Lenin, of course, only duped the workers for a relatively short period. Then, shortly after he took power, he stopped bothering, and simply exploited them, repressed them, silenced them, jailed them and killed them.
"The Labour Party is a thoroughly bourgeois party, because, although made up of workers, it is led by reactionaries [...] who act quite in the spirit of the bourgeoisie. It is an organisation of the bourgeoisie, which exists to systematically dupe the workers." – Vladimir Lenin

Not really. Hyperinflation in Germany ended in 1923. In the May 1924 elections, the Nazis (via a surrogate) secured ~ 6% of the vote. In a second election that year (Dec) their share fell to 3%, and it fell still further in 1928 after 3-4 *relatively* prosperous years. (1)

👇 The war against 'traditional' cars, will which will (in time) become a war against EVs, is a war against mobility, and thus against freedom. Net zero is an ideology of constraint, coercion and control.
6 miles is only a few minutes away because we have cars. For most of human history, 6 miles took forever.

Taking the trouble to go to the polling station to spoil your ballot paper is not 'disengagement' with the political process, but a very clear expression of discontent with the choices on offer. That's very different.
In Basildon alone there were 800 spoiled ballot papers. It was 200 in Immingham, Lincolnshire, with councillor David Watson saying: 'That is a phenomenal amount. The residents have disengaged with the political process.'
Wonder how many nationwide?😏

It's not. Villages (including urban villages) grew organically. The 15-minute city is a top-down project.
Another term for a “15-minute city” is a village: a small collection of housing with essential/desirable amenities (pub, shop, GP) nearby.
Government policy seems to be that villages are woke now.
