I cannot help seeing tons of similarities between Swedish and British politics. During the last Swedish general election the supposed “right-wing” party Moderaterna (Tories’ equivalent) took several steps to the left, changed their rhetoric to better suit the common man and adopted several ideas and sentences regularly used by the Social Democrats (Labour).
Even before the similarities between the supposed left and the supposed right was minimal, after that election and during this period the similarities have been even more obvious.
The inbreed devotees will of course not agree. According to the politicos there’s a huuuuuge distinction.
A 1-2% difference in taxation, one or two laws among thousands and one department less or more is what they are fighting over nowadays, but listening to spin-doctors and those closest to power the very future of the world is at stake.
What is even more distressful then the slim differences, what is really worrisome are the parts were they are in agreement. Both sides want to be member of the European Union and are happily licking boots in Brussels. Both sides want that totalitarian control-grid and CCTV everywhere. Both sides pray at the Church of Climatology. Both sides want to save the chiiildreeen and hug feminists. Both sides love Keynesian economics and have no problems throwing billions at banks and selling out our future while their serfs stumble further down into despair.
As said, the similarities with Britain are staggering.
The Tories doesn’t want to change anything, and the current Labour government is probably the worst government in the history of mankind and wants to go further down the same path.
Listening to the British debate and political discussion I cannot see any reason voting for Cameron versus voting for the cyclops. The scot is horrendously ugly and probably evil incarnate, but seen to the policies a vote for either is a wasted vote.
Or, if in doubt, check this clip out:
Okay, that was Tony the war criminal and Cameron, but you get the idea…
Even worse than that, whoever takes power are going to haft to face the worst economic disaster the British isles have faced in many centuries. There is actually only one way out of that mess and it isn’t the LabourTories way. The truth is that only the illusion of choice and democracy exist, but in reality, Brits live in a two party autocracy.
Americans can probably recognize this too, so can many people on this planet.
The mainstream statism and political correctness they have mixed with five drops of fascism, four drops of socialism and one very tiny drop of capitalism is the road pretty much everyone is on. The comparison above comes to the main ‘adversaries’ in Swedish politics are applicable everywhere.
No wonder a depression awaits us.
A leftie would probably argue that Labour/social democrats /The Democratic Party have turn towards the middle, become more ‘right’ so to say. This isn’t so. In some aspects they have abandon socialism, but instead they’ve adapted much of the collectivism that we normally call ‘fascism’.
The same can be said about the supposed conservative parties.
The initial thought from both sides was probably to win the electorate and then make more gradual changes as to not scare off voters.
The problem here is twofold.
Firstly it is much easier being to the left in politics, it appeals more to the hearts of people and the rhetoric is so simple a coma patient can do it. And since they cannot only use words, they also need to act; this means that leftie policies become the winner. Secondly by moving slightly towards the middle they have adopted corporatism as a biproduct and so fascism strikes. And the longer time this goes on and the more they suck up to the righteous and politically correct, the deeper the chasm gets.
If you want change, real change, the main parties should not be your choice, in any country. Vote communist, pick the Pirate Party, UKIP, or vote libertarian - which is what you all should do. Such parties will make a difference if gaining power. Sure the communists will kill us all more quickly, but hey, a real change.
Why stop when the steam is up. There is no distinction between large scale capitalism and socialism. It means that established power structures want to keep the power amongst themselves and only let in new players if the accept the values of old. That is why the Bilderberg-group exists. Get a feel for the persons, so you know how to handle them.
ReplyDeleteWhy would otherwise the tax system be so large company oriented in Sweden? Pump in tax money to the state and distribute it on fun projects.
But there is no need to critizise, because the voters want this. It is easier to flow along, then to STOP and think about it.
