike the poors who had to add milk to reduce the temperature of the water when it goes in the cup. I am spoilt by the office having a tap that dispenses almost boiling water for tea instantly, I now very rarely drink tea at home because having to wait for a kettle to boil is not the same.

I would be interested in an episode that looks at the top 10 reasons for a 'normal' Brit to be ancap / antifa. Like I know we all scoff and think 'duh, because it's obvious' but there are a lot of people that don't seem to have been able to come to that conclusion themselves, and it would be a good jumping off point in terms of "Here's where we're coming from, here's the basics, now you're on board" sort of thing.

Ancaps are anarcho-capitalists Well, they're not usually either, because capitalism is antithetical to anarchism and they're cargo-culting capitalism.

Oh, and to bring back slavery, how can I forget that one? Ancaps are why I instinctively distrust anyone who wears a bowtie.

it's probably worth noting that libertarianism is and was originally a term for anarcho-communists/anarcho-syndicalists and the american popular meaning is dumb, wrong and the opposite and should probably be fought back against, imo the left should reclaim words like liberty and freedom towards actual egalitarianism again since they're p powerful words people identify with

Ancappery is kill all government and let the market sort em out. Which yes will lead to corporations taking over the government but of course, if you don't like your corporate overlord, you can simply leave and serve another corporate overlord. The libertarian thread ended up inventing Valhalla DRO which was basically like renraku from shadowrun or some poo poo.

Bit of a yes, and ho! post, but.... I just learnt about the West Brom FC boiler mascot who came about after the club got sponsored by a boiler company. Corbyn should put "football clubs will be returned to the hands of their members" as a manifesto pledge. The general corporatisation of football and gentrification of some teams is quite interesting to me as an outsider who doesn't really watch football; but the low-level complaints fans have about disenfranchisement from their teams seems like an easy way to get lots of people who are ostensibly non-political on-board.
