All types of politics tend to get corrupted. I'm sure the Soviet Union did not turn out how its architects intended. People are imperfect and tend to get greedy. This is why we need to learn from history and watch out for signs of it happening again. Definite signs in the UK of that.

Socialism is a dirty word for some, but it's the best chance of real 'levelling up'. The fact that the UK and other rich countries have so many people struggling to get by and even living on the street shows their policies are not working. It makes me angry, but people will vote for their own interests.

As for transport, we need less dependence on cars as there are far too many of them. Out here in the sticks it can be hard to get around without one, but I hardly ever drive to work thanks to a nearby station.
