A campaign lesson for progressive leadership in Australia : Comments

By Gerard May, published 24/11/2014

De Blasio is not your typical democrat that we are used to viewing from the other side of the world; like Bill Clinton or Barrack Obama. Instead, he is a genuine progressive.

You might ask Mr May: Where does de Blasio stand on the US (and Australia) getting into a religious war in the Middle East?

EvanWhitton,

if he is like many regressives he will be happy to bring it to his homeland.

Is New York already bankrupt, like that other hotbed of progressive thinking, [what ever the hell that is], California, or is it about to be?

Why fox about with the lower case 'p' word, 'progressive', used over and over again - the code for 'Progressive' as defined by the Progressive Alliance of International Socialism?

'http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressive_Alliance_(political_international)

Why be so sneaky if it is all good for Australia? Oh, that's right, the leftist 'Progressives' already presume to always know what is best for us, it is just that the public cannot be relied upon to know that.

What if these union leaders and Labor politicians could do the right thing, the principled and ethical thing, and declare to the Australian people that they serve another master and do not necessarily have the interests of the Australian people and Australia in mind?

When the revolution comes, eh comrades?

Oh I so agree with you guys, how DARE those miserable serfs think they're entitled to a decent education or a share of the wealth generated by their labors!
What gall, anyone would think they lived in a democracy or something!
God forfend that they get a living wage, or that they have a say in what happens to them!
Why can't they recognise the joys of taking pride in how well their betters live in luxurious splendour at their expense?
What ingratitude, their lords struggle year after year to consume their world and waste all the resources in the search for ever-increasing profit and vainglorious privilege and they, they, the rotters, they expect to have any of it? The scraps from the table should satisfy them, why can't they just accept that and be quiet, it's the natural order after all isn't it?
Honestly, what IS the world coming to?

Randy Credico ran against De Blasio on the platform of putting small tobin tax on all Wall St transactions and they shut him out via media control.

De Balasio is a Wall St man and only tinkers with the edges so the masses are placated and Wall St can continue to loot their economy.
