I have been reading widely on this. I am struck by how the agreement May signed can mean so many things to so many different people. I am reminded first of all of this exchange *When I use a word,' Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, 'it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.' * *'The question is,' said Alice, 'whether you can make words mean so many different things.' * * 'The question is,' said Humpty Dumpty, 'which is to be master — that's all.e* The Ulster DUP tried to reassure its followers that it had won, but did admit that they asked May not to sign. Their enemy, Ireland's Taoiseach, said the agreement was 'bullet proof.' That was an unfortunate choice of metaphors IMHO. Initially the right in the UK hailed the agreement but now seem to be reading the fine print and sidling away from May. So what happened? My guess and it is just that a guess, is that some section of capital went to May and told her to get an agreement at whatever cost. No agreement would have been catastrophic for the British economy probably. But the day of reckoning has just been postponed that is all. May gets to keep her wretched coalition alive and her job with it. Corbyn is kept at bay. So all this is short term bullshit that does not construct hegemony. around Brexit. All in all 'the signs of decomposition' that Marx talked about become ever clearer. No wonder the Rapture Hysterics wanted Jerusalem. They may be weird and crazy but they can sense "End Times", comrades, "End Times". comradely Gary _________________________________________________________ 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
