(20,729 posts)it's because of unions & the various left parties. they call out their workers, they make a big show -- just as afl/cio can still call out what's left of its workers here to make a show.
but in both places, a lot of the union and left party leadership is selling out their workers under the table, bit by bit.
and in a lot of european countries now the home-grown version of the 'tea party' (partly stage-managed, same as here) is on the ascendant, and for similar reasons.
it ain't that different. there is no constant culture or society. things change according to circumstances.
deeply disillusioned too, but not hopeless. maybe for my own life, but not for humanity.
i think people need to get clear on what's happening and stop waiting for a savior -- politicians, movement leaders, etc.
