USA: Watch The farms

 So, Biden has become President of the USA. Make no mistake this is an old-style Presidency, with the corporations once again asserting dominance.

Trump was a disruptor, a circuit breaker, an aberration amongst a litany of corporate frontmen.

Biden is a step further along the road to corporate authoritarianism.  It's well known the corporations want control of farming. the last big push in that direction was the GM crop fight. Corporations selling modified seed to farms that locked them into contracts and prevented them from growing out their own seed.

Now with a leftist leaning President in charge and an even further left Vice President, I'm convinced the corporations, backed by the Government will go after the farms of the USA directly. It's happened in every newly-far-left "Socialist" country, because the farms are free, they are not reliant on the state. From Zimbabwe, to South Africa, to Venezuela. The farms are a target for the state (Government and Corporations combined) . 

The farms of the last bastion of freedom, of self-sufficiency. They cannot be bent to the state's will easily. 

When the state tries to control the farms, then you will know the measure of the Biden administration, the nature of the corporatist state the Biden Presidency may have unleashed.

Not just in the USA, it seems members of the global elites are buying up farms globally. To what ends? 

I'm sure the like of Bill Gates thinks they are modernising third world farming to help the world, but all it does is hand agriculture over to the big corporations and their global controls. Converting smallholdings into huge mega-farms, using corporate fertilisers, corporate GMO seeds, creating huge profits and controlling (ergo increasing) food costs around the world.

Back to Brexit

I'm sure that most people that watch the Brexit debates have seen Remainers call Leave voters "Bigots", "Little Englanders", "Racists"...

But there seems to be no similar epithet coming from The Leave side about remainers other than "Remainiacs" (rolls off the tongue doesn't it?). But Remainiac doesn't really infer anything, like bigot or racist does. They really are nasty terms to "otherise" the Brexit majority.

However, I think I've come up with a suitable epithet for Remainers and especially the ones that vehemently support the UK staying in the EU and defying the democratic vote.

I mean, it's not like there's an opposition EU we can vote for instead of the current mob. It's effectively a one-party state.

In fact the urban dictionary entry for the word is right on the button:

"all within it must conform to the ruling body, often a dictator"

"Any type of questioning the government is not to be tolerated. If you do not see things our way, you are wrong"

"The country must grow and the implied goal of any ****** nation is to rule the world, and have every human submit to the government." In this case substitute country and government for comission."

The word they're describing?  Fascist.

How else could you describe someone that seeks to ignore a democratic vote?

How else could you describe someone that seeks to tie us to an anti-democratic organisation?

How else could you describe someone that supports big corporations?

The only anti-democratic, corporatist organisations were Fascists.

So the cap does fit....

Yeah, Fascist.
