What John doesn't understand...and is in denial about...is the E.U. itself as if it represents something "better" for the working class in Britain or any of the member states of the E.U. The fact that it is precisely the E.U. and all the fiscal agreements for the past 25 years that is THE tool by which austerity is argued for, predicated on and deployed. As I pointed out when we had a public debate on this last year in Berkeley to oppose Brexit meant support for this Imperialist institution. John appears to see the E.U. as nothing more than free-immigration statute and...a victory of...what? Working class internationalism? There is zero analysis of the role the E.U. plays in the European wide undermining of labor codes, privatization and austerity. He is completely blind side by the very real anti-immigrant perspective of many working class voters. But he knows as well that the vote itself was far more complicated than that.
