Konservative i sin nuværende form er helt sikkert den flinke fyr i den borgerlige klasse, der tiltrækker folk, der enormt gerne vil se sig selv som de pæne borgerlige; det er bare ikke tilstrækkeligt med de udfordringer, vi står overfor. Konservative har ikke længere særligt meget vægt på Gud, Konge og Fædreland andet end på papiret; partiet er reelt Radikale Venstre light: samme globalisme og progressivisme, bare lidt langsommere, da Konservatives nuværende linje følger overtonvinduet, som den radikale venstrefløj har lavet spillereglerne for — og det vil altid ende i progressivisme, aldrig konservatisme. Men der skal da nok være stemmer i det. #politik #konservatisme #samfund

The Evolution of Modern Leftism Left-wing and woke ideology often presents itself through noble ideas: compassion, justice, equality, and progress. But progress toward what? That question is rarely asked. To understand modern leftism, we must look back nearly 200 years. Ideas evolve like viruses: when society develops resistance to one form, academics modify it until it becomes more contagious, destructive, and difficult to recognize. Hegel proposed the dialectic: opposing ideas—a thesis and antithesis—collide to produce a synthesis. Marx applied this framework to economics through dialectical materialism. He viewed history as a struggle between the “haves” and “have-nots” and predicted that workers would overthrow capitalism and create a communist utopia. When Marx’s vision failed, Lenin reworked it. He argued that workers needed to be led by an elite revolutionary class. This produced the idea of perpetual revolution: after one oppressor is defeated, the next ruling class becomes the new enemy. The struggle never ends. The Frankfurt School later adapted Marxism for the West. It argued that capitalism’s material success had made workers less receptive to revolution, so the focus shifted to culture, education, media, religion, and the arts. The goal became a gradual “long march through the institutions.” Postmodernists expanded the theory further, arguing that power exists everywhere—not only between rich and poor, but also between men and women, racial groups, heterosexual and homosexual people, and colonizers and the colonized. The personal became political. Intersectionality then presented oppression as a matrix in which every identity adds another layer of victimhood and moral authority. At one extreme is the idealized figure of a poor, disabled, rural, transgender lesbian woman from a developing country. At the other is the supposed ultimate oppressor: a wealthy, educated, able-bodied, straight, white, cisgender, Christian, Western man living in a city. Modern progressivism, in this view, is essentially neo-Marxism in drag.

In April, a significant gathering of progressive leaders, including Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, took place in Barcelona to support democracy, while highlighting Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez as a prominent figure opposing Trumpism through bold political moves and significant social reforms that have strengthened Spain's progressive stance in Europe. #Progressivism #Leadership #Democracy #BR #MX #ZA #ES #US #VE #CN

Last weekend, Barcelona hosted the "IV Summit in Defense of Democracy," which brought together progressive leaders who identified global political issues accurately but failed to propose bold solutions, illustrating the left's current predicament of being overshadowed by a radical right that effectively captures public discontent and imagines alternatives to the status quo. #Democracy #Progressivism #SocialJustice #ES #BR #CO #AR #MX #CL #US
