The Failings of the Modern Left
- Thread starter I think not
- Start date
I've been thinking about this thread for a while, the failings of the modern left are nowhere more apparent than in North America, bastion of the modern right. :wave:
LOL!
I swear to God when my death ray gets back from the shop you're the first one against the wall.
```I have yet to get an answer.```
Oh, you've gotten an answer all right -- it's just not very convenient for your twisted thinking. As I said, if the left is as bankrupt as you would like to believe, it's reemergence both in the USA and Latin America prove the point that it remains superior to that of the degenerating right.

It really never went away. Did it? Anyway the health and growth of the American left is very important to the world, I see no avoidance of global war without that power waking up again and reasserting itself as a force that it once was, for the sake of America and the world it must happen and soon.:wave:
As usual, very little substance, but getting deeper into shyte.
I site the democratic party as proof, not because they are socialist, but they court the thought and identify as left. But don't let that stop you from climbing on to you elitest high horse and trying to trod over the point, good luck with that.
Seeing as you need more education...
The very socialist leanings of the provincial Liberals in Ontario, voted themselves a great big raise, 25%, and the working poor got 25 cents. Now isn't the just a shining example of moral bankruptcy???
Anyone for Beaver tail stew???
Nice. He's being promoted by the Neoliberal Veterans for the Truth.:laughing7:
I get the impression its just more repackaged Ricardo. I've little time for crypto-fascism. Does he at least mention that economic law is NOT an extension of natural law and we are NOT its subordinates?
Absolutely nothing.....other than try and fight the means that lead to the end. Granted there are some on the left that, as the original article claims, support oppressive regimes but they are the exception not the rule. I would say that most would rather solve this problem by dealing with the issues that have created the problem in the first place. Sadman became a menace in large part because of the actions of the west. The west did a lot to help Iran become a theocracy. The Allies did alot to encourage the rise of Hitler. I believe most on the left want a change in attitude above all else.
I personally think this issue goes far deeper than most and as you probably know ITN, I don't generally think in terms of right and left. For me, both the right and the left have the same basic desires. They just have different means to an end and both have serious drawbacks with their means.
Martin Wolf is the economics editor for the Financial Times.
The book outlines basic economics, i.e. the terms of trade, but there is no philosophy.
Its primary benefit is that it is full of statistics and studies. Its a great source, but not the first one I'd recommend to a newbie.
It's not. That being said, the west bears some responsibility for the situation in Rwanda....as do the Rwandans. Fortunately or unfortunately (depending on your perspective) Rwanda isn't as valuable to the industrialized world as Iraq.
Of course and thats part of the reason why this whole thread is yet another exercise of the favored fall-back position of the Republican Neocons..
Point a finger and blame the left for not protesting terrible regimes and ignore the oppressive regimes created funded and militarily supported by America... Point a finger and claim that dude over there has Weapons of Mass Destruction let's go invade and tell the world it's not about oil or Pax Americana.. Don't dare point out to a Republican or a NeoCon that they own a great deal of the mess we all live with....NO NO it's always someone else to blame...
Not for what they did like firebomb Japan or drop nukes on them, not toxifying South East Asia's soil or using du weapons...No it's all them stoopid leftists who didn't protest who are to blame...
What a yuck!
