Right-wing candidates are the frontrunners in elections marked by economic crisis and division in the ruling socialist ranks.
Fash finally breaking into Bolivia. Bring on the death squads and concentration camps for locals/USAians.
ruling socialist ranks.
Uh…huh
25% inflation sounds pretty socialist to me. Is this a No True Scotsman fallacy?
The problem is that the socialists don’t know how to keep inflation in check. You need someone who knows how the world works to put moderate policies in place.
Instead, we get a tug of war between the fat right and far left, and everything swings from crap to shit in the back-and-forth.
It’s almost as if the centrists would run the country in a balanced way. But we can’t have that, because the leftists lump the centrists in with the fascists, and the rightists lump them in with the socialists.
I guess when the rapist was barred from running, the populist left fell apart.
the fat right
I love this typo.
I should have contrasted with skinny left, I guess. Can’t we just find a healthy weight in the middle?
Except in all the many, many countries where we get a bounce back and forth between centrism/right-wing and far right, which is far more common than the scenario you describe. I don’t understand how you can look at the US and Europe right now, for instance, and think that centrism never gets a look in and its jumping between communism and fascism all the time. And no, regular socialism is not far left. It isn’t just centre-this and then far-this, the middle ground exists in both wings, despite what centrists seem to think
