Everyone has read Marx. The difference is, Corbyn and McDonnell are active followers of Marx's teachings. Which subsequently has led to this socialist manifesto.
Your not fooling anyone by calling it a Social Democracy. It's democratic until you are compelled by force to abide.
Tony Blair was adamant there was WOMD's, we all know how that turned out. Unfortunately Corbyn's actions and inability to control antisemitism in his own party leads to one conclusion. He's an antisemite or he's a terrorist sympathiser. I believe it's the former based on the evidence.
I will not pay more in tax for public services of which the majority i do not use. And it is theft, you are legally stealing 30% more of my money in tax by force.
Happier healthier society? Have you actually visited Sweden recently? Somewhere outside of Stockholm? I wouldn't say they are happier, the suicide rate is higher than the UK. But by all means if you feel you'll be happier under their "Social Democracy (Socialism)" then go and live there, guarantee your eyes will be opened.
Best country in the world? What in 2017? Go look at the rankings now. I am definitely not prepared to pay 60% in tax. I may as well work for the government if i pay that much in tax.
And who are you to tell me how to live my life and where my money should go.
By all means the Tory is the nasty party. And as i keep saying... to deaf ears... i am not a fan of this current tory party.
But to say the only other way to fix societal problems such as Healthcare, Transport, Housing, utilities is by nationalising and giving government control is absurd.
Anyway, it's generally not worth my time discussing the pro's and con's of corbyn with you. (Mostly con's, other than he is a "nice fellow".
