Alan, take a look at communist ideals, and then compare them to the rubbish that you spout, and you will find them very similar. Apart from the fact that you actually want a class system as far as transport goes, where the rich fly first class, but the poor have to hitch hike.
I stand up for the rignts of workers, and I am a trade unionist. And one thing the unions certainly don't need is idiots who try to attach themselves to them, and actually discredit the unions with their loony left rantings, and support for violence. I mean who is going to support any union that is forced to take industrial action, when there is and idiot making out that he represents the union, but is so millitant that they can't see common sense or compromise?
To be honest what you say sounds more like immature ramblings, with snippets taken from various people who you admire. But you don't even realise yourself that many of the things that you come out with actually contradict each other.

Radical reform in one place often causes problems in another. What is needed is gradual reform considering all the implications.
The biggest change needed, that will help the economy, and create employment, would be for those in power to stop acting for the good of themselves and their friends, and to act for the good of the whole country.
If the corruption in contracts for local and national government was sorted out, then that alone would save billions for the economy. But their would also be many corrupt people in power who would lose their jobs, and possibly be prosecuted. So the cover up will probably continue.
