What are your thoughts on anti-populism and those that say populism is fascism? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
[–] 4 points 3 months ago*

Populism isn't fascism, but neither is democracy. In general, political systems that are set to make stronger governments, either with a second vote or tuned to just have two parties, makes that the parties don't represent accurately the people.

This makes that people vote against what they fear and not for what they believe.

Democratic decisions should be done by consensus, by negotiating with each point of view trying to get to a compromise or a middle ground.

On top of this, if you have more parties being part of the government in a coalition, corruption is harder since the parties watch each other.

Humans are diverse and can enrich with collaboration. Having two parties, one that say that slaves should be exploted and another one saying that slaves should have some rights, does not represent the slaves points of view and their experience on handling things.

    I am not sure it is a problem with younger generations, I see it, sometimes even more on older people. I can understand that someone close to retirement doest get gains enough for striking, but that's what solidarity is about.

    Why is so difficult to organize a strike (lemmy.world)
     

    I'm kinda frustrated. Living in Europe in a country where you are more or less protected against layouts, were unions are allowed to exist. Jet it is so difficult to get the people to get their head out of their butts to do some solidarity or even improve their own conditions.

    Companies doesn't respect some basic laws and rights, people has been angry for 15 years and always complaining.

    Despite of that, when asking people to organize, join an union or do even at least a day of strike, people start saying that it is not worth it, that it is not important. The most they accept doing is stop to work a couple of hours to complain at the gate like a kids rant.

    I know for sure that workers have power. The company makes more money per worker and day that double de amount they pay us, so stopping working would hurt them more than us. Why do people lacks so much class conciseness? It is even more hurting for people working at a desk with a suit and doing economics, it's like they think of themselves as if they were some kind of privileged when are just workers. Why do people chicken out so much when going on strike?

    At this pace they will make owning a compyter illegal. Being everything a remote service governments doesnt need to preoccupy by cryptography and business will not have to worry about addblockers and user profiling will be easier.
