      *Thread* I voted remain in 2016 and I was hugely disappointed by the result at first, seeing it as a victory for the right. But soon the cheap, condecending, and outright idiotic comments from remainers started rolling in and have continued ever since. They've changed my mind.

      Straight away both students and lecturers at uni started asking me how the people of Merthyr, the Valleys and most of South Wales could be stupid enough to vote leave when we receive so much EU investment. This reflects their tone: https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/uk-news/2016/jun/25/view-wales-town-showered-eu-cash-votes-leave-ebbw-vale …

      Merthyr's people aren't stupid. We can see that most EU funding has been pissed away on cosmetic changes while industry continues to decline and our communities rot under austerity

      and we're smart enough to know that the kind of politics that the EU practices - technocracy, free market fundamentalism and gutless centrism - is part of what created this shitshow in the first place.

          These are people who, for the most part, never protested against austerity, yet have developed a religious dedication to the EU, led by (of all people) Alistair Campbell, Mandelson, Blair, A.C. Grayling and other irrelevant New Labour/LibDem has-beens with nothing better to do.

          The prominence of these types in leadership positions and the overall affluence of those who make up the #StopBrexit/people's vote campaign personifies how the 'remain and reform' argument - pushed by far too many on the left - is bullshit.

          The EU can never further the interests of Europe's working class, that's not what it was built for and that's not what its deeply undemocratic structures will allow. It's a Thatcherite clubhouse that only ever serves capital and benefits elites. We should've learnt from Greece.

          It also can't be held up as a bastion of freedom of movement, migrants' rights or internationalism when it fortifies its borders so heavily at the Mediterranean and elsewhere. It's free movement for white people only.

          I used to think that the call for #Lexit was utopian and detached from everyday life. In reality, those who bang on about reforming this anti-democratic, overbearing leviathan from the inside are the real utopians.

          I oppose the call for a second referendum on a number of grounds - as a democrat who respects the result, as an anti-fascist who doesn't want to see a resurgence of the far-right, and as someone who doesn't want to see that kind of tension in my community again.

          But if there is a second ref, not only would I vote to leave this time, I'd give my time to a left campaign for leave - the kind of campaign that's needed to take the limelight off the reactionaries who've piggybacked on popular anti-EU sentiment.

          We need a left that's confident enough to express our principles honestly, that fights to implement them and takes opportunities as they come, not one that expends our energy desperately defending pseudo-progressive (ie neoliberal) scraps, as if these are the best we can do.

          That kind of confidence and ambition, drawn from the knowledge that we represent the interests of our class, is how the left can win a socialist government and a Brexit that benefits workers.

          Free market "fundamentalism". Any old nonsense. Why not. Brexit is a right wing project promoting, among other things, free market fundamentalism.

          You make a good argument, so what’s the viable alternative to carefully regulated free markets (is that gutless centrism?), that won’t be an economic disaster for the UK, to pile on top of the economic dip that Brexit is going to bring? Where has anything else really worked?

          Tell that to most of Western Europe. I believe their nationalised industries are buying our privatised ones.

          Free market fundamentalism...yet one of the arguments is that the EU has trio much beaurocracy, too many standards to comply with...free market fundamentalism is the opposite of that it’s remove standards and ‘let the market decide’, so the EU isn’t fundamentalist
