They absolutely were, without them there’s no rhetoric of “oh the other right wing party left us without money so we need to raise taxes to pay back debts”, they’re then also free to do all the unpopular shit to make sure they’re not re-elected and there’s money again to steal. It’s a back and forth team effort.
Captured opposition that wasn’t supposed to win

Calling Labour and/or US Democrats “captured opposition” takes away their complicity and agency.
They are just both right wing parties which do not represent your interests, and they never will.
Politics is a dead end. The only true change we will see in this world will come from revolution.
