The only way of stopping the banks from crashing the Uk’s economy without bailing them out was to nationalise them. You can bet your life that libertarian would be against that!
“(Which, by the way, hadn’t been feudal for two thousand years)”
Not really? I thought most of the population of China were peasants in 1949. Unless peasants aren’t unique to feudalism?
I read once on the SPGB’s website (though I don’t remember where) that Russia & China needed state-capitalist revolutions. This is because their respective capitalist classes were too weak to take over the State from the feudalists, therefore, they needed a state-bourgeoise to catch up with the West’s advanced level of industrial capitalism.

Labour would win 77% of the seats!
The Conservatives – 9%!
The SNP – 8%
The Liberal Democrats – 3%
