Yeah this is an argument I’ve never understood. Okay, a hypothetical socialist UK leaving the EU to do more socialism would be good, but that was never even remotely a possibility.
The argument is that the EU has a lot of requirements for its members to adopt neoliberal economic policies, but the counter is that the UK was excepted from many rules and really was not in a position to get got the way Greece did even if they did do a bunch of socialism.
Also that the people overseeing Brexit and setting up the new status quo would be neoliberals (Cameron at the time, but as was made obvious by the ratfucking of Corbyn, it’s not like Labour was going to be any better).
