RE: What is wrong with Antifa and the Alt-left (no images, only a few thoughts)

in #antifa7 years ago

Very interesting but still confusing. We have been discussing the Anti-Fa and the things going on in the states a lot here in Iceland. It´s tricky to fight against hate propaganda and it´s tricky to fight for change of any kind in an established rooted society. People have the tendency to hold on to established systems and fight off changes. Regarding the fact that most people want the same things peace and security and so on we have a problem with the elite getting the most votes most of the time and the majority voting against what they say they want in surveys about spesific matters even big matters. This is not just an educational problem but also a problem with tradition in some way. We have families voting the same way generation after generation and new political partys having hard time getting heard. I both agree and disagree with Sophia Burns about politics being made of classes. It used to be like that but now we have this big gap between the 99% and the 1% and the labor unions seem to be working for the elite but not the workers. But still so many of the 99% or middle and lower class vote for the 1%. It comes out like ultimate stupidity or a big scam in a way but it´s neither. It´s just all so...tricky! And people are so angry about everything and everybody are trying to channel the anger somwhere but it just geysers out instead of being carefully targeted. Well I agree with Chomsky in most parts though.

Yes, complicated. And it isn't easier to manage as systems and populations get larger and larger. Education is also a big issue. U.S. is very much a competition culture, x vs. y, winner takes all... that is a problem too.
