Climb the shakey tree of the free market economy/capitalism?
A tree which is
STUNTED
GNARLED, with WHORLS of mass incompetence and greed; which aspires upwards, but is constantly battered and buffeted by its own volatile winds.
There was a tree in my front garden; it leant at 45%; it became unsafe. It was cut down to a STUMP. The tree was bringing itself down under its own weight; just as capitalism collapses under the burden of a quick buck, a quick fix, money above people, and a failure to invest in its own base and superstructure (roots and trunk and branches).

Can we plant the seed of a NEW tree?
The only (realistically achievable) alternative-in the UK- is Corbynomics. If it is given a chance to be planted, will that tree grow and stay upright, will it sway a bit in the breeze; or, will it collapse in a different way(as the economic panic doomsayers so confidently – and sometimes disingenuously-predict in their “it is a watered down version of a Soviet command economy dead ideology, or-less severe- a “harking Back”,( a sort of ostalgie for Callaghan’s failing last fling of NON neoliberal economics{ridden with Trade Union barrons bringing Socialism into disrepute and ruin through their greedy, self-focussed demands; no burial of the dead, no rubbish collection; I lived through that}?

Let us see… I will HELP plant that unknown new seed; and hope, with all my heart, it shall grow into a big, strong, straight, upwards-thrusting(!) new tree, that works for all, with branches of infrastructure re-building, equality,social justice and more rights for minorities. Trees take aeons to grow; but we shall have to be patient and see if Jeremy can make a start… This OLD tree is defunct; it has leant TOO far. Let us have a new spring.
