<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\nNigel Farage, Britain\u2019s Donald Trump character, is by far the most significant man in British politics. In just a few weeks he has gathered huge political momentum. In tomorrow\u2019s European Parliament elections he appears likely to score more votes than Labour and the Conservatives combined. Farage stood up against the entire political establishment,\u00a0including the media and the commercial elites and has promised to change British politics once and for all. So far, it seems he is winning \u00a0on all fronts.<\/h5>\n
How it is that once again a Right wing populist has won the minds and hearts of working people? How is it possible that Jeremy Corbyn, who was perceived by many of us as the greatest hope in Western politics, has managed, in less than three years, to make himself an irrelevant passing phase?\u00a0 How is it possible that the Right consistently wins when the conditions exist for a textbook socialist revolution?<\/h5>\n
Unlike political commentators, my explanation for this reoccurring political phenomenon is of a metaphysical nature.<\/h5>\n
The Left\u2019s vision of temporality is a linear structure of historical progress that proceeds from \u2018a past\u2019 to \u2018a future.\u2019 Left ideology is structured around an ever progressing time line. The Left always promises to make things better in the future, to fight austerity, to care for the many not the few, to bring about equality and tolerance, etc. None of this is happening at present.\u00a0 This leaves the Left as a promise that is supposed to fulfil itself in an imaginary \u2018tomorrow.\u2019<\/h5>\n
But this is not how the Right\u2019s political argument is structured. In fact the Right and Fascist argument is far more sophisticated from a metaphysical perspective.\u00a0\u00a0In my recent book,\u00a0Being in Time,<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0I contend that the Right ideologist understands that for the working class, utopia is \u2018nostalgia.\u2019 Trump won his voters\u2019 trust by promising to make America great again. He vowed to plant the past in the future, reversing the time line. He promised to march America backward. Nigel Farage is using the same tactic, appealing to the same sentiments. He promises to make Britain a kingdom again not just a corner island in a dysfunctional globalist setting, a.k.a the EU. Farage is riding on the longing for a better past.\u00a0 Corbyn was a political star only because he is a nostalgic character, an old lefty. For a time, he also reversed the time line, but neither he nor any of his advisers were clever enough to grasp the secret behind the \u2018Corbyn revolution\u2019. They let a magical moment of\u00a0popularity\u00a0\u00a0evaporate. Corbyn has become a clich\u00e9. His approval rating is 25%, not exactly a promising for a candidate for prime minister.<\/h5>\n
Within the context of Left thinking, past, present and future are chronological, set to follow each other in consecutive order. Within Right wing philosophy, time\u2019s tenses change positions irregularly. Trump and \u00a0Farage put the \u2018past\u2019 in the future. They promise to march us back. They appeal to the masses because the human spirit, in its search for unity, transcends linear chronology. The Right wing ideologist capitalises\u00a0<\/strong>on the human search for essence, for a logos and for transparency. In this regard, humans are historical creatures. They are capable of seeing the future in the past and vice versa.<\/h5>\n
Can the Left, in its current from, win the trust of the people? I think it is unlikely. The Left, as I describe it above, is removed from the human spirit. It is in a state of detachment. For ethics, equality and tolerance to prevail, we need a profound study of the human spirit not lame discussions of dialectical materialism.<\/h5>\n
