The sequence
of events concerning the broad right-Wing spectrum politicians of the
West lately, shows their anxiety to maintain the current neoliberal
agenda by all means. Of course, the new wave of terrorist attacks in
Western soil and the huge refugee problem played crucial role.
After the
attack on Charlie Hebdo,
David Cameron acted fast and rushed to "shift" his rhetoric
further to the Right in order to attract voters and crush Farage and
the UKIP nationalists. He made it. He won the elections, although it is highly doubtful that he
will keep his promises for Britain's "independence" from
the EU. On the other hand, from the first moment, his government
rushed to continue the neoliberal agenda to crush what remained from
the social state and social benefits in the UK.
Donald Trump
realized the success of the far-Right rhetoric and decided to take
the lead in the GOP through the attack on Mexican immigrants. Indeed,
his popularity started to gain a new dynamic.
Then, we had
the November 2015 Paris attacks which was the main event that boosted
Marine Le Pen's percentage on the French regional elections, and the
San Bernardino shooting in California.
Right after
the Bernardino incident, Le Pen's National Front marked an
unprecedented victory in the first round of the French regional
elections. Sarkozy wasn't so effective as it was Cameron in the UK to
attract voters with his rhetoric.
Seeing Le
Pen's huge success in France, and on the occasion of Bernardino
incident, Trump expanded his far-Right rhetoric against Muslims.
Especially inside GOPs, Trump leads the race of the increasing
Right-wing conservatism in the US.
A huge race
has started between all the politicians across the Right-wing
spectrum in the West. In their effort to gain votes, everyone adopts
the extreme far-Right rhetoric, slipping dangerously towards racism
and fascism. But make no mistake, none of them will abandon the
big-capital neoliberal agenda, even if they have to retreat from
their "patriotic" stance after their possible election.
"... like so many of us smaller "thousandaires" out there who, if we could magically make a few billion, would immediately use it shove our big, boney, middle fingers up the anuses of the establishiment. "
ReplyDeleteYou got it all wrong I think. Trump is an opportunist, plays with people's fear. If he ever get elected you will discover that the only thing he will work for, is to make his class richer and the poor, poorer. You will discover that he is actually another big trick of the establishment itself to maintain and increase its power over people.
