An outstanding piece, as ever – arguably the most depressing thing about the Brandinterview is that millions seem to lap up economic illiteracy and profound historical ignorance, and even more so when it’s preached by a so-called ‘celebrity’. The irony for me is that I highly doubt Brand would have been able to function in the former Soviet bloc for 2 minutes without being ‘disappeared’ in rather short order, but I wouldn’t expect someone so morally degenerate to have even the slightest grasp on reality
