Wall Street Journal (WSJ) published a story titled “Why Europe’s Left Are Serial Losers” discussing the losing left and it deserves some commentary.

The article brings forth many interesting points but one cannot help but to feel disappointed in the naivety of it. If it’s intended delusion or just stupidity is unclear but we’ll fix it for them.

As a story it at least gets the first parts right:

“The U.K. election was a disaster for the Labour Party, which believed right up until the polls closed that it might return to government. But it was also a major setback for the European mainstream left.

Thursday’s vote continued a dismal recent run for traditional center-left parties. In Greece, the center-left Pasok party was virtually obliterated in January’s elections; in France, President François Hollande’s Socialist party is running third in the polls behind the far-right National Front; in Spain, the Socialist Party is in a four-way tie with a conservative party dogged by corruption scandals and two newcomers to the national stage. In Finland’s recent elections, the mainstream left parties fared poorly, leaving the way open for a new conservative coalition.

Even where center-left parties are in power, the experience is often proving uncomfortable. In Germany, the Social Democratic Party is now the junior partner in a grand coalition, having lost ground in the 2013 election to Angela Merkel’s Christian Democrats. 


Denmark’s Social Democrats are the senior partner in a conservative dominated coalition that has been pushing through reforms opposed by many on the left. In France, Mr. Hollande is trying to deliver tough reforms in the face of stiff party opposition after his initial left-wing agenda backfired. Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi has also had to rely on confidence votes to secure party backing for reforms.”

The left has indeed been in trouble and will continue to be so as they’re simply too mind-numbed to know how to stop digging their own grave (which by the way isn’t a bad thing). So let us move on.

“The common challenge for all of Europe’s center-left parties is to figure out what their role should be in the 21st century. In some respects, they are victims of their own success. Many of the goals for which the left campaigned during the 20th century have been achieved: Most Europeans now have jobs, reasonable standards of housing, free healthcare and education and access to pensions.”

There’s no denying that the left helped build the welfare society we have. They had an active role in making western Europe one of the best places in the world to live in. It is an achievement for which we cannot deny them recognition. Well done indeed. But somewhere along the line a radical shift in priorities took place among the leftist parties of Europe. 


It was as if they all overnight decided that things were too good and that it was time to destroy it; and it was almost as if they took pleasure in doing so. Much like a child who gets excited about destroying the sandcastle she painstakingly built all day long.

“In the cultural sphere, the European left has won major battles for women’s rights, human rights and gay rights. It has yet to identify new causes around which it can rally public support beyond a simplistic Keynesian opposition to “austerity.”

The left’s task is complicated by profound economic and social shifts that have undermined old electoral assumptions. Trade union membership, the traditional bedrock of its support, is declining as traditional labor-intensive heavy industries give way to more services-oriented economies with more flexible work patterns. Today, trade union membership is increasingly concentrated in the public sector.”

At least it is made clear that the left started to focus on nonsense. Issues of no value whatsoever to society. 


A good example of this is gay rights: it benefits only a small portion of society, it doesn’t result in economic growth, more jobs, or increased welfare. Instead the whole LGBTQRSTUVRIEXY, or whatever acronym you fancy, has caused more bureaucracy and a minefield of rules and regulations; making people and organisations scared to death of getting a lawsuit for accidentally offending someone.

The more society allowed the left to fiddle with these minorities and special cases the more ways they found to pander them with; it’s a negative spiral that the left is all too happy to go down with. No matter what the cost they’ll keep on pushing their useless agenda until they finally decompose from within.

Sexual minorities and immigrants aren’t the only things that has kept the left busy. They have also been busy with what they call “human-rights”. Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Assembly etc. are all important and real human rights. There’s no denying that. But when it comes to these rights, the left has instead of securing those rights, worked hard to undermine them. Laws covering completely undefinable matters such as “hate speech” and “discrimination” have been passed across Europe under the disguise of “human-rights”.


As an example, you are no longer allowed to decide who you employ at your own business, a business that you spent your own money and time building. You are given weird criteria which does nothing but make it difficult for you to employ the people your business needs and wants.

You’re also no longer allowed to speak your mind in certain matters without a public witch hunt and a prison sentence. And god forbid if you dare to ask, study or question immigration in any way shape or form. If you do your life as you know it is over.

All this of course only applies if you belong to what they call the majority.

On the opposite end of the spectrum. If one belongs to a minority group, then the left has worked very hard to give you more rights. Even if you don’t deserve them in the first place. 

There are international refugee guidelines, regulations, and treaties signed by the same delusional mob who created them. Allowing criminal organisations to profit on human trafficking while putting the lives of people at risk on the open seas and in some cases while packed into a suitcase. 

This is partly due to the fact that Europe refuses to send these illegals back to wherever they came from. And as long as Europe does not send illegals back due to these so called “treaties”, criminals will have a constant flow of customers, and our countries will get even more mouths to feed. All of this is of course done in the name of “human rights”.

All of the above puts an even stronger stranglehold on our societies and our welfare system. Then again, this whole idea of burning the candle at both ends is in line with their wish to ruin what they once built.

“This has narrowed the left’s core electoral base. It has turned many center-left parties into champions of inefficient bureaucracies and public sector privileges. The U.K. Labour party failed partly because it displayed little interest in or understanding of the private sector.

The global financial crisis has added to the challenges facing center-left parties. Some parties—notably those in the U.K., Spain, Portugal, Ireland and Greece—paid a heavy electoral price for the misfortune of being in office when disaster struck. But many have also struggled to adapt to the new economic reality in which all governments must find ways to reduce debts and revive growth.”

It is wrong to say that this all has narrowed the left’s core electoral base, instead it would be better to say that the left themselves chose a new core electoral base. All imaginable degenerates, couch-potatoes, sexual minorities and social justice warriors are the left’s new core electoral base. And they’re extremely happy with the left. The left allows them to go on about their day without contributing to society. 


One part of this core electorate only cares about that they get their welfare cheque each month so that they can keep on reporting people to the police for their opinions, and whine on online forums about the injustices of the world. 


The other part is happy as long as they can block a few city streets a few times a year while waving a rainbow flag and portraying to the world that they belong to some sexual minority.

Meanwhile the old core electoral base of the left who work hard every day to ensure that they do their part to help society forward are left sucked dry and ignored. All they see is the prosperity built by their parents and grandparents given away to people who never did anything to deserve it nor have any interest in ever contributing to it. 



These immigrants will happily enjoy what is given to them and stay unemployed. This while the left concocts excuses such as racism, xenophobia or bigotry to explain how their new “workforce immigrants” are a failure.

“Tax burdens across Europe are already at the limits of what society will tolerate, which means there is limited scope for the redistributionist policies that have always been at the core of the left’s agenda. Governments are instead being forced to balance the books via spending cuts and overhauls to make economies more flexible, boost productivity and encourage investment.

This is difficult territory for the left. Some look upon Tony Blair as a role model. The U.K.’s former prime minister won three elections in a row by repositioning the Labour Party as pro-business and free markets. But his relevance to today’s challenges is limited. 


His achievement was to reconcile his party to Margaret Thatcher’s overhauls; his own domestic reform successes were meager, as shown in an autobiography whose final chapters are a manifesto of unfulfilled ambitions.Besides, his years in office coincided with a global boom, far removed from today’s tough economic climate.”

It true that the tax burden across Europe is at the limits of what a society can tolerate, but the left refuses to see this reality. It is absolutely impossible to support a welfare system while you, through mass immigration, saturate a society with more people taking from the system than there are people contributing to it. It’s an equation that even makes sense to a six year old. 


The average working men and women of Europe have been saying this for decades and the established political parties have ignored it, no one more so than the left. It’s no wonder that people have had enough and that they’re voting on something new. Unfortunately it has take a few too many decades for them to get angry enough to do so.

“What’s more, today’s leaders must confront a phenomenon Mr. Blair never faced: the rise of populist parties that are eating into the left’s traditional working-class support. These include leftist parties such as Spain’s Podemos and right-wing nationalist parties such as the Sweden Democrats, which took 13% of the votes in last year’s election.

Indeed in many countries, right-wing and left-wing populists are becoming hard to distinguish. In the U.K., the Labour party was wiped out in its traditional stronghold in Scotland by the Scottish National Party, a nationalist party that is economically well to Labour’s left. In Greece, the radical left Syriza party shunned centrist parties to go into coalition with the right-wing nationalist Independent Greeks. Conversely, many far-right parties, including France’s National Front and Hungary’s Jobbik, want the state to play a much greater role in the economy.”

These parties aren’t populist, they’re what the left and the right once used to be. They are parties who focus on the people they’re intended to serve rather than some delusional ideas of a utopia that will never exist. Calling these parties populist, extreme right or extreme left is idiotic to say the least. It just goes to show how corrupt the minds are among journalists as well as politicians.

The rest of the WSJ piece follows the very same pattern of dancing around the truth. It fails to address the real change that has happened in Europe. A change that is made up of many factors.

If we turn back time a few decades and look at Sweden in the 1950 - 1980 as an example. Those decades were exceptionally good for the Social Democrats in Sweden. They were allowed to build what many countries around the world envied. 


They had everything a country could wish for. Low crime, low unemployment, a welfare system that covered everything, the best schools in the world and an industrial base that created wealth for the country. It was in much as close to a utopia one could get. Back then the left in Sweden and the rest of Europe had one key ingredient that they have completely forgotten about. Patriotism.

Back in the day Social Democrats and other leftist governments across Europe were patriotic and nationalistic. They took pride in their people, their culture and the achievements they had accomplished. Countries across Europe invested in defence, and children were though at a young age to be proud of who they are and where they’ve come from. People learned to be proud and to defend what is theirs.

Suddenly all this stopped. Today that patriotic pride and care for the future generations is gone. It’s almost become a sin. Especially among the left. The only thing they cares about is spreading a sense of guilt for our success, our privileges and our history. They constantly undermine what generations before us worked hard to achieve. They want to take it all and give it away. All while still expecting us to stupidly keep on working hard, pay our taxes and to do as we’re being told.

What they completely forgot is that the people of Europe aren’t stupid. They’ve been here before. They’ve seen oppressive and greedy elitist cliques try to fill their pockets while engineering reality in order to suit their need and to secure their hold on power. It might have taken them some time to wake up but that’s happening right now.

The left and the old right have become a homogeneous political elite only different in name. The people have spoken and they’ll speak louder and louder across the continent. In Finland the new-right entered government, in Sweden it keeps on growing, in France the same thing is happening and in the UK we already saw what could have happened had the election system been a bit different.

The new-right is here and we’re here to stay. We will take back what’s ours and we will end the tyranny and destruction of the left and the old right. Once we do that we'll make things right.

The sun of the new-right is just peaking over the horizon. Once we get Europe to see the light there’s no stopping us. Until then it’s on each and everyone of us to wake up as many as we possibly can to enjoy the new dawn.
