The real tragedy of it is this: if left-leaning parties still based their policies and marketing on original leftist theory/thought, all this would be an arguments for more people to vote left. Leftism was intended to help the disenfranchised, the workers, the poor. But for a good while, social democrats have tried to become popular with the educated, mid- to high-earning employees; to the point where they've mostly lost their original target group. Meanwhile, the far-right are among the few parties that actually try to speak (pander, imo) to the workers' interests. I really hope this can be a wake up call to political parties that lean left.

The plutocrats in media and politics have turned the young against their own interests and blamed everything on foreigners. It's classic divide and rule.

Blaming brown people is easier than blaming capitalism.
