so, "leftists"...
we're in the middle of losing every political fight right now. rational discourse no longer works because we all need to take time to speak; money talks because money can walk away very quickly and still be heard. labour is increasingly siding with the "jobs first" mentality. "creative" protests are often creatively bankrupt and backfire in the media. the rights and hopes (and the hope for rights) of citizens increasingly adhere to market principles. the bankers are getting their way with the dissolution of public institutions in north america. workers overwhelmingly support these changes as an excuse to lower their taxes which, because they lack the means to invest and be called a shareholder (the only vote that matters these days), is now the only way for them to get a raise. meanwhile, leftist activists are focusing on environmental band-aids, pot legalization, and the cleansing of words...
in an era when protest and resistance are encouraged in order to justify law enforcement and we all want success in life, do we have any ideas left?
