Is Boris Johnson a secret, covert socialist? Or, just a windbag? Insincere? Never means what he says? A 17th-century Leveller?!
What about the rich levelling down? That never happens. It should. The wealthy have more money than they know what to do with. So it is wasted and spent on burning up finite fossil fuels and giving the runaway greenhouse effect. The rich are most responsible for climate disaster and the poor suffer the most from it.
from Wikipedia:
The Levellers were a political movement during the English Civil War (1642–1651) committed to popular sovereignty, extended suffrage, equality before the law and religious tolerance. The hallmark of Leveller thought was its populism, as shown by its emphasis on equal natural rights, and their practice of reaching the public through pamphlets, petitions and vocal appeals to the crowd.[1]
The Levellers came to prominence at the end of the First English Civil War (1642–46) and were most influential before the start of the Second Civil War (1648–49)
