so called differences between so called leftist or right wing politicians in most modern occidental countries nowadays are a joke, whatever their "side" they re all placed and financed by rich industrials who lead the world with their megacorporations, and whoever is elected, the point is to globalize the world even more until one unique planetary country is built. Politicians are all rich assholes who know media moguls, industrials, journalists , actors, and they all stick together and brainwash the lower social classes.
Most elites lost -again- contact with the realities of the lower social classes and all of them, even if "leftists", are now capitalists. Yeah, even the hippies became capitalists and want nothing to do with the poor or average white man. For some reasons these people prefer the colored immigrant from the other side of the planet, while hating their owns.
Again this is the result of christianity 's death; politics follow their own goals not the goals of God and dont want to protect the people who elected them. New religion is a mix of individualism, hedonism, materialism ,feminism.
