  1. Where do you think this ends, Lorne? Our political caste has broken faith with our people to embrace neoliberalism. The Left stands abandoned, vacant, completely undefended. Today's NDP is a dark farce. We need a new party of the Left, one speaking to the circumstances and perils of the 21st century, that will push these political dregs back, out of their way.

    1. I have often felt, Mound, that the resurgence of neoliberalism really took off with the fall of communism, the last ideology that offered any threat. Perhaps what we need is a new ideological threat to enable us to return to a time when unions and social spending were embraced as a counter to to that ideology. The problem with a new Left, it seems to me, is that people have become so conditioned through complicit media messaging that a new party would be dismissed, as Harper likes to say, as 'risky and dangerous.' One thing is certain: the winner-takes-all mentality of unfettered capitalism will never give up anything unless it is threatened or forced to.
