In search of a global-scale alignment of the progressive forces

A difficult challenge - although necessary - for the battle against neo-Feudal tyranny

What makes the European Leftist movement weak against the neoliberal establishment and the far-Right, is that its main components are still dedicated to a progressive internationalism through the illusion that this can be achieved inside today's European structures. This is an illusion which also splits the Left not only in Greece, but the European Left as a whole too. Which means double damage for the progressive forces who become an easy victim for the monstrous mechanisms of the EFD.

...

The moderate Left across the Europe needs to understand that the support of the nation-state structure at this crucial moment, is absolutely necessary for the resistance against the devastating neoliberal internationalism, which is based on the free market cannibalism. The Left must fight for the survival of the nation-state, not in nationalistic terms of course, but in terms of guaranteeing the most fundamental rights of the citizens.

The return to the nation-state structure is not a barrier to the global cooperation and alignment of the progressive forces. On the contrary, it could function as a protection shield to the onslaught of neoliberalism and the neo-Feudal tyranny that follows.

...

still there is a unique opportunity in the Western world with the surprisingly strong momentum of Bernie Sanders prior to this year's US elections. Bernie has a long way to go until the US presidency, but the American people seem to realize their power on overthrowing the regime of the establishment.

Despite all the problems, it is certain that the European Left watches the political developments on the other side of the Atlantic, with growing attention. In case that the crazy dream become true with Bernie as the next US president, the perspective of joint progressive forces against the neo-Feudal tyranny, could become much more probable.
