Why does NDP or Green Party always fail find a “real progressive” leader time and time again?
Why do you hide behind the “progressive” label? Why not outright own the fact that you want full blown communism? Cuz it seems you want full blown “everyone is equal but some are more equal than others” communism.
Idk enough about Canadian politics to comment on the NDP or the greens. I’d love to do some reading, I imagine the same exact patterns would play out there as they’ve played out everywhere, which is the people in power are not people for the people.
I don’t want “full blown communism”, idk really what that even means. I’m positive you don’t either because of how you’re talking about it. What I do want is for you to own your business (or your share of the business if you work with others), the building you do your work in (or your share, etc), the tools you use to do your work, the profit of your work, the home you live in, and the right to do with your profits and your stuff as you see fit (as long as it doesn’t endanger anyone else). I also want the money you pay towards your community (taxes) to benefit you and your neighbors far more than it benefits the people who are necessary to administer those community benefits (small, efficient government) or the people who would attempt to corrupt those administers. That means univeral healthcare, that means robust public transit, that means free education and quality libraries and protected parks. That means renewable energy and strong regulatory bodies. That means a no more than sufficient sized military and strong trade bonds. That means easy immigration and emigration, so governments are held accountable via immigration.
I don’t care what you call that, but you have to recognize that as the best future for all people, the most cost efficient future, and the one that would do the most objectively good and good based on any major religion I think.
Communism is a stupid, archaic idea that has not and will never work. It’s no different than chasing an ‘islamic utopia’ or a Mormon ‘zion’.
I’m with you on most of it with some caveats. You can’t build strong social nets and public services with local taxes and then open the floodgates to everyone in the world. You either limit access to the services and benefits for those who didn’t pay or severely limit immigration. Can’t have both simultaneously.
This isn’t to say “immigrants are the reason Canada has issues” but I’m not naive enough to pretend immigration itself doesn’t affect anything at all. Both negative as well as positive.
NDP and Green Party are ideological parties that pretend to be for the workers but they’re only in it for themselves and their unrealistic, fanciful delusions. Exactly as you said, they’re people in power who are not for the people.
