RFS is a condition first recognised in Socialism by Marx and Engels, and latterly by Lenin and Stalin, and in all genres of state ownership of the means production by Libertarians since the year dot. It needs no explanation, it is what is says on the tin: Repetitive. Failure. Syndrome.
Messer's MELS posited that the state would even go so far as to "wither away" as a consequence of RFS ...

Sadly the cries from reason and the third estate to "Bring it on already!" are going unheeded in a truly psychotic and psychopathic manner ...

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.
To put politicians who are people with no track record of operating the means of production in charge of the means of production and expecting them to perform like some super-CEO, Alan Sugar, Richard Branson or Bill Gates, was obviously insane. For these people called politicians to believe that, in spite of their total lack of any competence or track record, they should still be in charge of the means of production, that was psychotic arrogance.
And then, the pols, having just massacred 60,000 Brits in 3 months, 3 times the rate Adolf Hitler managed over the same period on average in WWII, for them to not resign, to not die of shame, or somewhere in between, demonstrates a psychopathic lack of empathy.
Now it might not seem possible to extend beyond these psychotic and psychopathic criminal negligences, the bringing of a micro-Auschwitz and mini-Gulag simultaneously to these shores in plain view - like the not in plain view institutionalised starvation and dehydration to death of 10,000 elderly and vulnerable people every year that went unnoticed for decades until the media discovered it, a crime against humanity also perpetrated by politicians and the state.
But actually it is possible. By simply doing it again ...
In April, the Government announced a huge expansion in testing. The Health Department took responsibility away from ill-fated Public Health England. They had failed to stop the outbreak after centralising testing and rebuffing offers from the charities, universities, animal labs and the private sector.
The problem: the Government has repeated PHE’s mistakes. Testing has remained highly centralised – to a small number of “Lighthouse” mega labs. They have shown scant interest in smaller local labs and facilitating new technologies.
Hospitals, care homes and schools are not getting the tests they need. Not to mention the tracing fiasco. Our world-beating test and trace regime is becoming a national embarrassment.
The backlog at the mega labs are holding up the entire testing process. They simply cannot handle the pressure. It would have been wiser to commission 100 smaller labs throughout the country to do 2,000 local tests a day for 200,000 daily tests. If one failed, it would barely impact the overall regime.
But rather than take responsibility for this mess, the Health Secretary Matt Hancock is blaming the public for ordering “frivolous tests”.
This is a self-inflicted disaster. It did not have to be this way – and nor does it have to be this way in future.
In early April, Professor John Newton was appointed “testing czar” – despite coming from the failing PHE. Newton explained their closed attitude: “That’s a very clear message: we are not relying on lots of people coming forward to help us to achieve what’s required,” Newton said.
The state has quite literally hired the same people in the same centralised model and done it again.
And incredibly it doesn't end there. The pols and state are about to do it again ...
The Government is now pursuing Project Moonshot, another mass expansion of testing. This is visionary and worth the cost. If we could do tens of millions of tests each week we could go out socialising, working and being educated as normal with reassurance.
But if the Government takes the same centralised approach to testing for a third time it will be destined to fail like the other two.
These new tests won’t require central labs and bureaucratic control; or even any machinery or expertise to administer. They just require a new way of thinking about testing. The Government would not be in charge. They need to deregulate: allow anyone, for any reason they like, to produce and order the necessary chemicals (reagents), DNA primers, antibodies, and tubes.
Testing is how we save lives, get our economy and schools back to normal, and avoid further lockdowns and restrictions on liberty. Let’s not screw it up again.
What is this? Some weird social sciences experiment to understand the very worst periods of human history by re-enacting them? In this case with a 3x greater death rate than the original, as if to heighten the sensation?
Insane. Psychotic. Psychopathic.
And there's no end in sight. All X's in all boxes on all ballot papers lead to the same outcome.
British democracy has become re-elected totalitarianism. British democracy has become the very "Boot stamping on a human face, forever" foreseen by Orwell.
How ironic.
