People are increasingly turning to socialism because philosophy and economics have largely abandoned the interests of the majority of the populace and have turned into navel-gazing by nihilists and misanthropes.

They can tell that you don't like them. That you only feel contempt for them. That you take pleasure in their suffering.

Fair summary. If society was functioning well people wouldn’t be looking for answers in the writings of Marx.

It’s not dissimilar to blaming fiat for everything, that’s not to diminish where it has done damage but I don’t think blaming fiat for inclement weather is correct.

Something will change, of that I’m sure but I think it will take longer than a lot of people think and I have no idea what life will be like on the other side.

I do know I need to stay strong and look out for those close to me.

I dont think they are. Not at the grassroots level.

Election wise both the #UK and #French systems worked as designed, to gate keep power.

Here in the uk only 30% of voters (in only a 50% turnout) voted labour. Of that number the vast majorities reason was "to get the tories out".

The younger gen z and older Gen alpha are moving more to the right.

But ultimately at the end of the day these old definitions dont matter.

It's becoming more and more a realignment of top to bottom. People are slowly realising it's us the people against an elite class.

And the elite are being defined buy their ideologies rather than their class background.
