We continue the countdown of the ten best videos of 2011 with Owen Jones versus the public sector strikers.
Join Left Foot Forward as we look over the year that was, and count down our ten favourite videos of 2011…
When the public sector went on strike on November 30th, only one man could counter the fear, uncertainty, and doubt spread by the right-wing press: Owen Jones. He bloody loves socialism, and headed down to show solidarity.
Unfortunately, on the way there he read the Daily Mail, and took a turn for the worse:

As for me, I don’t like socialism much. I would say socialism takes care of the poor, but a properly executed free-market will have enough wealth to go around that everyone prospers. But, the problem is we don’t have a true free-market… Socialism preaches equality, but invades freedom. And capitalism preaches freedom, but ignores equality (at least to a smaller degree in recent decades.)
