MODERATORS
Labor sold out the working class a long time ago. Greens are the best bet in an electorialist system, but they’ve shown they’ll pull up the ladder behind them when given power as well.
Across the west we need popular reform, aggressive popular reform, and the Greens don't seem to be it. Economic populism is what you lead with. People care about having enough money to live with dignity before anything else.
Have no “democracies” figured out a way to keep lobbying money out of politics?! Seems like this should be an easy thing to decide on but no “democracies” have people in power with the will to change for the better?
It’s high time the people topple and execute their masters. This is getting ridiculous.
You cannot keep corruption out of politics when you have massive concentration of wealth. There are systems that attempt to remedy this, but you will never be able to install them peacefully.
I agree that there seems to be no peaceful path forward. If only there was some organization in the violent option. The West needs another Bastille Day.
France has some suggestions.
Is it to complain loudly for years, then vote in a moderate who kowtows to nazis while paying lip service to constituents by pointing to "the bigger evil"?
Or is it to have multiple revolutions that all end up failing and bringing back oligarchy because they can only get rid of the current problem, not keep out the next one?
Violent revolution is a great vehicle for change, but that change is just as easily manipulated by bad actors as well as good.
All the protests I go to are peaceful. I wish more people would come out finally start singing a “song of angry men,” already. 100% in support of the guillotine approach.
