Thread by @SteB777

This thread was almost totally ignored, I'm a little puzzled as to why. I will deal with my personal position later.

@ZackPolanski's @TheGreenParty and Your Party, are essentially new movements appealing to the same political demographic.

Therefore, in a first past the post system, it is necessary for cooperation, to stop them cancelling each other out in some constituencies, and giving an unnecessary open goal to parties, that do not really represent the people, who they claim to represent.

Next, I dealt with why cooperation and collaboration, as the only way to deal with the global stitch up of powerful and wealthy vested interests, which is putting us on course for global suicide, by driving the climate and ecological emergency.

This cooperation and collaboration or ordinary people, has to exist at many levels, not just political, as opposed to the competitive divide and conquer tactics, which has been used by a tiny, but immensely wealthy and powerful clique to rule over us and is imposed on us.
4/

It is this greedy, unequal and artificially competitive system, which creates the possibility of civilization collapse, if the climate and ecological planetary boundaries are breached, because people won't cooperate to avert catastrophe.
5/

For most of human existence, humans lived in societies where everyone cooperated, they were egalitarian, and resources were shared equally. Maybe >98% of human existence. This is the innate state of human behaviour, when we are not ruled over by powerful gangster like figures.
6/

My position on political parties is that they are anti-democratic, and facilitate powerful cliques of immensely powerful people, ruling over us in an oligarchy, as they only have to corrupt a few party leaders, to gain control of our societies.
7/

I give you the UK Labour Party, founded as a socialist party, to represent the poorest in society (the majority). Currently, the leadership of the Labour Party, is more right wing than Conservative regimes of the past, and they are serving the interests of the oligarchs.
8/

I am not naive, and realize that in a supposedly democratic system, you need a more powerful political party, to supplant the corrupted parties. But as I illustrate, it is only a matter of time, before oligarchs corrupt them, unless they are neutered.
9/

This is why this new political movement, must move towards cooperation, and collaboration. Along with tackling the super rich oligarchs, who corrupt our societies, by taking over the media and corrupting our politics.
10/

These are uncomfortable truths, but we must confront them, so the people can wrest back control of our lives, from greedy oligarchs, who just treat us like livestock, en route to their ambition of becoming trillionaires.
