  • 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.
