Brian Cox interview: ‘I look at the current Labour Party and I see antiquated socialism, so out of touch’

Few dead horses have been more flogged, but if you stretch your mind back enough, it is possible to remember a series with a fantastic premise that kept us guessing for 12 whole episodes. The question: had returning war hero Sgt Brody been radicalised in a foreign jail cell? CIA officer Carrie Mathison thought so, but she had plenty of problems of her own. I still think it would have been better if he'd detonated at the denouement. Twisty, compelling, briefly essential.

Are you doing series 3 of succession Beyond that I couldn't give a brass shite what you think.

why are we listening to him? what's this for?

Matters not, we’re not by population socialist, we’re centrist in the UK. There won’t be a socialist government this century in the UK

Okay boomer!

Labour and their supporters STILL cannot accept the defeat, it is everyone else's fault not theirs. They blame the people that they have vilified, for not voting for them. Corbynism is a cult, that must be extiguished...

Frankly, no one cares what you think politically, talk about planets, you’re good at that 👍

And where do you see capitalism? We live in the era of the financial socialism. Where do you see free markets? Prices are fixed by future contracts, cartels and complex networks of insiders. Banks are too big to fail, and government hands have become bigger than the market itself

Brilliant in SuccessionHBO not sure how he rates as a political commentator

All socialism is garbage.

I'd argue capitalism is pretty out of touch, considering it's a system that allows people to fucking starve to death. Maybe don't play the name game on ideas.

Oh look, it’s tiny Cox.

This quote is seriously out of context.

Really! Recent events have taught... words from the famous, wealthy, journos, politicians (some), are no more than 'tales, told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing' Better to listen to my own, inner voice In this way, I do most deeply vow, to train myself

Sadly you are. But feel free to NEVER use the NHS again

It's not Corbyn's socialism that's antiquated, it's the fascism, narcissism and bigotry of the deplorables that're intensified.

TheDemocrats BE WARNED! This is what happens when u let far-left lunatics like AOC IlhanOmar & thesquad be the voice of your party! The best thing NancyPelosi can do for 2020 is expel thesquad from the party. Or AT LEAST publicly go after them. OR U WILL LOSE!

That’s his opinion, same with allot of others but I’ve yet to see the rights grand plan to deal with poverty, austerity and climate change. When we see that we can make a fair comparison.

Fun Fact: ALL socialism is antiquated and out of touch. People want freedom, not a cradle-to-grave nanny state.💁🏼‍♂️

its not out dated socialism its clearly hard marxism -rob rich and give to benefits seekers who are on benefits for decades and not even try to get job-but money of rich ends very fast

Labour Party needs to do away with 'Old School Socialism', current economic systems require minimum government involvement in pursuit of household economic liberty

Nothing antiquated about socialism to stop a country from grinding the poor, I'll and disabled into the ground. Or is Centrism the supra dupe answer to their bills. Stupid article

Otherwise Labour wont be back.

Meant the upper middle class family with one child didnt have more respect and consideration then the poor working class family with four children. With proof.

100% agree.....Labour has lost its way!!....no longer the party of the working classes!!...and the blame lays clearly with Corbyn!!..and Abbott!!...they will never recover!!..and Corbyn should resign NOW!!..not when it suits him!!...he is claiming wages for nothing!!😡👎

There were two opposites: extremist capitalism payed for by British tax payers and extremist socialism where parents couldnt afford to feed their children. Reduction of the influence of the Monarchy and Church of England currently promoting marriages for the elite.

I don't. Who else doesn't?

Another candidate that been to the sun et al university course for delusion.

Zzzzzzzho Jeremy ho ho☹️💋

No it is exactly what the Labour party was set up to be different and radical not supplicant, if being out of touch is not accepting the Neo liberal status quo and having to accept our place in society because of where we were born and who we were born to then I am all for it

Soooo....the garbage Conservative party is ok then?

LOL, 'antiquated socialism', try extremist communism

Mariebe10098426 There's some other type of socialism?

That is only if you believe that way we had unde

Ok Boomer.

Yes absolutely! ANYONE who thinks that re-nationalisation is a good thing is either too young or an idiot to even suggest such a thing. There ARE alternatives you know!

I agree about the leadership but, strangely, there was nothing antiquated about the manifesto.

Mr. Cox is right. In fact, the whole post World War 2 settlement has come to an end. It's as if the War did not happen and we are back to the 1930s.

OkBoomer

Socialism is not a fashion, it is an alternative system to capitalism which indeed both have the same age. Please don't pay attention to random people who aren't interested in improve the living conditions of the working class.

Not the whole party at all but yes it is in the grip of a group with a simple narrative With good and bad guys & a lense through which everything is judged In that way life is simple It’s not different to all hard ideologies in that respect: easy to believe, impossible to debate

My father who was labour all his life, voted tory. I was astounded when he told me. Sums up the marxist party quite nicely.

👍🏻

Overnight conversion, from 'Hail Corbyn' to antiquated Labour trash, all within 24 hours.

Old people (like him) didn't vote Labour. Young people overwhelmingly did. Define 'out of touch'?

Socialism?
