[Henry Gallimore]

Hello fellow members of this politically charged forum!


I'm new around town and I identify myself with liberal attitudes towards others with socialist ideals in how our economy and governments should function. I'd also sure like to spend a little time with Noam Chomsky if you know what I mean

Just joking guys but I do praise him.

Anyway I'm here to learn more about socialism/anarcho-syndicalism as a viable economic model as I think power should be spread to the many rather than being centralized to the few.

I've recently created a character called Henry Gallimore on YouTube who portrays a successful business person with an array of unorthodox and brutal methods to succeeding in business. As he is a new character and I am looking to expand him, I'd appreciate people's advise on what you think are the main business exploits and issues within a neo-liberal economy.


If you are interested in seeing what Henry so far has to offer, then please step into my office here and sample one of the three videos I have already uploaded.

Many thanks for all future advice, recommendations, critics and roasts (Serve it with the onion gravy please)

I'm new around town and I'd consider myself a liberal/socialist

Interesting considering they are mutually exclusive. Anyway welcome to the forum.

[Henry Gallimore]

Fair point. I consider myself liberal in social acceptance and opinion. I consider myself socialist in how I think the economy and governments should function.

Welcome to the forum, Henry. What are your thoughts on Stalin, a deeply misunderstood leader who liberated Europe from fascism, created humane work camps throughout Siberia to teach people new job skills, and fought hard to weed out traitors from within with universally-recognized fair and impartial trials?

I'm sure he means socially permissive rather than classical liberalism or neoliberalism, my upturned-pinky tea-drinking frand.

[Henry Gallimore]

I don't know much about Stalin other than he industrialized Russia pretty quickly and was for communism. I really couldn't comment my opinion without doing my research. Feel free to give me some quick pointers on him though

They he is using the term as it is used in America, wrongly! There is British English and then there are mistakes!

He was the greatest hero the working class ever had. He saved the whole of Europe from fascism with his genius and his hard work during the Great Patriotic War. What modem politicians do you like (if any)?

[Henry Gallimore]

Get ready to clench your anal at this common answer: Jeremy Corbyn. Yeah he's technically a social-democratic but he's my favorite of the popular bunch, without him Labour would still be an austerity party.

[Decky]

without him Labour would still be an austerity party.

As far as I am concerned it still is. 90% of the MPs and councilors are closer to Theresa May than they are to Jeremy Corbyn and the same is true for party employees. The membership are left wing true but the same was true under Blair it didn't translate to Labour operating as a left wing party.

[Henry Gallimore]

Yeah I'd agree with that, but still Jezzy boy has a decent amount of public support. Obviously he gets a lot of right wing media criticism but that's a given. Yeah, most Labour MPs don't want Jezza's around but of course they wouldn't, the blood of corporate left-middle Blair runs deep in their vains.
