It is funny, the only real world examples of people "going Galt" are actually working-class general strikes and the like.

We need one or more proper political forces that will do so in the Parliament of the United Kingdom.<br /><br />For example, a parliamentary force for the provincial, rural, protectionist, church-based, conservative, mind-our-own-business Toryism set free by electoral reform from tendencies variously metropolitan, urban, capitalist, secular, libertarian and make-the-world-anew.<br /><br />Or a parliamentary force with the deep Radical Liberal, Tory populist, trade union, co-operative, Christian Socialist, Social Catholic and Distributist, and other roots of the Labour Movement, rejecting cultural Marxism no less comprehensively than it rejects economic Marxism, and vice versa.<br /><br />Among others? Possibly, even probably. But these would and should be the big two. Where are they? Roll on electoral reform.David Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06839882674758833524noreply@blogger.com
