Stuck in the middle with you.

I've often posterized over the centre ground in politics..is it middle of the road thinking? Taking no particular stance? Passively appeasing the elite whilst throwing crumbs at the disquieted peasants? If the centre ground is taking a position whereby there are greater shares of the spoils, which would seem more central than centrists politicize then Corbyn is our man. He's hardly hard left as speculated. We are not going to rid ourselves of the life destructive capitalism of our age in one massive leap of faith...change takes time and shifting people has to be done gently but which way that shift swings depends on where we stand at the time. With UK politics swung harder to the right of late anything centre of that is going to seem radical but compared to the left of the past or other left leaning countries, it's pretty much a centre playing field. Of course, anything 'taken' from the greedy elite is going to be protested heavily...why, after all, should they provide for all those they have deprived?

So we can look at the middle classes, would they be in that centrist position, kinda wanting more for the poorest but so long as it doesn't take anything from their pockets, kinda wanting a bigger slice of the elitist pie because, let's face it, being up there in a lofty somewhere is significantly more desirable than being all the way down there where the nouveau riche had its origins and certainly don't want those roots planting them firmly in the lower classes again or wanting to stay exactly where they are? The trouble with centrist policies is it's not those at either end who are left out of the discussion, it's those in the disregarded heap at the bottom who are left to fend for themselves, those at the top will always be all right. The biggest question is, is there really such a thing as centrist politics? How can there be equality, social justice and cooperation between those who want it all and those who have too little? The centrist ground is still almost everything for the top 1-10% and perhaps just about enough for the poorest larger % depending if the centrists prop up the right or the left...opportunists maybe? The left under Corbyn has not promised an extreme influx of money flowing to the bottom but rather a public movement of social conciseness to redress the growing imbalance of the neoliberal capitalism of the further right the better right wing who will take as much as we permit them to continue taking. Centrists ground hardly stirs up echoes of the age old revolutionary stance we desperately need to take back the billions of lives lost to greed, corruption and polarized politics between the centre and the right.
