					<description><![CDATA[Some of us do change as we get older.  It&#039;s only in unsophisticated countries that political parties have evolved into political tribes where it becomes out of the question to leave one to join the other.  

Of course people have done it, even MPs have done it.  Although I have my own opinions about your current choice of European political parties, and some similarities, I thank you for taking the time to reply.  Best Wishes]]></description>

I was not referring to political beliefs (which I agree are not absolute &quot;like primary colours&quot;) but to the processes behind the phenomena themselves. Again - important to specify, even if they do not exclude each other, to make a clear and fair argument.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Fascism is when capitalism feels threatened and turns to socialism to save itself. It is the Left, obsessed with a future without history that incites fascism. Global collectivism is totalitarian and corporations expect to dictate national dissolution. Both share an interest. It is the Left which refuses to learn, self-righteous, sanctimonius, personal, emotional and anti-human. 

This is never as extreme as when the means of production evolve away from central control. 

Which is why the new symbol of the Right is the solar panel. And why AD and company despair.

					<description><![CDATA[Kev, you&#039;re not the only one with this perspective. Just don&#039;t go rogue if you truly believe the merits, such an attitude is not just self-defeating but induces one to suspect either a destructive agenda determined by hostile forces OR a limit to political flair. 

The name of the game here is George Soros and his skills with the tactics of the Frankfurt School and Aulinsky&#039;s rule book. 

It is perfectly decent and right to retrieve the nation state as the only place where democracy is exercised. Yes, the media are at a loss, and this because their efficacy and velocity is now totally outdated. 

But it will take more than simple denigration of Obama&#039;s neo-liberalism to critique and object Dugin&#039;s global thesis. 

Brexit does not have to happen if the EU is restored to its founders&#039; intent, an instrument for sovereign states. Fact is, it is now clear what global collectivists truly want, a Maoist counterpart of the Chinese superstate. From TTIP to the science of consent, it&#039;s becoming ridiculously evident how ideology concocted by the New Left turned so sour in three decades. 

There are some in this blog who won&#039;t have anything other than their dogma. They will lose.

					<description><![CDATA[I despair. It&#039;s all lost in brainwashed translation. 

Globalism is a form of fascist corporatism being brought about through liberal, collectivist and any other means and values that suit their global aims. Besides, political beliefs are not absolute like primary colours, where red is red and blue is blue. With politics, you go far enough to the left and you&#039;ll find yourself on the right.

On a much, much higher geopolitical level, the fascio symbol is commonplace wherever they&#039;ve chosen to lurk. But you won&#039;t find that in any of your categorical textbooks.]]></description>
