From the Socialism or Your Money Back blog
Echoes
Socialism or Barbarism! Which?
Citizens, of what once was the Third Reich,
Voting in numbers for the barbaric;
Can they be persuaded, one day, to switch
From all parties left and right and centre?
They’ve fundamental grievances of course,
Yet bitter politics lead to remorse
Once nationalism’s allowed to enter
Everyday discourse. Politicians try,
But their best intentions fail hour by hour
Because capital holds the real power:
And patriotism is its biggest lie.
The ballot box can leave pundits aghast,
When it’s an echo chamber for the past.
D.A.
