the immediacy and huge nature of it that strikes me as ideological
Not saying it's not ideological, but the immediacy strikes me as more of a PR move: BAM! We're in power and we're already making BIG CHANGES!
I mean either way thank fuck they did it. Can you imagine what Johnson and Truss would have done were they able?

It's more the immediacy and huge nature of it that strikes me as ideological. I don't think anyone could have planned such a large change and really grasped the long term consequences, so in my mind there has to be some belief system underpinning it.
Dunno, "fuck it, let's do this huge fundamental change to the economic sphere that denies us future power just for shits and giggles" doesn't really seem like the kind of thing you do without believing something?
So I've not really got an argument here — just vibes
