kikkelivelho posted:The Brexit was ultimately a leftist movement. Don't let the racist, anti-immigration narrative of the leave voters fool you: the brexit was always and will always be at it's heart a proletarian revolution against the ruling political and financial classes. The movement has been stained as racist both because the revolutionaries have been fooled into thinking that foreigners are the enemy and because the ruling classes are now trying to discredit their revolution by painting them as intolerant fuckwits. I hope to God you are right. I can see that you probably are. We have the chance to take greater charge as working people, but it may just be squandered and that power may be wrested away by strongman rulers, like in days past.
