General Election – 12 December 2019

All the capitalist parties, be they far ‘right’ or far ‘left’, and all those in between, have no intention of abolishing capitalism.

Every capitalist party accepts the notion that the means to life must be owned—not by all the people—but instead by a tiny minority. And the majority must go to work, and be dependent on a wage—either directly or indirectly—for their livelihood.

The General Election is in a few days and all the capitalist parties have been trying to persuade you that ‘the country’ will be better off if their party is in government.

All the capitalist parties will tell the voters that they have the best ideas, the best policies when it comes to jobs, and health care, and education, and transport, and housing, and defence, and the environment, and everything else.

All the capitalist parties not in government will lay most of the blame for ‘the country’s’ problems at the door of the capitalist party that is in government.

All the parties will claim they will tackle the underlying causes of ‘the country’s’ problems.

All the parties will claim they offer the voter real change.

All the capitalist parties believe it is a natural state of affairs for there to be people with vast wealth, and people who don’t have a pot to piss in.

All politicians believe that ants and people have this in common: Both need a queen (owning class) and workers.

All politicians think there must be leaders and led. And that they possess some innate quality that enables them to play the roll of the former.

Contradictorily, all the politicians say—with a straight face—that they are the servants of the people. If they (or their) party win the vote, they will do what is in the best interest of ‘the country’.
