Current Affairs The Far Right

[Gwladysstreetlad]

Nobody at the moment, which is a good thing. Nobody knows what could happen though, especially at the moment. Far right parties have become successful in a short space of time in Europe.

I'm confidant, in fact im certain that we'll never see anything even remotely close to that type Far Right party here in the UK nor will we ever see an extreme far left (who are just as vile and evil, as is anything so extreme). Not now, not ever, it's not going to happen.

I could be wrong but I think that LePen in France is no more far right than UKIP. I've watched both BBC and C4 snippets about them recently. What's interesting is that their economic policies are pretty much identical to the left wing party (I forget its name) in France.

Interesting that parts of the country that were very left wing / communist not long ago are getting behind her and she is getting a lot of young people to support her , she is a good politician if nothing else to turn around her party, don't think she will win unless events overtake things between now and the election, more terrorism ect.
Don't know enough about her to know if she is a raving Nazi or not , but she seems to have tapped into something over there.

This tapping is politics in general globally. The corpratocracy decide what they want, the media sets the agenda and provide a 'public voice' with poorly represented polls, articles and opinion and the politicians react and adopt to 'mood' to do what it takes to get elected to introduce policies to suit the corporatists and further their career, even to absorbing traits that are qujte alien to them and their previous beliefs.
It's just a circus, a cycle of self serving idiots.

A fun game I like to play is "what in my past will be used against me when the far right are in power and want to execute me"...

Assuming nuclear war doesn't occur first of course, and two idiots with appalling haircuts don't wipe out millions of years of evolution.

I suppose it depends on who her opponent is going to be. If its Macron, she will probably win and we will all get to watch the elites bitch about how the Russians did this and they were cheated again. If its Melenchon, she probably won't win and the elites will immediately try to destroy him.

Not a game I'd like to play though it has crossed my mind, seriously. Same reasons I wouldn't go into politics. People used to take cameras to the Quad....

It's almost like they feel betrayed by the parties that claim to represent them.

It could be, or they could be so dependant upon business that they have no scope to afford the luxury of ideals above a hand-to-mouth existence.

So the left has failed then.

Haven't all parties as far as a certain demographic's concerned?

They dwell and infect this forum. I'm genuinely surprised to see them all hanging out away from the main forum bigging up each other's myopia in here.

I cringe for those using far right and fascist in this day and age. Get a grip.
This image sums up the modern left perfectly.

*complains of others using far right and facist

* then complains about the "modern left"

It would seem certain nationalistic types have no sense of irony after all.
