True enough to say that Corbyn's defeat was about "Brexit" but then what exactly was Brexit about? The last political issue is immigration and its effect on the bargaining power of native labor. I don't fly to Surrey and scab because I can't, not because I don't want to.
Much of the left thinks it's playing a clever and subtle game with voters when it appeals to their class status and simply doesn't talk about the global equalization of wages. It's not. You want to know why they don't get out there for you? They see you.
They know that the left is divided between people who are ambivalent towards the equalization of wages across all borders and those who would very much like wages to equalize across all borders.
They also know that not a single left figure has the imagination necessary to suggest that this would mean everyone being paid more. If you don't allow them control over the flow of labor within a set border, any other promise you make is empty. You want to cut their wages.
This is an interesting thread. Can you explain what you mean by the “equalization of wages”? Are you talking about, say, a Polish worker distributing a higher relative income in England back to Poland through remittances? Or something else?
Essentially yes. If workers can travel freely between locations then there's no geographic element to bargaining power, every worker gets the same wage. This is good, if you believe that white people are paid off with an illicit share of the wages of black and brown people
