The Past and The Future

History and the future

My friend, Alphée Michaud, points out that the Normans and the Anglo-Saxons are war-loving bullies (I paraphrase: I hope he doesn't mind).

So I offered the following history:

We, the indiginous English, were left, still here: as before their arrival, when the Romans left, about 500AD.

Quickly, the various Angles, Saxons and Jutes arrived from eastern Denmark, as now is.

Then the other Northmen, The Normans, took over, five hundred years' later in 1066AD.

Then the usurers took over, five hundred years' later, in 1545.

All through this, there were indiginous people in England who did the work.

Not the fighting.

Though we did try fighting in the 1640's ('The English Civil War') but quickly realised that war, violence, revolution simply replaces one set of bosses for another.

So, by 1918, we'd managed to get the other route, the vote ('the ballot box, not the bomb'), more-or-less completed (the poorer women had to wait another ten years: to allow the bully women to take control of 'womens' politics').

But, of course, the danger for the bosses was that we, the indiginous English, along with the poorer immigrants, would vote capitalism into oblivion.

So, in 1974, the bosses worked out that if they made voting pointless (by imposing the EU on us) then we'd be put back in our place: which is what Thatcher, Blair and Cameron&Clegg did: all capitalist-funded.

So, now, here we are: we the indiginous English, telling the capitalists' bullies (the Tories, Fibs, New Labour and the Nationalists) that we don't want to be ruled by capitalism in Europe.

Next, we will tell them that we don't want to be ruled by capitalism here, either.

Hence our plan for no-bosses: the living plan for Co-operative Socialism.

Thus: Year 0 the romans arrived, 500 years later they left and the Angles, Saxons and Jutes arrived, then 500 years later the Normans arrived, then 500 years later the usurers took over, then 500 years' later (ie now) we'll have got rid of all of them.

By implementing the no-bosses, living plan for Co-operative Socialism!

Quite straightforward, really!
