Margaret Thatcher never really died because since she left Downing Street, every Prime Minister has just been another Thatcherite neoliberal.
The 2008 crash and COVID has just given them more excuse to continue fucking over the poor, and you would think more people would become radicalised yet all the communist parties are miniscule (some decent ones slowly growing at least) & the closest thing we have to communists getting in power is Jeremy Corbyn and Zack Polanski, and they are typical socialists by name, left liberals in reality.
Without an analgous Soviet pressure from the outside and no domestic leverage yet created within, the material conditions can only produce genocidal Thacherite leaders. Corbyn and his ilk are at best capital's pressure valve for the masses.
