Across Europe and the US, neither the centre-right nor centre-left (i.e. Liberal democracy) know how to deal with the far-right insurgency. Why? Because they have no policy to deal with growing inequality, unlike the far-right, which (acting on behalf of billionaires), pretend to

Stuff needed doing, didn't get done.
Probably the same all over the world.
That or they too will get swept away.
The US has far right in establishment democrats, the extreme right in establishment Republicans, and Totalitarian Authoritarians in Maga Republicans and their corporate sugar daddies, -1 ceo now
The needs of the few do not supercede the needs of the masses.
More rightfully so, should be called 'the Right-Lite.'
Also, those that actually care, too often mostly concerned with campaign funds drying up as the donor class goes full on reactionary against any proposed changes to the status quo.
The far right pretends it has a solution ( more of the same but blame them over there)
The left need to convince the population that there is another way
If climate catastrophe and social breakdown are to be avoided , capitalism must end
As we've seen, it's open to abuse, and the richest in society has unlocked that frailty.
Pandoras box has been opened, and it can't be closed now.
The far RW united globally whilst the left were too busy arguing with themselves over idealogical purity or fighting irrelevant battles they had no chance of winning
Meanwhile the far RW TechBros took control of the narrative with the left stuck in the 90s
They're in their celebrity to persuade phase
Every time musk(etc) tweets, they should be answered with the proportion of tax we pay relative to our wealth compared to his proportion
They just don’t want to. Labour in the UK & Australia could increase spending tomorrow but won’t because they’re scared of the RW media going crazy.
The acceptable face of Libertarianism
So built in inequality continues , dissatisfaction continues
RW seen as saviours

Social Media is the problem number two after billionaires.
Without regulation of social media it will end badly.
So why aren’t they doing something about it
Whose
Holding a gun to their head
I am mostly in favour of Capitalism and believe
Robert Reich has identified the problem which is basically super charged Capitalism where the distribution of wealth is kept amongst the very few.
Basically we have Lottery Capitalism.
Dumbass system with entirely predictable outcomes.
I despise Reform but Labour Tories & the Lib Democrats have allowed this to happen. If you can access housing or well paid jobs you will look to other solutions albeit fake.
Big decision to be had
I just don’t understand people who understand how bad capitalism is still seemingly holding water ideologically for it.
Having said that there’s Capitalism & Capitalism.
If no one has any money or wealth the whole thing collapses.
This current generation seem to have no understanding that they need customers so they need to pay decent wages.
And i give a fuck what people prefer.
If this was 1600, and i was arguing against the institution of slavery, would saying “its the preferred system” be a very convincing argument it it’s defense?
*stop buying in to #Neoliberal #TrickleUp BS of the last 30yrs
*start regulating rampant capitalist corruption
*get rid of 2 tier justice system, where elites get off with a wet lettuce fine & the rest get put in jail
*regulate/tax asset classes same as the PAYE earners
1) Stop defending uncontrolled immirgation when the houses are not being built.
2) Get media savvy & take on cryptolibertarianism
3) Stop bankrolling billioniares and bankrupt them
4) Reflect peoples concerns and cut back on minority virtue signalling
5) PLAY THE GAME
But it doesn’t die, clearly. It hibernates until the Gaviscon works, and looks at the next set of “others”.

America becomes a RUSSIAN SATELLITE STATE once PSYCHOPATHS Trump/Vance/Musk & #PutinsGOP take power.
Republicans have opened the gates of hell.
