from personal experience, both sides of politics is full of intelligent, inspirational, caring, hardworking, ignorant, fanatic, mean, dedicated, corrupt, principled, honourable, lazy, fucked up and bigoted people. And regardless of the ideology, it all comes down to people. Even the best ideology cant make a beauracracy successful if the individuals managing and running it simply dont care
It is simplistic, but i feel that the right blames the government for everything and the left blames the corporations and the wealthy for everything. This is just silly, the government and the corporations are more or less the same people anyway. I disagree with both views, i think its up to the general population to start thinking and taking responsibility for their own self and community.
Currently i am not a member of any political party, but i have more or less supported the greens for the past few years. I consider myself to be, more or less, an anarcho socialist. Effective and meaningful change doesnt come from policy and laws, it comes from everyday culture and how we treat ourselves and each other. I believe in people, and i think that people are basically good and capable. But brainwashed and lazy through an institutionalised process. People can not participate in a democracy if they remain uniformed, apathic, and disengaged. Threatening someone with punishment in order to ensure conformity and order is a relic of our recent authoritarian religious past (and i guess still present for some). The mindset there is fear, and it is this mindset of 'fear' that we really need to change through empowering people to become active, engaged 'citizens' that are responsible for their own lives.
