The Guardian and capitalism Archived Message Posted by margo on April 26, 2019, 11:03 am Given The Guardian's drive against Corbyn and his so-called "socialist" ideas, it seems strange that the establishment Guardian has recently gone rather radical, calling for the end of capitalism, etc. What future does The Guardian propose? Which kind of government do they propose undertakes this radical re-think? Expressing such radical thinking, why haven't they been more supportive of Corbyn's out-of-the-box thinking or of Assange/Wikileaks which offers the kind of scrutiny required for the radical overview and re-think proposed here by leading Guardian writers? There appears to be a disconnect, here, that's difficult to put a finger on?
