We can almost certainly conclude that the removal of Boris Johnson from the position of the UK prime minister came as a result of a counter-attack of the liberal globalist faction against the pro-Brexit faction in the capitalist civil war.
And it is almost certain that the utterly grotesque political figure of Liz Truss was a far more easy target for the anti-Brexit liberal capitalists. It took them only 45 days to overthrow her, making her the shortest serving Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. Liberal capitalists proved that Truss-type politicians are a 'piece of cake' for them, especially when they decide to mobilize the global markets and their agents inside the Tories.
As George Monbiot reveals, Truss' policies shaped by lobby groups like the Institute of Economic Affairs, the TaxPayers' Alliance and the Adam Smith Institute. It seems that these are some key groups behind BrexitCentral website. And together, they form a network of rightwing thinktanks that heavily promoted Brexit, as well as the most aggressive form of neoliberalism and free market fundamentalism.
We can also assume that the liberal capitalists were pissed off with Truss' outrageously cynical manner through which she openly attempted to promote the most brutal form of neoliberalism. While at the same time, she completely ignored the accumulative difficulties that Britons face in their everyday lives. Liberal elites prefer to promote neoliberalism in secrecy to hide the fact that this destructive doctrine is responsible for the rapidly growing inequalities and long-term catastrophic effects for the majority of the societies.
As we wrote back in 2019, despite the capitalist civil war, both major factions of the British capital remain deeply neoliberal in their ideological core. However, it seems that the pro-Brexit faction has adopted a Thatcherian form of neoliberalization, in which the nationalist factor is quite evident. This is necessary in order to attract conservative voters who feel abandoned, or even threatened by the globalist elite.
On the other hand, the faction of the globalized capital has adopted an international form of neoliberalization. It has bought the politicians of the political center which includes representatives of all types of minorities. In this way, the globalized capital attempts to attract the younger and most progressive voters. Of course, there is nothing progressive behind its deeper goal, which is the unlimited global expansion and elimination of all competitors by all means.
It seems that the pro-Brexit capitalist faction attempted to copy the liberal tactics of identity politics by putting first Liz Truss in charge and now Rishi Sunak. And although it is quite doubtful that Sunak will survive for much longer in the position, the fact that he is a hardcore Thatcherite neoliberal too is being kept aside for now by the media. Something tells us that he will eventually become an easy target too, forcing Brexiteers to seek desperately for another Thatcherite zombie, more capable to survive the liberal attacks.
However, the most important in this ugly political scenery, is that it demonstrates, with the most emphatic way, the radical decline of the Western Democracy.
While capitalist factions play their ruthless games, replacing in power their unelected political puppets as they please, people have become irrelevant and completely powerless.
The situation in Britain now is another proof of what we already mentioned: that inside this ruthless capitalist war, people have become almost irrelevant. What only matters for the political puppets is to secure the interests of the capitalist faction they represent. The rampageous bulls of capitalism are fighting each other in an arena in which democracy has now turned into dust under their violent clatters.
