They sure are taking their time about it. Over three decades and not a whiff of Communism anywhere. The opposite actually.
logical step for Labour is to reverse Brexit

If they exploit the low paid then yes.
If they take all the assets, then yes
If they privatise everything and make it more expensive then yes.
It they privatise the profits abd socialise the losses then yes
If the wealthy get progressively richer during austerity then yes
If a country has a strong democracy, then the wealthy can get wealthier whilst those at bottom can afford a liveable life: Denmark, Sweden, Norway for example
See how a protected member can say the "i" word but if I say it then it triggers my post to go through MOD approval first.
Textbook economics answer, but life is more complex. For example 1) and 2) could equally apply to trade unions negotiating better pay for their workers, yet such an approach would be dismissed as anti business by right wing think tanks.

I would encourage you to visit these countries and learn about their culture. None are particularly comparable to the UK.

They negotiate high pay for their workers, by restricting the local market, but as we know industry finds a way unless its restricted / public sector.
Plenty of companies have gone to the wall due to unions controlling productivity and wages, while the company loses to competition.

Like you, sir
So we should adjust our culture to be more like them then ............then maybe the dumb Uk electorate wouldnt keep voting in establishment elite public school rich who do it to enrich themselves
the reason they arent like the Uk is because we have a sh1t culture that enables the rich to influence politics and media for vested self interest
you still support Brexit -D'oh!

oh dear, poor Notch thinks its all love and Abba, if you go to Sweden, you'll find a lot of poverty... until its rounded up and deported.
some of the world's strictest anti-immigration policies exist in Sweden and Denmark.
You sound angry, and also utterly nuts. You should look up the meaning of the word "generally". You've produced a list of the exceptions that I stated that there are.
Neo-liberal, left wing, communism, whatever. It's all different branding of the same stuff. Government knows best, tax and regulate everything and don't listen to people. Every time lefty governments fail, they invent a new word for more of the same.
Any left-wing privatisation is normally cronyism, i.e. corruption, which is a feature of all left-wing governments. Usually just a means of someone taking government money for themselves. Or, in Gordon Brown's case, a way of hiding just how much money they were spending (i.e. PFI contracts).
I can't imagine what a government contract without competitive tendering would look like? Presumably a lot of contracts would be awarded fraudulently, hence it normally required. Even when I was getting my car repaired after someone crashed into it, I had to get two repair quotes to prove the cost was reasonable - this is all just common sense that's been around for ever.
Buuuutttt.... no doubt you'll angrily respond with some contorted waffle centred around the fact that I stated this therefore it proves something utterly unrelated.
Communism? No, it isn't. Not even close.
Real classy at the end there.
Obviously it's racist. It's mocking appearance by racial characteristic, in exactly the same way as making monkey noises at black football players.
Selective racism is still racism.
Obviously it isn't.
