Another statement by #Varoufakis that I agree with and really makes me sad from the movie is this:

#lgbtqia issues and #racism got used by #us #democraticparty as a substitute for addressing bigger inequalities.

It allowed them to go along with #neoliberalism, help their donors, and abandon the #workingclass which Trump then caught.

It was a hack instead of a structural fix, and that’s why it collapsed. Everyone might become worse off as result!

The real problem is fake #left #politics 😑

In manchen Dingen erscheint Österreich (mal wieder) als Petrischale zu den Auswirkungen national-völkischer Politik als Modell der Interessen von Kapitalhaltern und Boulevard-Medienmonopolisten zu deren protegierten antidemokratischen Rechtsruck.
Der Gegenwind einer linken Aufklärung findet aufgeweckt konturierte Beiträge zur Debatte. Ein Hinweis von mir zur Wiener Szene – für Leseinteressierte:

Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz went to Trump's new prison camp in FL--"Alligator Alacatraz"--and made a strong statement on the spot about the horrific conditions in the camp. One of the first responses to the video clip with her on Bluesky was, "Ask her about Gazans who have it worse." The poster got a stern rebuke from someone much smarter. We're tired of the #whataboutism, the #EchoChamber, the lack of #empathy for anything but pet causes among some on the #left.

... You are not better than they are at their own game, you’re not going to outsmart them and “push them #left”, it’s naive to think otherwise, and they will 100% bring these various forms of #repression back to the home front if and when it suits protecting their interests because it’s what they do. It’s all they do.

Even the furthest #left candidates, the #ZohranMamdami s and #NinaTurner s within it, are ultimately bound by the same machinery and #laws of motion that #govern any other #politician working within the two party #duopoly. That is to say, these people are really only kept around to make you feel like you’re being represented and have someone fighting for you, so that you don’t take matters into your own hands and do far more than just vote every couple of years. ...

"To every #left-leaning centrist / self-described #progressive currently on the #MAGA hate-train: don’t allow yourselves to get so obsessed with blaming #Trump for everything that you miss the bigger picture. Yes, Trump is enacting a repressive #rightwing agenda, but in comparison to other presidents, nothing he is doing is outside the scope of what you can expect from the #president of the #UnitedStates.

The answer seems to be that clear Left economic policies with moderately progressive positions on cultural and environmental issues work fine!

Trade-offs between economics and culture aren’t as big as people think.

Being seen as *very* woke or green might lose older voters.

However, going full social-nationalist will piss off a lot of your younger and educated voter potential!

The Green Party is definitely looking to encourage Labour voters into their fold.... the strategy is pretty clearly exhibited in their latest press release on the first year of the Labour Govt.

After discussions here, for many people they are looking like a viable alternate left vote, and unsurprisingly the Greens are going to make the most of that.... and why wouldn't they?

Green Party · One year on: Labour ‘haemorrhaging’ support to the Greens over Gaza and welfare cuts - Green PartyLabour is ‘haemorrhaging’ support to the Greens over its failure to oppose the Israeli government’s genocide in Gaza and its plans to slash support for disabled people.  

We were at The Left's conference in Warsaw to talk about abortion in Poland and the first abortion center Abotak. Thank you for the invitation! Abortion is not only a bodily autonomy issue, it's also about economics, capitalism and power. We hope to see the brave politicians in Poland, who really supports full decriminalization of abortion, if not the left parties, then who?

Byłyśmy na konferencji The Left - lewicowej frakcji w Europarlamencie. Natalia mówiła o sytuacji aborcyjnej w Polsce, pierwszej przychodni aborcyjnej Abotak i o tym, że aborcja to nie tylko kwestia autonomii cielesnej, ale również ekonomii, kapitalizmu i władzy. Bardzo chciałybyśmy mieć w kraju odważne polityczki i polityków, którzy naprawdę wpierają pełną dekryminalizację aborcji, bo jeśli nie lewica, to kto?

[repost The Left EU] What does an illegal abortion clinic look like?

In Warsaw, just steps from the Polish Parliament, stands the country’s first abortion clinic. A colourful place of care, resistance, and solidarity. Run by courageous feminist activists, it offers what the state refuses: access to safe, self-managed abortions.

A delegation from The Left visited the clinic and brought abortion pills in solidarity, but it is not enough. The need is relentless, and the supply cannot keep up.

This is not freedom. This is not democracy. It’s a systematic violation of human rights.

We want safe and accessible abortions — for everyone, everywhere.
