Liberal film maker Michael Moore, who in 2016 predicted Donald Trump\u2019s electoral victory, is again interfering with the premature celebration over Biden\u2019s victory.<\/h5>\n
Yesterday, just\u00a0 five days before the election, Moore sounded the alarm, strongly suggesting that the polls showing Biden with a comfortable lead over Trump are not accurate.<\/h5>\n
In a TV interview Moore said<\/a><\/span>: “The Trump vote is always being undercounted. Pollsters- when they actually call the Trump voter, the Trump voter is very suspicious of the ‘Deep State’ calling them and asking them who they’re voting for.”<\/h5>\n
Moore is devastated by the thought that Trump may continue residing at the same address for another four years, but that does not affect the acuity of his observation. In this peculiar world, a large proportion of Americans are reluctant to admit their support for the elected president. This is not just an American phenomenon. Many Brits won\u2019t admit that they voted Brexit and would probably vote Brexit again. Many Brits wouldn\u2019t admit that they supported the Tories but when they voted, they served up the Labour party its biggest blow in its electoral history. The same happened in Israel\u2019s recent elections. Netanyahu performed far better on election day than in the pollsters\u2019 predictions. The explanation given in Israel was that his voters do not tell the truth to pollsters.<\/h5>\n
History provides us with a manifold of occasions in which the masses pretended to support the regime, the ruling party or a tyrant. What we\u00a0 see in the West currently is the opposite. A large segment of the public is actually fearful of the opposition, of those who are committed to \u2018liberate\u2019 them from their \u2018crypto fascist\u2019 rulers in the name of \u2018liberal values\u2019 and \u2018freedom.\u2019<\/h5>\n
Americans aren\u2019t fearful of Trump, his party, the intelligence services, the NSA, the FBI or the CIA. \u00a0They are actually afraid of the \u2018progressive\u2019 social media giants and their \u2018community standards\u2019. In the USA much of the mainstream media\u00a0 isn\u2019t shy of being one sided and\u00a0 blatantly conceals\u00a0 news that may present the presidential challenger in a negative light. It is even more disturbing that many Americans appear to be fearful of the opposition and its powers over them. This suggests that America isn\u2019t even remotely a free place. In America, as in Britain, the opposition has evolved into a dark, authoritarian force.<\/h5>\n
What is at the core of this authoritarian shift? \u00a0The so-called Left; \u2018liberals\u2019 and \u2018progressives\u2019 are totally removed from the cultural and political core values that made the Left into a meaningful argument. The level of detachment is so severe that most Leftists, progressives and liberals don\u2019t even remember what those values are. The so-called Left has failed to adapt to the new reality. They, evidently, \u00a0seek political\u00a0 power, but they fail to provide a plan that would make the world a slightly better place. It doesn\u2019t take a genius to point at Trump\u2019s dysfunctional operation as much as it is easy to point at Boris Johnson\u2019s comical cabinet but what is it that the opposition offers instead? I would have liked to say \u2018not a lot,\u2019 but the answer is actually \u2018nothing at all.\u2019<\/h5>\n
The humiliating crash of Jeremy Corbyn is probably the most useful window into the evaporation of Left and progressive politics on both sides of the Atlantic. When Corbyn was elected to lead the Labour Party in September 2015, he was regarded as a principled Left ideological icon, a man who had supported the oppressed throughout his entire political career: even those who did not support him agreed that Corbyn was Britain\u2019s leading anti racist. Within days of\u00a0 Corbyn\u2019s nomination as the Labour PM candidate, Corbyn displayed all the traits of a rock star. Millions of young Brits and others around the world saw him as a hero of justice and offered themselves as his avant-garde in his battle for justice and against austerity.<\/h5>\n
Yesterday, the same Corbyn was subject to the final humiliating blow. He was suspended from the party he led until a few months ago. What happened between 2015 and 2020?<\/h5>\n
As soon as Corbyn assumed the lead of Labour both he and his party were subject to relentless attacks by the Israel Lobby and British Jewish Institutions. One after another, Corbyn\u2019s closest allies were targeted. Corbyn didn\u2019t stand up for any of them, or if he did, he made sure to conceal his intervention. Thousands of Labour members were suspended and expelled from the Party for criticising Israel, its lobby, or noting any exceptionalist aspects of Jewish political culture. But throughout the witch hunt, Corbyn remained silent. And when it came to politics, Corbyn couldn\u2019t take a firm position on Brexit or any other matter. It took Corbyn only four years to waste the huge support he had initially\u00a0 and to reduce his party into a tragic act. In those four years, the British Labour Party explored every authoritarian method. It harassed and collected private information about its members, it even spied on its members\u2019 social media accounts.\u00a0 It operated in concert with the police and the Israel lobby\u00a0against its own precious members. During all that time while Corbyn was the leader of the party,\u00a0 not once did he act as a\u00a0 leader and stand\u00a0 up and call for a stop to the madness.<\/h5>\n
Corbyn was suspended yesterday following his reaction to the Equalities and Human Rights Commission\u2019s (EHRC) verdict that Labour had broken the law in its handling of antisemitism complaints during the period when Mr Corbyn was in charge.<\/h5>\n
No one in the treacherous British press dared mention it, but the meaning of this suspension is that even the ex-leader of the Labour party, a person who was a PM candidate last December, is not allowed to express his personal views. All he is allowed to do is to follow the script. Clearly it isn\u2019t just the masses who are terrorised by tyranny of correctness, even the Labour Party and its leadership are subject to the most authoritarian proscriptions. They are commanded to follow a script. The only question that remains open\u00a0 is who writes the script and who translates it into English?<\/h5>\n
But the absurdity is even greater. The\u00a0EHRC was formed by the Labour government back in 2007. Its non-official task was to tackle right wing racism in an attempt to interfere with the British National Front. From its inception, the EHRC was designed to police thought and speech. Looking at Corbyn and the damage the Labour party inflicted on itself, the chickens have come home to roost. Labour has been beaten by the dictatorial machine it invented to police its political enemies.<\/h5>\n
We do not yet know who is going to win the USA presidential election. But even if Biden wins, it is impossible to deny the fact that pretty much every second American voter believes that Trump is the better man to lead the country. The same applies in Britain, even if Labour had won the last election, every second Brit believes that Brexit is the right way forward.<\/h5>\n
I believe that if there is anything left out of the Athenian spirit and Christian ethos that made the West into a precious civilization that inspired others, it is that we must\u00a0 \u2018love our neighbour.\u2019\u00a0 In 2020 loving your neighbour means to agree to disagree, to see a human and humanity in each other. To love your neighbour is to search for that which unites us and to stand firm against those who break us into biological identitarian segments separated by gender, skin colour, sexual orientation etc. To love your neighbour in 2020 is to seek harmony.<\/h5>\n
The Left in its current authoritarian form cannot lead us towards this goal. It is an occupied zone. The Left needs a reset, it needs to delve into its metaphysical origin: into that unifying instinct that is also universal. Corbyn was a star when people believed that he really cared for \u2018the many\u2019 and not \u2018the few.\u2019 He evaporated as a political power when the many understood that he and his party\u00a0were puppeteered by the very few.<\/h5>\n
