Carl Benjamin: They're not wrong, to be honest…

They're not wrong, to be honest. We have a horrific problem with crabs-in-the-bucket mentality in Britain. Many can't admit that the country is doing very badly because we have allowed it to do badly, and instead of building things up, they would rather stew in their resentment and tear people down.

I know it's a strange thing to say, but I am not despondent about the mid term results. The American right is, in some ways, the victim of its own success with Trump. The ability to slough off the foreign interests and corruption was made impossible because of the victory. Now, the way is opened up to remove these factors for future campaigning so the same mistakes won't be made twice. It's painful but necessary.

This is why fascism and nazism haunt the left-wing mind in a way that normal people just don't think about. They want all the groundwork done that could possibly enable fascism, just for their plan. It's completely believable that someone could hijack such a system for other ends.
