Likewise, Liberal and Conservative no longer mean anything but more of the same tired old politics. If we must choose parties, I choose the Green Party. They have no sordid past.<br /> Robert E.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06035374171681856087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4305888946584866654.post-11413855093080970952018-04-03T14:45:18.980-07:002018-04-03T14:45:18.980-07:00What's left of the LEFT?
Nationally & Pro...What's left of the LEFT?<br /><br />Nationally & Provincially, the NDP has been ignoring the "negative" trends of the Left or, of what remains of the Left, in all of the so called, Social Democracies. They've also ignored the attempted UKs' resurgence of the Labour Party. (I guess they preferred Blair to Corbyn)<br />This has allowed the NeoLiberists in Canada & in its Provinces to change seat by exchanging the front "rider" of "their" political "Tandem-bike by hardly changing "The Agenda", only the rhetoric! <br />We might say that the electorate deseves the Particratic Oligarch or Dictator of the day presented to them & voted for by them.<br />That facile condemnation doesn't account for the fact that most are afraid of the current geo-political & financial situation as the middle class shrinkage takes away any hope of a meritocratic democracy which seems to grow more as a corrupted & colluded Establishment. This apparent "cancer" has metastasized in the US, whose Empire is more concerned with militariazation in order to export their kind of "democratic sausage" abroad, of which they don't have any left for home consumption! <br />Politics is Not an Opinion nor a Science but has been reduced to such by Opinionated Technocrats in Governments and propagated by MSMs, according to old, outdated modules of LEFT/RIGHT ideologies that have evolved little since medieval and Machiavellian times! A not so NEW Modus Pensandi & Operandi must be adopted along the lines of the early founders of the NDP with Honesty & Humanity! <br />To finish: there's no Democracy without Justice!altorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01946287530655984531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4305888946584866654.post-70956705904537353882017-06-08T14:11:08.047-07:002017-06-08T14:11:08.047-07:00Excellent article. And since we're remembering...Excellent article. And since we're remembering, let's also not forget that the ONDP's 2014 platform dropped their promise to restore corporate tax rates to previous levels, and they dropped the ONDP's own Ontario Pension Plan concept (which Wynne meanwhile pretended to adopt).Avrum Rosnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00803977724995959693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4305888946584866654.post-26987831653539076662017-06-08T04:22:50.055-07:002017-06-08T04:22:50.055-07:00excellentexcellentJudy Haivenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01879864520790721082noreply@blogger.com
