Miscellaneous-the tragedy and limits of the left in the system

1. Fundamentally speaking, it is the predicament of the left in the system. The democratic election of the bourgeoisie itself is a golden yuan politics. The left-wing party cannot get rid of the support and cooperation of capitalists and bankers, but because its own ideology must stand on the other side, there is often great tension. South Korea’s previous left-wing presidents have had similar predicaments and therefore have similar destinies; right-wing parties have little pressure in this regard.

2. The global right turn is indeed gaining momentum.

3. The strength of the reactionary forces (including behind-the-scenes operations in the United States) and the compromise tendency of the left in the system have led to the fact that economic data is too easy to be shorted, so that it is easy to lose the approval rate and cause dissatisfaction among the people (which should be left-wing basics).

4. How to unite the people? The masses are not the “natural” basic disk of any power. If the left-wing parties lose their flesh and blood ties and strong organization, they will easily go to the side of nationalism and conservatism.

5. The global right-wingers are characterized by holding a national flag and calling for a great army.

6. After the left-wing party that opposes power relations becomes the ruling party, it will be restrained everywhere because of this structural position, because the position of dissidents is often advantageous. This issue needs to be taken seriously; but the first thing to do is to move towards The direction of the revolution is open to itself, because if the left becomes a "conservative" by itself, it will only be a matter of time before failure.

7. The director was born in a big bourgeois family. Her father came across Marx and Fromm's books during the American social movement in the 1960s and changed the course of the family. This is an interesting case of "conversion" intellectuals.

8. There are really no secrets in the information age, and the telephone door is okay everyday.

9. The BGM of this film is well received.

10. Rousseff is worthy of being a guerrilla, he looks like a soldier; Lula is worthy of being a worker. The leftists in the system still lack a bit of military ethics and a bit of Li Kui’s spirit of "killing to Tokyo and taking the bird’s seat." The first half of this sentence is as important as the second half, Lula, Rousseff, Allende, Roh Moo-hyun, etc. What if people do not control the barrel of a gun and "take the bird's seat"?

11. "Class struggle exists. However, it is the wealthy class I live in that initiated this struggle and will win the final victory."-Warren Buffett.

12. We will respond to him with actions.

The Edge of Democracy quotes

  • Petra Costa: The fact that there is no evidence that he's the owner of the apartment is considered proof of his attempt to hide it, and this proof is used as evidence that he's the mastermind of the scheme.

  • Petra Costa: The fact is that, during the years that my parents were in hiding, when their friends were being tortured and killed, were the years that the construction company my grandfather co-founded... most grew. I see that the story of this crisis, of this wall, runs directly through my family. On one side it's the story of the establishment that my grandparents were part of. On the other, it's the story of my parents and the left they dreamt of, and which is crumbling. But it's also the story of a broken country that we're inheriting.
