Comment on One Nation overtakes Labor, Liberals in Victoria; Allan’s rating dives
marxismtomorrow@lemmy.today 1 week agoThey don’t care, it’s a party that actually addresses their concerns and offers something different. Victims of Capitalism in decay always turn to populism, because they’re being ignored by the existing system. Sometimes that populism is being done by good people, sometimes its fascists, sometimes it’s both.
In the Imperial fringes like Australia, it’s just fascism doing any kind of talking. There is no actual labour movement despite the alleged political group that has burrowed into the eponymous party, hollowed out the core, and publicly deemed anyone actually pro-labour as antisemitic. So of course the fascist party is the one that will be gaining votes.
Because they declare that the status quo is bad, and most people will resonate with that message.
