If it is really true that the world has long been under the domination of one system, and that apparently different arrangements such as communism, fascism and “democracy” are really just camouflaged versions of the same thing, then we would expect to find evidence of that.
When we peeled away all the ideological packaging of these set-ups we would logically find inside the same toxic product.
And indeed we do, the most obvious example being the industrialism and “modernisation” that have always been a top priority not just for “capitalists” in the West, but also for “communists” in Russia and China and, of course, for “fascists” in Italy and Germany.
More specific similarities – totally improbable if you are still spellbound by the illusion of competing and contrasting ideologies – were revealed in some recent videos.
It was hardly a surprise that in his first speech to the parliament as prime minister, Andy Burnham, the former Mayor of Manchester, talked of the UK government “driving growth”.
But, when you think about it, this conception of the role of the state is a strange one. Instead of championing the interests of the population it supposedly “represents”, it champions the interests of business and financial concerns whose “growth” really amounts to the extraction of the country’s wealth and the exploitation of its people.
In a fascinating edition of UK Column News on August 31 2026, Ben Rubin looked at the so-called “philosophy” behind Burnham’s Labour Party government, which is being called “Manchesterism” – Iain Davis has also written about this.
Rubin explained that this is all about a merger between the public and private sectors, in which they “become one integrated entity”.
He added that the “left” seems unable to grasp that the socialism and communism that they champion in fact “merge towards monopoly, which is beneficial to Capital. Capital wants monopoly. Capitalism wants monopoly and actually it works very comfortably with authoritarian governments, because it’s a way of bringing wealth and power together into a single structure”.
Rubin’s research has revealed that this Manchesterism has its origins in a 2009 report called the Manchester Independent Economic Review.
This was jointly written by Jim O’Neil of Goldman Sachs, inventor of the term “BRICS” and now Burnham’s economic advisor, and Jonathan Kestenbaum, who went on to head Five Arrows, the Rothschild family’s investment fund, and who sits on the board of the Rothschilds’ Yad Hanadiv in Israel.
Appearing on the programme was Madeleine Hunt, secretary general of the Heritage Party, who experienced life in Poland under the communist tyranny.
She said that what she was seeing unfold in the UK today – public-private merging and corrupt “development” agendas advanced by powerful local mayors – was quite obviously “the same system” that she had endured back then. “When I came here I would never expect I would go through this nightmare again”.
In Poland then, as in the UK today, smaller businesses were gradually gobbled up by bigger investors – “and the bigger investors are directly connected to the authorities, which run everything”.
Moreover, she stressed, in each instance we are looking at “the same global investors”, as indeed is the case across Europe.
She and the UK Column hosts agreed that while the UK might nominally have left the European Union, it was still very much within the same system of public-private entwining, with phoney sovereignty and “decentralisation” hiding ever-increasing corporate centralisation.
More light was shed on the reality behind the EU by the German economist Richard Werner – a banking insider turned whistleblower – in a video entitled “The Dictatorship at the Center of Europe”.
Here he spoke about the European Central Bank (ECB), “the most powerful independent and unaccountable central bank in the world”.
He said: “The ECB is an international organization that is above the law. There is no public prosecutor that can check anything and hold them to account… It’s an international organization that is above even criticism. It can’t be criticized. It can’t be held to account.
“Now, that’s already extremely unusual. Why would anyone want to create such a dictatorial institution with such vast powers?”
Werner then got into the similarities with systems that we have always been told are very different from European “democracy”.
At one point in the video he said the unaccountability of the ECB reminded him of the Reichsbank under the Nazis.
He also remarked: “The central bankers, the ECB people in particular, are very overpaid central planners. They love central planning. So when you look at their writings and their proposals, what they want to do is they want to destroy private banks, commercial banks, local banks, community banks, savings banks, credit unions.
“They want to get rid of them. And that’s what they’ve been doing. Did you know that 6,000 banks have been killed by the ECB? 6,000 banks. And it’s been the small banks, the local banks, the banks that are in the local communities and lend to small firms.
“They’re gone and the trend continues. Now the ECB is trying to introduce its totalitarian control tool called central bank digital currency, CBDC – central bank digital control in the form of the digital euro.
“It wants to now take the business from the banks by opening accounts for the public with the central bank”.
Werner warned that when the next banking crisis occurs, the old system will crash and the switch will be made to CBDC.
“And then we achieve what the central planners really want to do. They want to be the only bank in town. They love the Soviet system. Central planners always admired the Soviet system. There was only one bank, the central bank. That is the goal of the ECB and that’s where we’re heading now…
“The likelihood is something like 90%, 95%. It is being prepared to happen and perhaps I should give a higher figure close to 100% because unfortunately we’ve now reached the stage where the EU has become entirely dictatorial and people that have just simply opinions that differ from the European Commission’s opinions, they get sanctioned…
“The EU is an institution that currently is essentially sanctioning people, punishing people, cancelling their money, cancelling any right to make any transaction, for uttering their opinion…
“Surely the EU is democratic. That’s what most people think. But it’s not. What is the principle of a democracy? How can we recognize very quickly whether a country is a democracy?”
Werner again made the comparison with the Soviet Union, which officially claimed to be a democracy because it had a parliament whose members were chosen in elections.
“The same claim is made in Europe. The European Union says we’re a democracy, we have a parliament – the European Parliament – and it’s true people get elected for this parliament”.
But, of course, the USSR was not actually a democracy because the elected members of parliament were not the law-makers and the parliament was merely a talking shop, “a con”, a rubber-stamping charade.
The real power was the Soviet Politburo – “a small group of communist party people who were not elected. They were the dictators”.
Exactly the same system is used in the EU, he explained. The highly-paid MEPs elected to “represent” European citizens do not actually have the power to pass any laws.
“The laws are drafted, written, proposed and then, of course, pushed through by the European Commission. It is the Soviet system. It is a dictatorship. This is a fact and everyone should know this”.
Werner said the EU is literally modelled on the Soviet Union. Indeed, there is even an obvious linguistic similarity between Soviet “Commissars” and EU “Commissioners” – appointed and unelected officials holding all the real power.
But what is the force behind this communist-style EU dictatorship which pretends to be democratic?
Werner said: “The EU is a CIA construct subjugating Europe to the United States. And that’s the United States deep state”.
The US “deep state” is, of course, merely a part of much bigger entity, the Rothschildian mafia that funded, through their Wall Street fronts, the communist revolution in Russia.
This is why, as Werner discovered, the extremely lengthy bank regulations issued by the EU are originally written, in English, by City of London lawyers in a country that is no longer in the European Union.
Werner says that with all the shady banking deals and business lobbying going on behind the scenes, Brussels is “really a swamp of corruption”.
Of course. The public-private merging, the WEF’s “stakeholder democracy”, the use of the state and all its tax-imposing and law-enforcing powers to advance the interests of a gang of greedy and ruthless profiteers, is nothing but corruption.
And when, as was the case in the USSR and Nazi Germany and also today in the EU and the UK, this goes hand in hand with increasing authoritarianism, we find ourselves under what can only be described as a vast criminal tyranny.
