    It’s odd because the ”slide” is overseen by the political alternative to the outright Trumpian fascism, voted in on a mandate of indifference to do maintenance on an economy in inescapable decline. Just wait until Farage takes power after the next general election.

      Labour were voted in on a mandate of “change” specifically. Literally, their one word slogan used during campaigning. Now, obviously they’re the single transferable party, so nothing was actually going to change, but I do want to make sure no-one forgets that was their one promise.

      In capitalist electoralism, all “sides” are subsumed by the needs of capital. Imperialism and neo-colonialism have stripped the last bit of fat from the corpse of the global south, and now the psychopaths turn their gaze homeward and begin to cannibalize their own. Our only hope is to drop the fake divisions of left and right and organize together as the people against the parasitic ruling class.
