    Don't need money for those things if money doesn't exist. But we do need them so we'd have them.

    Well, you might get be correct about the labelling on products issue. But all the other things are developments introduced by the Labour Party or forced into being by left of centre groups.
    Yes, of course we need businesses to create wealth, employment etc in order to be able to afford good social conditions. But what we now have is extraordinary, unprecedented levels of wealth being kept in the hands of a tiny elite and squirreled away in offshore funds etc. There is plenty enough wealth to create very generous returns to capital and still have decent social conditions and safety nets. But several decades of investment strikes and very low wealth taxation has skewed the balance much too far in favour of the ultra rich. Brexit will make this worse by allowing the right to remove EU employment and environmental protections. And the people like Joe, in Hooch's example, who are turkeys voting for Christmas, will be the hardest hit when the economy tanks and the protections have been stolen by Rees-Mogg, Raab and the other disaster capitalist extremists.

    You don't have to be the actual party in power to influence change.

    In which case all the bits done under Labour governments might not be due to them.

    You do to feck the economy and the country up, Which is what usually Labour end up doing leaving massive debts.

    Also the Trade Unions and Labour have an interest in keeping people poor otherwise they fear they will not be needed, It is in there interest to keep the money pouring in to preserve there own jobs.

    Unfortunately this is how many see the modern Labour Party with regards Corbyn's leadership.

    What was so sad about that video clip is the female Labour MP sat behind was having a go at Ian Austin and trying to defend Corbyn's past.

    Do you not think we as a race should aim for equality? Or are you comfortable with the enormous inequality in the country/world?

    Always has been, always will be. I get the sentiment but back in the real world it just doesn't work.

    Equality like beauty is in the eye of the beholder, A guy/Woman invents something that will save millions of lives round the world, He/She becomes fabulously wealthy and the people who would have died now have a life and a chance to prosper the world, Its a fair trade off as far as equality is concerned, Unless that is your idea off equality is that everyone has nothing and equally destitute and poor with an equal chance of dying through disease and starvation
