The cries of the dead are terrible indeed; you should try not to hear them.
Not much of a "mad dog" if he wants to concede the Falklands back to Argentina, give NI back to Ireland, give Ukraine to Russia, leave NATO. You'd think that would constitute the opposite of mad doggery. Maybe sad dovery.

I'm sure the next general election will go swimmingly if Labour just come out and say "vote for us and we will confiscate your property. Don't like it? Vote for the tories, you scumbag. You piece of poo poo."

If they said that to the top 1% they'd probably landslide like a certain Mr Blair.

the legal and economic systems of Britain are complex enough that people enjoy being told that they've earned what they have, with no help from the state, and they'd earn more if not for filthy scroungers. It's simple.

Austerity is a commonsense argument and people like to hear those when they're threatened and confused. The fact that such a horrific system is why they're threatened and confused passes them by.

No, the entire point is that the British people loving love austerity. It plays into the weird attitude that saving is always necessarily better than spending that's built up in British culture.

A danger of having a far left mad dog like Corbyn is that you risk putting people onto a dilemma between the far left and the far right. If people lean just a little bit to the right, then the far right gets them.

Vs a contest between the center and the far right, where the center is closer to right leaning people than the extreme.

The Tories have control of both the social and economic narrative. They are fine with austerity. Blitz spirit etc. Things are bad because of REASONS, who knows what these reasons are, so it's time to "get on with it".

This will produce a generation of selfish "aspirationals" who stab each other in the back at every opportunity. The future is a charnel house but on the bright side, no one will win. The fucker who murders his way to the top will rule over ruin and then die. The human condition.

Purposeful political decisions are constantly being claimed as 'how the world works'.

Like how everyone seems to think immigration is a problem so the only argument is over how it should be reduced, and how the argument isn't over whether cuts are necessary, but what to cut. Neoliberal hegemony was a mistake.

Everything just seems completely insane. It seems like tories will just keep cutting spending forever until we are an ancap hellhole.

How do we employ 10,000 people between MI5 and GCHQ? That's nearly half the number of the Pentagon which has an enormous military and bloated military spending. No wonder it costs us over 1 billion a year.

Though I don't expect labour to lose there either of course.

That's a rather misleading comparison since the (loosely) equivalent US agencies are the FBI and NSA, not "the Pentagon". Google suggests the total combined headcount of MI5 and GCHQ is around 10k, while the combined headcount of the FBI and NSA is 70-80k, which is around the ratio you'd expect given that the population of the US is around 6 times that of the UK.
