Bloody good, but we need to unite a good chunk of the 99%, not just the 'Left'. The Left now only consists of the Greens, about 12% of the 99% and (sadly) distrusted by the rest. A lot of duopoly voters defecting to One Nation agree with your basic premise - governments are working for the 1%, not us - and One Nation don't own them. Success will come from uniting ordinary Australians.
Well said David and I agree with your assessment Frank that unity shouldn’t be hampered by outmoded labels. There is no Left or Right, rather the vast majority who are decent, hardworking and increasingly despairing. On the other side are the grifters hiding behind totally discredited trickle down Reganomics to justify their pillaging of the common weal. Bring back mutuals and cooperatives and nationalise essential infrastructure. Sweep away the politicians who are complicit with war and corruption. The ballot box is the people’s strength.
Thanks David. A good analysis but it brings us back to the 11th thesis in Feuerbach "The philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways; the point, however, is to change it."
