How I loathe the ruling class…
The entire West is run by effete arseholes. These are the worst people in the world. Everything they touch turns to shit. They are the product of immense privilege, of gigantic wealth, of connections to the sources of power that are forever beyond the reach of working people.
But, thanks to the ruling class ideology of identity politics, they can claim some kind of spurious victimhood based on their gender, their sexual partners, their skin colour or the fact that they like dressing up in clothes usually associated with the opposite sex. Utter cockwombles.
I’ve often heard identity politics described as left-wing or even, laughably, as Marxist. It is neither. Identity politics is the ideology/religion that complements the ruling class’ favourite economic policy – neoliberalism.
For nearly fifty years now, the West has been brutalised by this misanthropic economic system. Despite promises to the contrary, wealth has not so much ‘trickled down’ but ‘gushed up.’ The obscene wealth of the few (and the crumbs they allow their running dogs in the media, universities and arts) is in stark contrast to ordinary people’s struggle to afford a decent standard of living.
I have sometimes , tongue-in-cheek, described myself, here and elsewhere, as a Leninist. I do not mean that I want to recreate the nightmarish system that developed in Russia after 1917.
What I do want is to utterly destroy the system created by the smug bastards who rule us. I was a supporter of neither Brexit nor Trump but the unhinged reaction to both these elections in 2016 shows that the ruling class simply cannot tolerate anyone challenging their insane lust for power and wealth.
I utterly despise these smug, patrician, undemocratic fucks who have wrecked, and continue to wreck, the lives of real people. Their system cannot be reformed. It can only be ended.

Neoliberalism is turnng into Neo-feudalism.
Some parallels, courtesy of economist Joel Kotkin;
Oligarch class = Aristocracy
Managerial class/cultural gatekeepers (politics, media, law, education) = Church
Property owners and skilled tradesmen = Craftsmen/ dwindling middle class
Service workers and everybody else = Serfs/underclass
