While that specific scenario is unlikely, I do hope that Plaid Cymru and the Scottish National Party succeed in dissolving the UK

The British people really would benefit from all collectively refusing to vote for their mainstream parties and instead voting for independent anarchist parties which try to get rid of as many laws and government institutions and also nationalize anything the people will be better served by, under collective ownership. All it really takes I think is to just talk to people. Tell them to stop voting for those parties and if they can’t resist then to stop watching the news media which fills their minds with anxiety.

Well hopefully they aren’t full of Nazis. Our revolutionary movement in America got hijacked by Trump and the fascists but people are waking up and realizing Trump is a scum bag. Killing innocent people is only one of his crimes.

Once the laws are gone/things are deregulated, the corpos will likely take over. Nationalizing sounds good, but likely won’t end well without regulations, imo.

Nationalism is anticorporate if you do it correctly. Also you can just ban the stock market and the collective ownership of companies and also limit their limited liability and go to a hard, Inflation proof currency to plug up the other holes. Corporations cannot compete with small businesses without lobbying for lower tax rates then the working class and relying on low interest loans to buy assets and brands which artificially boost their value in the speculator markets.

“if you do it correctly” holds a lot of weight to this argument. I’d be worried of anyone who wants to start from scratch, instead of building on the current foundation.
You make good points, though. I’m just more skeptical than you.

That’s not the right direction either. They are both bad, the corporations and the state. Only the people should have power and the people should vote in their own interests and they should not allow states or corporations to operate within their nation unless what they do is squarely in the interests of the people.
