"represents the past" Archived Message

What's wrong with representing the past? This thinking presumes to know the future as if predictable forces are moulding predictable outcomes - - globalism, global markets, global "competition", federated global political structures. Of course all of this is far from an objective analysis but is in fact an assertion of modern neoliberal dogma, bound up with: the goodness and inevitability of technological "progress", the "progressiveness" of "multicultural communities", although the former is patent nonsense and the latter communities are rare and exist only insofar as they give up some "culture", that is, homogonise. You may be right about the economic cataclysm approaching post-(putative)Brexit. The only thing that will save communities under severe strain is the sense of cohesiveness, loyalty and willingness to sacrifice that, I think, you're perhaps saying they should abandon on favour of modern "realities".
