How can we grow past classical liberalism and fascism that’s failing the needs of working families and young people?

People don’t have time to deal with liberals and conservatives trading barbs while working together privately.

Unions. It's beyond time for a union renaissance. For way too long we have let them talk out both sides of their mouths with no effective counterpoint. If we are going to make a case for heeding the citizen over the corporate lobbyist, we need to build back the institutional muscle, we need to organize and work as co-workers, neighbors and communities, build lines of communication, human networks that can come together as a society.

Also, crown corp competitors in every sector with unhealthy market concentration. Unions first though.

Raise awareness about how much of the right-wing echo-chamber is being astroturfed by foreign and pro-corporate interest groups. Meaning, get CSIS involved in publicly unmasking these efforts, and expose them for the grifts they are.

Let no politician or influencer be able to promote this kind of bullshit, without making themselves look complicit in the scam.

I'd also suggest pushing for electoral reform. The liberal party periodically campaigns on it over the decades, it's finally time we hold them to account.

France decapitated the imperialists and yet are still imperialists. China de-powered all the capitalists, yet are the most powerful capitalist force on the globe.

30% of any society have leanings toward various forms of imperialism. Progressive education or severe communism doesn't stop it.

We need to start viewing right wing ideology as the result of a biological state. To me, it's obvious it is.

There are studies on brain formations in the right wing mind. The parts of there mind that can react to perceived danger, and interpret facial expression or emotionally react to perceived facial animosity is statistically overdeveloped.

This is part of the reasons they wind up in high commission sales jobs. They can read faces. It's also part of the reason they're inexplicably intolerant to race/gender/non conformity.

Their state of being is predictive, they can be spotted and classified behaviourally.

This state of being is destroying the planet. We need better science in order to mitigate it.

Exactly punish the anti-proportional representation liberals like the elite Justin Trudeau who was economically rightwing.
