Similar to the likes of Owen Jones. They focus on the easy issues which they do a really good job with. But as soon as something comes along that threatens to disrupt the status quo then, by their deeds shall you know them.

Novara has publicly disgraced itself on multiple occasions. You can find plenty of dunkings of their credentials.

Ash friends with Zionists, Bastini heavily involved in the Corbyn character assassination.

Even from today.

Spread the good word. Everyone I tell is blown away and comes back to me later to thank me.

It’s just really handy for correcting autocorrect typos.

The only time I see this term being used it when Trotskyists run out of road and have nothing else to say. Then they apply it incorrectly as a mindless slur. I don’t see it applying to the Inside China Business guy. I don’t know what you call him, a religious nut? A right winger?

A couple of things come to mind with this. Firstly, this reshoring has required a colossal subvention by the state. The money printer can currently go brr all day long, but if every reshoring that was needed required such intervention then this would not be feasible, especially considering the balancing act that’s currently needed to counter inflation. Dedollarisation that’s continuing apace further threatens this model. Already we have Trump recently threatening states that plan to trade in non-dollar currencies.

The reason for the deindustrialisation in the first place has not gone away. The inevitable march towards the export of finance capital being of primary importance to the imperialist state will continue. This seems to be a panicky flagship example. Root causes have not been addressed, and won’t be.

But at the same time I do take your point that we’re probably overstating the situation. I hope not by much.
