There’s so many hopeful signs these days - recognition of what neoliberal capitalism/consumerism is doing to the environment, movements towards localism rather than globalism, people consuming more responsibly (buying organic produce and eating less meat), etc.
This is all great stuff.
But imagine how helpful it would be if we had a government that was on our side in this? Instead of having a government that is on the side of the transnational corporations that we’re trying to resist?
It is so sad, that over recent decades, we have been so convinced by the notion that the state must only have a limited role. And it is even more sad, given that it is a great big lie - the state has a huge role! But their role has tended to be on the side of the elites, rather than on the side of the people, and the planet. Socialism for the 1%.
We need a radical, leftist governments to direct and regulate the system so that it supports us in this movement away from neoliberal globalization.
VOTE LABOUR. VOTE BERNIE SANDERS.
