Checking Out The Anti-Supermarket Lobby
Last week's spiked article on criticising the anti-Tesco lobby seems to have upset a few people. In particular, the revelation that the Nazi Party introduced legislation to curb the growth of chainstores in favour of petitbourgeois traders. The point I was making here was NOT to suggest that the anti-supermarket lobby are goosesteppers in-waiting; rather simply to show that the type of 'anti-capitalism' favoured by the middle-classes is deeply reactionary. Unfortunately, many on the left now accept that PB complaints against growth, progress and modernity are somehow insightful and radical. The Socialism of Fools, it seems, knows no bounds.
