#Grime4Corbyn: Socialist Good Intentions Part 1

3 years ago

As I was requested to cover my thoughts on Grime4Corbyn I had to do a wee bit of research. The grime music artists showed their support for Jeremy Corbyn. Although Corbyn is no longer the Labour Party leader, I feel this is still prevalent as the support for these policies have not died away, it's merely just a different Labour Party leader.

My response on this is merely a critique on the support for Corbyn as I have already covered extensively the arguments against socialism in other videos. I could have gone into such things of how raising tax rates or how the governments regulation is damaging to the economy, but I feel other content I've done explains enough of this.

What you do gather from this is what goes on in the minds of the socialist sympathisers. You can see that from the arguments made for supporting Corbyn is really all about how they feel, the image of Corbyn rather than any information. It almost seems as if the policies he proposed was just in good faith and again, as I touched upon, it's because a lot of people sadly do not understand economics.

I must reiterate that I can sympathise with a lot of these young ones who are concerned about the costs of education, housing, etc, these are genuine problems, but they don't understand that capitalism is the solution to the problem, not the cause of the problem. The fact these people think socialism is somehow going to solve their problems is a big problem in of itself given the fact it was socialism that led us into this mess to begin with through all the state intervention in the economy.

Everything is faith based and socialists are unfortunately driven by emotion, it's all about beliefs, hope and feeling, rather than the content of information being spoken.
