Noam Chomsky on Privatisation

Thatcherism enabled the Tory governments from 1979-1997 to sell off the majority of our public assets. 

That’s the standard technique of privatisation: defund, make sure things don’t work, people get angry, you hand it over to private capital.

Noam Chomsky
In what could only be described as state robbery, a transference of public assets to private hands, we witnessed every public industry undergo the set neoliberal pattern of ‘LPG’,  Liberalization, Privatization, and Globalization. 

Or as Noam Chomsky stated:

“That’s the standard technique of privatisation, defund, make sure things don’t work, people get angry, you hand it over to private capital.”

Currently, the NHS is being given away and the cost of rail travel soars, part of a meticulously planned ideological assault on the fabric of British society under Tory rule, who want to defund, demoralise, then privatise.

The end result being that the wealth of our nation is left in the hands of a few, this is not a good thing. Let’s not mistake it, the government is focused on privatising public sector entities, managing them with a view not to revive them, but to prepare a case for their privatisation. Policies designed to extract wealth from the poor and weak at the bottom and transfer it to the already fat cats at the top of the rotten heap.

Let’s hope there is a return soon to days when people mattered more than profits. If this makes you angry reshare and continue to fight against it, we must take back control of all our essential services. 
"Privatization does not mean you take a public institution and give it to some nice person, it means you take a public institution and give it to an unaccountable tyranny." –Noam Chomsky.
