The political left is the cause of much backwardness and misery throughout history, it is supported by Marxism, a theory that has repeatedly shown us its ineffectiveness and uselessness, a theory that, in my opinion, died and was buried on December 26 of 1991 when the URSS was dissolved.
The left reinvented itself, it seems that they realized that the so-called "working class" was not going the way that Karl Marx thought it would, Marx thought that the working class was going to live worse and worse and that Socialism / Communism were going to rescue them, however, the opposite happens... Currently the working class lives better and better and has more and more opportunities to get ahead in a Capitalist system, on the other hand Socialism has an economic model that may work in the VII century, therefore has a great disadvantage against Capitalism, which is currently the only economic system that really works and so the statistics say, that's why the Social Democracy gained more strength and is the representative system of the left In countries like the United States, France and Germany, this is why Socialists are now focusing on supporting more and more minorities, such as refugees, feminists, and the LGBT movement.
Let's talk about "The new left", the modern left, we know that social democracy is a branch of Marxism that is based on promoting "social justice" having a capitalist economy, unlike socialism, they fixed a very big problem of socialism that is that as an economic system is an absolute disaster, now, the social-democracy has the problem that it leans more toward socialism than towards capitalism, besides generating unnecessary problems that the "right" would not generate, the best example is the refugee crisis, letting in people who have no values or culture similar to those of their people, many of them in fact hate the occidental lifestyle and leaving aside that many are illiterate even in their own language, this causes a tremendous social problem and makes these countries suffer an increase of insecurity, in fact, now Sweden is the rape capital in the world, and of course, they must maintain these refugees economically with the taxes of the nation that they already squandered while maintaining free services, when they should not be free.
That is why the social democracy is weakening, the working class is no longer eating the story and the problems generated by the Marxist systems make them lose more and more popularity, not to suffer much of this they have been forced to support to any minority that exists, from immigrants to transexuals, because by supporting them, a mass of voters is guaranteed, since most of the feminists, LGBTs and refugees will vote for the left because they offer them some "support", in the case of feminists and the famous gender ideology that has been a cancer for society in recent times, I quote and recommend a book written by Agustín Laje and Nicolás Márquez called "El Libro Negro de la Nueva Izquierda", where they explain and argue against third-wave feminism and the lie of gender ideology, to the point of literally denying with statistics and realities each one of the arguments that These movements have, that many are not, we must also say. All this without counting the absurd ideas that this movement has, such as forcing men to urinate while sitting, and the fact that they seek freedom and equal rights in countries where they already have them, do not say anything about the situation of women in countries of the Middle East where they are treated as second class citizens or on the women of Africa where they mutilate their genitals, to support this the left has arrived, they put aside the class struggle and replaced it with the struggle of genders.
With the LGBT something very funny happens, they have in their flag the comunist Ernesto "El Ché" Guevara when he was a homophobe and even came to create a concentration camp. "The work will make you men," he said, this person is a symbol of that movement, it's ridiculous, it's as if the Jews had a symbol of Hitler, this shows the lack of culture and information that the people who participate in it have. I, although I do not share their political ideologies, I accept and respect these people because genetics and learning can cause these behaviors, and being the Psychology and Biology who say it, there is nothing to object, but You also have to know how to differentiate between Transexuality and Gender Dysphoria, the latter being a disorder that tends to be confused and it is these people who have truly ridiculous ideas, ideas such as legalizing pedophilia and want to be considered as 6 year old girls when they are men over 50 years old.
Gender ideology is not a tolerant ideology. It is an intolerant ideology that manifests itself when you criminalize all kinds of dissenting thoughts - Nicolás Márquez.
In other words, the political left has needed to support movements that promote absurd and easily rebuttable ideas, has sought to implement a "Cultural Marxism" giving prominence to new "revolutionary subjects" that in this case would be feminists, LGBT community , environmentalists, among others to fill the gap left by that working class that began to worry more about changing phone or car than to change the world supporting a system that has failed again and again throughout history in all possible aspects.
