“Are we the baddies?”
Labor party is y’all’s conservative dominant party?
Labour (with a u since it’s a proper noun from the UK) is named after trade unions; they’re the progressive party
So like the dems, they’re supposed to be marginally less fascist than the opposition
this and macron creating a conservative government despite leftists winning the most votes in france makes me wonder if a leftist victory is ever possible.
Not through liberal “democracies” no, where the entire point is to keep capitalists in power. Unionizing and organizing for a revolution has always been the only way.
The much bigger problem is the apathy and stupidity of the average person.
Every single person in Western countries has enough information to see through the bullshit of the political class and they have the power to vote them out. But they don’t. They don’t want to be bothered by actually taking responsibility, they just want someone else to blame. Jews, immigrants, gays, doesn’t matter.
Many will argue with propaganda, but most of the propaganda is extremely blatant. You’ll only believe it, if you want to believe it. It may solidify resentments, but it won’t create them out of nowhere.
Absolutely hilarious how western countries continue lecturing others on democracy and human rights.
Conference in the Zone Of Interest.
