The radical Totalitarian Progressives and their media collaborators keep claiming that Conservatives are going too far to the Right. They repeat these lies with effective propaganda techniques. Some so called Conservatives, who are really Progressives, agree with this assessment. The list includes David Frum, Kathleen Parker, Chris Buckley and David Brooks. Barack Hussein Obama is driving up US debt to dangerous levels and employs demagogue 3rd World Liberation rhetoric. The reality of the matter is that Progressives are shifting even more to the Left and thus the appearance of Conservatives moving more towards the Right is totally false.
Left parties are in trouble in the Anglosphere. Here in America, Democrats are doing worse in the polls than at any time in the last 50 years. In Britain, the Labor Party is on the brink of finishing third, behind both Conservatives and Liberal Democrats, in the election next Thursday.
All of which raises the question: What happened to the “third way” center-left movement that once seemed to sweep all before it?
Only a dozen years ago, in 1998, President Bill Clinton enjoyed 70 percent job approval. Prime Minister Tony Blair was basking in adulation in his first full year in office.
Clinton “third way” New Democrats and Blair’s “New Labor” party seemed to have a bright and long future ahead. Clinton’s designated successor, Al Gore, despite some ham-handed campaigning, came out ahead in the popular vote in 2000 and lost the presidency by only some hundreds of votes in Florida. With Blair at its head, Labor won unprecedented re-election victories in 2001 and 2005.
Now, less than a generation later, both New Democrats and New Labour seem defunct.
Read the rest: The Left Loses Its Way by Abandoning ‘Third Way’
The term 3rd Way is very telling. It was coined by none other than Benito Mussolini to describe Fascist economic policies that merged Socialism with elements of Capitalism. Modern Progressives used this term to describe their economic philosophies. They are now abandoning this belief in favor of moving even farther Left. Totalitarian Progressives are now moving away from the policies of IL Duce and towards those of El Comandante Castro.
