Tweedledum & Tweedledee

Readers in the USA, for example, can substitute Democrat & Republican for Labour & Tory in the letter below.

LABOUR and Tory supporters are all culpable in the continuing iniquities of the capitalist system. To argue whether this or that action would have happened under the alternative administration is mere sophistry and navel gazing.

Capitalism continues under whichever party is in power.

Both parties are quite prepared to sanction attacks on ordinary people – the disabled, the unemployed, and workers in general.

Both parties are prepared to sanction illegal warfare to accomplish an end that benefits a tiny minority of the world's population. Who benefitted from the post-war contracts awarded to western companies after the western allies disassembled Iraq and took down a despot who was originally put in power by the same western allies?

If any of this is wrong, please tell me.
