Would you drive less, if it was inconvenient to you but for the greater good of society? If the decision would be really up to you.

Don‘t forget the hostile environment policy and how many people‘s lives it immediately ruined.
You don‘t seem to understand that the concept you are thinking of was the status quo and has failed.
It‘s pretty disgusting how dumb they think the public is. On the other hand reading the responses of the public to this lie…they might be on to something.
A democratic state allows its citizens to pursue their private interests. This is only possible though if this is happening in a legal framework, so that the private interests of one citizen don‘t infringe upon the ones of another. The outcome of this consideration then is the abstraction (the specific applied to the universal) of the free will of the citizens. We call it freedom and justice. Others call it the free market.
that‘s a bunch of false equivalences
At first you got to have a good analysis of how society and the economy works. Unfortunately this already is a tricky thing, because not everybody agrees.
yes, I also don‘t believe in the nation‘s interest, yet it somehow pretty brutally exists. Something‘s got to grow, somethings got to give.
I think you are on the right track with your ideals of the world, but I also guess you kinda know that this is not how states operate. Of course there are different types of states, but if you think of democracies, they are also not service providers to their citizens. On the contrary. Democratic states are the abstraction of all the private interests of their citizens. This is what they protect and advance. What arises out of that is that occasionally these interests will suggest a war is what the nation desires.
have you got some examples?
where do you see the extreme Left manifest itself in British politics?
24h before the election they will admit they actually are the Tories

Yes, and this disgusting policy is happening everywhere right now, because there are no answers by the establishment to the problems we face. The ones claiming to be anti establishment on the other hand are just another faction of the establishment albeit with a grotesque fascist outlook.
isn’t that also the result of the libertarian ideology of a minimal state?
Ah, of course that changes everything. Throw the old men in jail
Interesting! It‘s the opposite with me, I am not a native English speaker, and I actually didn‘t understand blood-shod. They limp and have blood in their shoes? The pictures that came to my mind reminded me of the Borchert poem. It felt like the adequate reply. I love it for the explicit message: Sag Nein! The horror at its end I find just as horrifying as the Owen poem. Back to back, and we have snapshots of the horrors of WWI, WWII and WWIII.
Great non-ideological analysis.
