    You really just seem ignorant of what has happened.

    The NEOLIBERALS who have been in 100% control of the Democratic party, who have had multiple majorities in my lifetime, have passed maybe 1 single law that caused a systemic change that was beneficial to the regular person (Medicaid)

    The NEOLIBERALS, despite proving they are impotent or complicit in the oligarchy, are allowed to keep power.

    The mistake we keep making is allowing the impotent or complicit to keep gaining power and freezing progress.

      Yes I’m fairly ignorant of that country. I’ve heard they’ve never had a left-wing party with mass support though.

      To build a left-wing party with mass support will require people with diverse opinions on many things to work together and keep focused on the base (i.e. the means of production)

        The unionists had huge support in the US until the US made it legal for the government to use propaganda against its own people to fight “communism”, which just allowed the rich owned news system to start lying to people and sowing hatred between workers, slowly killing unions and making people afraid to support leftist ideologies because of the Red Scare.

        Neither the Republicans or Democrats have offered solutions to the money that controls our political processes either because they are too weak or too complicit.
