Paul Rigby Wrote:When Nothing "Left" Is Left The People Will Vote Far Right
Many nominally social-democratic parties in Europe are on the same downward trajectory as the Democrats in the U.S. for the very same reason. Their real policies are center right. Their marketing policies hiding the real ones are to care for this or that minority interest or problem the majority of the people has no reason to care about. Real wages sink but they continue to import cheep labor (real policy) under the disguise of helping "refugees" (marketing policy) which are simply economic migrants. (Even parts of the German "Die Linke" party are infected with such nonsense.)
The people with real economic problems, those who have reason to fear the future, have no one in the traditional political spectrum that even pretends to care about them. Those are the voters now streaming to the far right. (They will again get screwed. The far right has an economic agenda that is totally hostile to them. But it at least promises to do something about their fears.) Where else should they go?
I suppose we have to thank the saintly Tony Blair for some of this. Until the smiling one entered the fray the UK Labour Party was still focused on the centre left. Few know or now care to recall how Blair, Brown and Mo Mowlem were creatures of America (as outed in a Robin Ramsay article in LOBSTER). Cynics might regard that as interfering in the election of another nation by selecting and aligning future political leaders - but of course that title can only be bestowed by the Intelligence Community and its political vassals on targeted enemies.
Overall, I though it a good article for pointing out how the left have abandoned their natural support base and become the knee-benders to money and power.
To the winner the spoils:
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
