This video shows how the failure of British politics in the 1920s and 1930s caused Oswald Mosley to turn to fascism in the hope of actually providing welfare to the British people.

ABOUT TIK 📝
History isn’t as boring as some people think, and my goal is to get people talking about it. I also want to dispel the myths and distortions that ruin our perception of the past by asking a simple question - “But is this really the case?”. I have a 2:1 Degree in History and a passion for early 20th Century conflicts (mainly WW2). I’m therefore approaching this like I would an academic essay. Lots of sources, quotes, references and so on. Only the truth will do.

I chuckle, but then I dislike it in this setting. Comedy is a great value, but it is the partner force of analysis. They must be joined, but separate, so both can shine jointly. Comedy is by its nature light-hearted, self-depricating, and open-minded. Analysis is close-minded, heavy-hearted and must have a degree of confidence. In a society, comedians show that something is off. Analysts then figure out how it is wrong, and what needs to be done about it. Politicians then judge what can actually be achieved (unfortunately in practice, ensure it isn't). Analysis looks for answers. Comedy looks for questions.

One thing to remember is how few people in Britain had the vote in the 1800s. The Reform Act of 1832 increased the electorate from around 366,000 to 650,000, which was about 18 per cent of the total adult-male population in England and Wales. This added to the electorate small landowners, tenant farmers, shopkeepers, and householders who paid a yearly rental of £10 or more. Not as conservative as the aristocrats and large land owners, but not the working class either. The next expansion was the Reform Act of 1867. It still was based on property qualifications, and the number of adult males eligible to vote was two million. It wasn't until the end of WWI that the least well off working-class males, about 40% of adult males, gained the vote.

@@burnvictim77 The reason it isn't a useful statement is because any party, if it aims to one day be the leaders of the state, has to "restrain the market" and "trample individual rights" because there is no such thing as a free market or rights without a state. It's a paradox originating from nature itself; the market is always restrained by natural forces (geography, time etc) and there's no such thing as a natural right. What the state aims to do (whether successfully or not) is alleviate these natural inevitabilities by organising society in a manner so the forces are distributed more or less equitably, depending on their goals.

Using a name with Foreign connotations was a big mistake. Ditto with calling his protection force "Black shirts". Not sure if his Pro Monarchy leanings helped him win the Working Class support he hoped to get? If he had simple called his Movement "The Nationalist Party" or Something like "The British Peoples Party" he would had a better chance of gaining more support.

Remarkable. I discussed this last night with my son. A good analysis. I also agree the deliberate Left versus Right fog is just that. More so today than in the past, however. It is also remarkable that the new fascism of today (Green-Red-Woke) camouflage is backed financially by many of the same oligarchic/ruling establishment families which backed the old fascism - and indeed also various other wars, Revolutions, fanatical and deranged movements/ideologies and a transfer of more wealth from the working people (lower and middle class) to the ‘Supremacist Clique / Cabal’. Hence, had Mosley existed today, he well have been in the Labour/Lib/Green/Tory party and pushed Oligarchic dystopia under the guise of wanting to do good for the masses (normal people > 99%). Over privilege breeds contempt, mysticism instead of logic / science / progression, sociopathic behaviour and also, unfortunately, psychopathic trends. History clearly shows us this clearly. Indeed recent history shows us this. Here in Germany, 70 % have learned nothing from recent history and de facto fascism in imperial, National Socialist and now US/WEF-UN/EU type.

I grew up on a family farm. To be frank, though we did not starve, we were always poor. The farm was...well...shitty. Literally. Cows, chicken, pigs, ducks, etc all shitting everywhere all the time. The water came from a well that was under the land the shit was all over. Dad stopped farming and went to work at a factory. We never had so much money. We stopped farming the land, stopped raising our own animals except for FFA and 4H projects, and leased the majority of the land to another farmer. We sold out to another family member in the late 70s, moved to town and never looked back. My dad was the first person in his family to live past 60. People can wax poetic about the "idyllic" life on the farm, but that is such patent BS, no actual farmer could tolerate it.

As an American, the first part of the video breaking down what "conservatism" means in a British sense was very, very helpful. Here in the US, we've had a Free Market, pro-individual rights, anti-big government society since the beginning, so our "conservatives" are trying to conserve that system, whereas in Britain, ya'll have a completely different set of values your conservatives are trying to "conserve". So despite sharing the same term, our conservatives and your conservatives are not actually natural allies. Over here, our biggest problem is our leaders have to play a statists game, so when they are in Washington DC for 30+ years, they become part of the statist system rather than a representative of their anti-statist constituents. I mean, how many of us Americans vote for someone only to be disappointed that our candidate just became a cog in the same broken machine we sent them to fix? IMO, we need to stop trying to fix the machine, we need to take a sledgehammer to it and dismantle it. One page bills- "X department of the Federal Government will dissolve on Dec 31st this year" ect. No repealing and replacing, just repealing and shredding. If it has a three letter acronym, it's gone. Dismember the Federal Government on a wide scale. Actually honor the 1st, 2nd, 5th, and 10th Amendment. I'd argue that even the 3rd Amendment is being violated right now, the NSA is in my home watching what I do, why is that fundamentally different than a quartered solider sitting with my family at the dinner table? Think about, some asshole at FT. Meade is in your home, permanently watching you with a HELL of a lot more snooping power than a normal human has.

Just a comment on Thatcher. While yes the poll tax in itself was a terrible idea, wasn't it bought in to replace another evil tax which is council tax? The better solution is to get rid of council tax altogether and allow private companies to compete for bin collection services. Also she was the best conservative PM in history IMO (obviously the standards are not very high). Had she not bought in the reforms in the early 1980s the UK would have plunged into a Greek style economy. She also had a massive battle on her hands because whenever she tried doing anything remotely radical and free marketish, both her own party and the public would be in uproar. Thatcher was not voted in because of her free market beliefs, she was voted in because the country was sick of 1970s socialism... She was extremely unpopular early on and was only saved by the Falklands. She unfortunately became more statist in her later years in office which was a shame. This just tells me if the people cannot even tolerate minor Thatcher market reforms with some deregulation, then those who want a true free market in Britain are dreaming.

She also had a massive battle on her hands because whenever she tried doing anything remotely radical and free marketish, both her own party and the public would be in uproar." I do agree with that assessment. From her point of view, she was in a tough position, and she inherited a country that was on its knees. However, my point is to say that she's not what people perceive her to be. And if people take their emotions out of the equation and look at the facts, yes she closed the mines, but the industries she supposedly "privatised" weren't really privatised. The railways are still owned by the government via their corporation: National Rail. It's only nominal privatisation, not actual. And she introduced the Poll Tax, which is obviously a tax increase.

Mosley was never a 'Lord' he was a hereditary Knight, a 'Baronet'. Being a member of the very wealthy landed gentry he really had very little to do. So politics was his hobby. The Mosleys had a great deal of property and also a small village in South Lancashire. That village grew quite a bit and its people wanted to improve their political status against the Lord of the Manor and held a demonstration which was put down by the County Magistrates in 1819. However, the local people even managed to get itself a couple of MPs as a new 'reformed' Parliamentary Borough under the 1832 Reform Act. Then in 1835 they got themselves Borough status under the Municipal Corporations Act. The problem was that the Land Lord of the Manor owned most of its territory, so the new council negotiated a buy-out from the Mosleys. The old main street of this village is 'Mosley Street' and the price agreed with the Mosleys for the land was .... £800,000 in 1838 - do the math for today's value. Oh, the village is called 'Manchester'.

From an objective standpoint, Sir Oswald Mosley was right. I've seen more and more Britons on the internet saying this, especially lately. Ww2 destroyed the British empire and turned the British isles itself and all western Europe into American vassals. Britain should have just quit the war in July 1940, accepting Hitler's last official peace offer. Then Britain could have just focused on defending the empire, and fulfilling that 19th century ideal which was popularized again by Oswald Mosley; that of turning the Empire into a Global Imperial Federation.

Also, such an enclosed autarkic "syndicalist" economy would prevent external and international interests from meddling in domestic economic affairs. You can still have low taxes, small government and technological advancement while at the same time giving the workers a greater piece of the pie and a bigger voice in the board room. With their own personal wealth on the line, the stock holding workers will perform their jobs well so as to collect the maximum dividend from their labor efforts.

He first went to the Tories, then abandoned them because they were too "right-wing" (i.e. he wanted more radical change). Then he went to the Libs, same deal. And then the Labour Party, same deal. That's when he decided to create his own movement. You can definitely make the argument Mosley and fascism in general were left-wing. 8:36 It makes no sense to pretend the Conservatives aren't more (classically) liberal than the Labour Party. You claim Thatcher wasn't pro-freedom because she raised this or that tax, but you forget to mention the marginal income tax rate was cut in half under Thatcher, which is very significant. Also, we can't look at things in a vacuum. We live in the real world. While Thatcher was not 100% liberal (it's basically impossible), she was a lot more liberal than leader of the opposition Michael Foote (e.g.), who was her main opponent in the early 80s and was a full-blown marxist.

Re: the start of this video on your commentary about the flow of labour from the countryside to the cities with the growth of industrialisation, there is one major omission in your analysis: the enclosures. Several million people sustained their livelihoods (admittedly in relative poverty) farming strips of land in "open-field systems" whilst having access to commons such a fields where livestock they owned could graze or woodland where pigs could be put out to pannage. Whilst industrialisation, urban population growth and economic growth increased trends in larger farming systems (farms) to generate higher food production, open-field/common-field land-use patterns remained more conducive to the production of market-garden produce for longer around the major English towns such as Leicester, Nottingham & Liverpool. Between 1760 & 1870 about 7 million acres (about 1/6th of England) were changed from common-land to enclosed land by some 4,000 acts of enclosure - mainly for sheep grazing. A suite of business innovations (double-entry accounting, the joint-stock company, etc.) combined with this systematic policy of kicking people off commonly managed lands so that a system of “rent seeking” could be built up for wealthy people to extract money from the working poor.

Lark Rise to Candleford, the original novel, not the typical divisive series, is an interesting and accurate account of how farm workers lived in the 1870s. We must remember that improvements in seed drills, harvesters and the Norfolk Crop Rotation System meant a lot of farm workers were not needed. In economic terms this would have been a boom as those workers headed to towns and cities to work in manufacturing that created abundance, especially in cotton products that everyone benefited from, not just the landed nobility. One of the reasons Africa and Central America is poor is due to tariffs preventing them exporting remanufactured added value products such as coffee and sugar to protect US, UK and EU farmers. I worked on farms during Christmas Holidays and it was freezing. I was only too glad to work indoors, as were many factory workers. My Gt Grandmother said the work was light but busy and you got paid what you made and she never had a bad word about it apart from some were lazy. Whilst farmwork could be long hours, workers found the easiest ways to do tasks and apart from initial tilling or ploughing, done by heavy horses, then seeding, there was not much to do until harvest when all hands were needed, hence the summer holidays. Winter was tending livestock and consuming stored food.

Mosley was an aristocrat, but not LORD Mosley. He was Sir Oswald Mosley, Bt. A minor inaccuracy. Keep up the good work. Thanks. From Reggio di Calabria, Italy.

I do need to point out that this average life expectancy of 35 is actually Bogus, TIK.

If you count kids who did not make to their 5th birthday the stats are abysmally low. (if one person dies at age of one and another dies at 69, then life average life expectancy is 35). If you count life expectancy at age of 5, stats don't look bad.
