Trotskyoid Dreams Come True

Nationalisation without compensation or go bankrupt. And the choice is not for the banks to make but decided by the state.

And all the funding, and supporting, and bailing out and nationalising isn't stopping a thing; just slowing it down slightly while devaluing and destabilising liberal, individualist capitalism. and democracy.
