Seems like a reasonable enough assessment of the situation to me.

Speaking of greed on a massive world wide scale, and how it has effectively undermined any sense of democratic accountability and any reasonable sense of fairness (and even hope for the usual ordinary every person struggling to make ends meet who now quite rightly vote for Donald Trump and Pauline Hanson's party) why not read this truth-telling essay:

I haven't read anthing written by the the Pilger-like Bruce Haigh for a long time. I read the comments, and all posters, except for one who could pass for Bruce's twin brother when it comes to lack of judgement, said pretty much what I would have said.

I did not read this piece either, but I was highly amused to see this man mention 'morality' and 'ethics' as part of his heading.!

Oops. He has two admirers if you take seriously someone calling himself "Daffy Duck".

He might be anti Australian Has been but sure happy to suck on a life long Govt pension from the ones he despises.

Like ttbn, I stopped reading anything by Bruce Haigh a long time ago. No need. Everything he writes is the same pap and crap variation on a theme. Says a lot about his ideological cant, though.

Whinge whinge whinge.

Socialism is a failed concept, which is why no one is pushing it.
