The Epstein scandal has obliterated public trust in Britain’s core institutions: the monarchy, the police, Parliament, and the rest. Millions of people are even more convinced than they were before that the system is rigged, and the state is rotten to the core.

Lenin once explained that even the most ‘democratic’ states are nothing but dictatorships of capital, as long as the bankers and bosses are in control. Looking at the state of modern-day Britain, it’s clear that his words are as true as ever.

The Epstein files have exposed, albeit partially, the inner workings of the ruling class and the state. Through money, diplomacy, intelligence services, organised crime, and universities, the Epstein class preserves its rule. It cannot be reformed – it must be burned down.
