Not quite dead yet, but soon.
A nation totally bamboozled.
A nation being dumbed down in schools.
Dumbed down in their social expectations.
Think about it. Not too many people you know support the neocon or neolib regimen, and yet it continues to roll over us.
I never thought of the NDP that way..just as a bunch of politically correct,idealists without thee true costs of their ideas.
Canadian Action Party Mel Hurtigs books are very instructive about the nuts and bolts level of corporate fascism.
Welllllllllllllllll
Dunno about youse guys, but;
I'm retired, got time, and intend to become a card carrying NDP guy, and actually work for the party.
For whatever good it will do, as the Libs and Cons have almost got it in the minds of Canadians that NDP = commie.
Anyway, will be interesting.
If we don't stand up we may as well roll over.............8Othat make sense???

I made a donation to them before the election.
I don't particularly like the NDP. I don't see why social programs have to mean less freedom and fewer rights. They seem to think that if government hands you money then they have the right to order you around. So they view social programs as a weapon against liberty not for it - this is a view shared by all the major political parties. The reality is that any money the government has was stolen and pilfered. All government money is dirty money and it doesn't give them any privilege or moral ground. If government doesn't give up freely and unconditionally the money it steals then the government is a tyranny.
It was exactly that evolution to soft fluffy compromize with capital and politically correct glamour that compelled me to quit them. They've long ago become canadian Democrats.
I'm not an expert about particapatory democracies but I do know we no longer live in one and I can't say with any exactitude when we stopped that and began living in the wage slavery and perpetual debt both national and personal but I remember marching and protesting against free-trade back in the eighties with vaguly defined fears that this,the now, is where we would find ourselves. Here's the inescapable truth, that's our government, we are responsible, we fix it or we suffer. Humans cannot yet escape the necessity to self govern for the good of all citizens. I don't think even enlightened anarchy would work just yet. The tyranny of a corporate and government union is called fascism, isn't that what Mooseoleanee said?
