An astute social democratic leader would seize this once in a lifetime opportunity to prosecute a visionary transformation agenda, complete with structural reforms, that shakes off shackles of neoliberalism & aligns us more along the lines of Scandinavian nations
@albomp.bsky.social isn’t capable

More a change in economic policy from Keynsian to Friedman/NeoLib. Ie from commitment to progressive taxation to investing at the top because of belief a bigger pie would mean more for all.
What actually trickled down was mobile phones and inequality

It is about the shift from redistributive economy in 50s -70s to regressive economic policy since 80s. Social mobility opportunity that I and other boomers had, has been shut off.
These economics increase poverty, increase illness, reduce education and reduce productivity for those affected.

No, it's really not. It is a system that favours the already wealthy, no matter what age they are. Plenty of really poor boomers and gen X round my way.

100% Always the same culprits, wealthy people and companies that do not pay appropriate tax, corporate welfare, failure to redistribute.

For me definitions are irrelevant. Anyone who supports the genocide is immoral. Including, disgustingly, the Australian government.

When a government seems ‘captured’ and flips on a range of issues of immense importance to you, you walk. You walk towards an independent or a party that will at the very least represent your values and hold the government to account. You work alongside them, because the stakes are so high. 🌏🔥🕊️

Companies that don't pay tax shouldn't be eligible for govt subsidies or govt contracts.

Yet other governments are able to demonstrate integrity.
This is what I expected to see.

However, for him to get away with lying, cheating, killing people by withdrawing aid. suggests a supporting system not totally averse to these 'values'.
