The vote for Brexit was a great victory for all the far-right (but firmly rooted in the ruling class establishment) movements of his sort throughout Europe. Already those forces around Europe are welcoming the outcome and seeing it as an example to be repeated in their own countries, as part of their anti-immigrant agendas which conflict with the free movement principle of the EU. I didn't want to and do not now want to get into a discussion all about the EU, which has many many facets. The sentiment that pushed the vote in the direction it went has to do with xenophobia, hostility to refugees, and hostility to legal migrants "taking our jobs." Trump is part of the same phenomenon on the other side of the Atlantic, and he knows exactly what he's talking about. - Jeff _________________________________________________________ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
