Episode 27: leftist fork in the road
Which left is the right left? What a weird question, but relevant.
The world is going to hell and we're trying desperately to find tweets where someone said something bad 6 years ago- it's hardly the height of political activism, is it.
My question is a genuine one and it applies across the whole spectrum of the left: why should I back your politics if you're immediately going to hate me because I don't already, how is it going to help us win and effect positive change?
I'm not afraid to admit that I don't know what the heck to do right now. We're in the most unprecedented times, further even beyond the dystopian mini story I still haven't finished writing... it's insane.
But here we are, and rather than fighting or shutting down any part of the left my genuine question is, say your side is the best one: why, and how are you going to sort this mess out?
We have to stop fighting- if we don't all we're going to do is talk about how great we'd be if only WE had the driver's seat, all the while we're chained up in the boot as the tories head towards the cliff edge like a coke & corruption fuelled Thelma & Louise.
So- let's do it. Let's talk about why people's politics are best, how, and how we could possibly just... be adults and work together.
That, or we can just sit outside of power bitching, yeah...?
