You echo a lot of my thoughts, and remind me of my own arguments with eu-enthusiasts over the years - i agree that the eu never stopped us doing all our neoliberalism; it was more like us pushing them to get as neoliberal as us (which was arguably our function in there at the us behest), though pushing at an open door in the end, and so we're not needed for that anymore. I'm not pro eu, i'm just not pro the no-deal brexit establishment types who seem poised to benefit from a crash out at this moment either, and i find it hard to imagine how their victory will transfer to any lexit principles in the near/medium term. I'm just reading the runes on where things are going and as i've said before i don't think the eu in/out is necessarily the most important factor - i don't want this tiny glimmer of socialism for all its faults to die on the hill of brexit (like tom watson seems to be after) - i think corbyn's position of a ref with a better brexit deal is a fair compromise - if leave wins, as i suspect they would, a softer brexit (but still a brexit/exit from single market) should be a fair compromise for the size of the majority. I hope i'm wrong and we have the 'disater' without the disaster capitalism (or the disaster doesn't happen), and it turns out to be the birth of something better - but i just can't wish it on - maybe that makes me lacking in vision, but first i must tie up my camel.
