You may well be right, Gurny, but the young will just have to learn from their own experiences when socialism crashes as it always has and always will.
What you’re failing to understand, because your ideology doesn’t allow you to see beyond the end of your nose, is that the current economic problems are down to crazy energy prices; and the idea that renewables are “cheap” is pie in the sky. Tbh, the last thing Labour really needs right now is an election. Of course Labour would win, there’s little doubt about that, and of course they’d blame the economic problems faced by the country on the Tories. That might get them through a year or so but I can assure you that Starmer’s drive for net zero by 2030 is going to put a trillion pound hole in the deficit, let alone a few billion. I’m sure you won’t agree, which is fine by me.
What the left can’t accept is that you have to generate wealth to pay for health, education, defence and everything else needed by modern society; and without the people to create that wealth in the first place your workers aren’t going to have work and the state isn’t going to have the money it needs to do what it needs to do.
Truss could see this but there’s no question she screwed up while the party, in its wisdom, failed to back her. It’s a massive opportunity missed and Truss has to take responsibility for it, but be in no doubt that history will prove that what she wanted to do was right even if the implementation was atrocious.
