The Left Mic - The Social Podcast

Why is it when people talk about socialism in the mainstream they refer to socialist principles from a hundred years ago but never refer to modern social democratic principles? We may also ask why people are so gullible that despite labelling politicians liars, they still believe them when they bad mouth social democratic ideologies.It is time we woke up to the greed that produces the propaganda that somehow convinces people to vote against their own interests over and over again.This is the Left Mic!

Reading classic stories is akin to wearing a jacket made 100 years ago. It fits but the style is different, the cut is a little off and the colours are slightly faded. Yet it tells us a lot about a world that no longer exists. People felt comfortable in these styles. The material was different. The cut was perhaps longer and rose up the neck a bit more. It gives us insight.This story is fascinating. How quickly feelings can change. How odd that perspectives can reflect such meaningfully diverse thoughts, even among people who know one another well, as is often the case with couples. Then the sense of loss that is usually only felt too late.O. Henry lived a challenging life and one which today most people would probably consider impossible, yet it was true.FYI: Please forgive my terrible accents.

A really large number of people have decided they don’t want a democracy anymore and that is why they are voluntarily choosing to withdraw and let the far-right bring back their latest brand of authoritarianism. This is the level of apathy our society has descended to. When people shout for the application of real democratic values the right-wing propagandists brand them left-wing extremists and the moderate liberals have started to believe it. When did we become so fragile and defensive?What has become of the world? We may get to find out. Does that sound dramatic? It’s not actually meant to be. Consider this being delivered in the voice of Blackadder the Third. Yeah, exactly. No pies on offer from Mrs Miggins.This podcast is maintained with the efforts of my guests' participation and as much free time as I can dedicate to it.

This poem takes aim at a system that has allowed billionaires to thrive. They influence international politics, bend long established principles and legal systems to their will while allowing billions of people to starve. A system that can do that, celebrate itself, exult in the finesse of its democratic stability and still claim to be functioning properly is an insult.So yes, the world is a stage, and it’s a set up and the little people get screwed every time. We can see it happening, it’s right there in the open, and huge swathes of society still let the puppets of billionaires and their lackies point fingers at whoever they decide is temporarily ‘undesirable’ and the idiots soak it up and go on a rampage. Well done! This poem is for you all as well.This podcast is maintained with the efforts of my guests' participation and as much free time as I can dedicate to it.
