I don't trust anyone that separates economic concerns from sexism and racism. If you don't look at capitalism through an integrated lens, your critique is empty. Most poor people in the world are dark skinned women.

Utter left wing nonsense. To explain the populist phenomenon you just have to say the following - Bataclan, Nice, Charlie Hebdo, Berlin, Orlando,
It goes on...... The majority of people voting Brexit and Trump are not extremist or racist in any way. They are ordinary people who have realised that there is a major problem in the world that needs addressing. The left are still not awake to the problem and so the people are voting for politicians who are. These politicians right wing yes but not extremists. Trump has been totally mischaracterised by the left. The left have got it so wrong and the people realise that they cannot be trusted. -
I had to watch this video twice to make sure it is not parody. Apart from Mark Blyth (who is a master of making sense) this video is just a soup of derogatory words. I guess it seems different if you watch it from inside of the echo chamber.

This show became a joke this election pushing Hillary and pretending nothing was wrong with her or that the primary wasnt stolen. Us real progressives already knew who Blyth was.

Lol, there is no "far-right" in the UK. UKIP policies are LEFT of the US Democratic Party.... Let that sink in.
-
Echo chamber?
-
Like all SJW this guy views the world through a Marxist lenses. Its the same old class warfare toxic trash, translated into cultural and racial terms.
-
The fanatics on the left lost the argument after killing over 100 million people in the last century.

What a smug man put him on the local Audi test drive list YOUR made to drive on

you sound like an idiot and a racist.
''ohhh racisme is bad, solution, more racisme towards white people''
that''s the real reason why there is a wave of nationalism, people don''t like being targeted and told what to think and do, while being displaced by a bunch of imbred muslims or barbaric africans.
multicultralism, globalism and marxisme is the problem. -
Neoliberalism is not "center left". There's a reason why Barack Obama and Hilary Clinton are on the upper right quadrant of the political spectrum. America has been leaning heavily authoritarian, and right-wing for a pretty good while now. The failure, is in acknowledging this and keeping it straight. The democratic party is not a left-wing party. It's America's "left-wing", but it's not at all left-wing except on some social issues. Bernie Sanders, Jill Stein, and progressives like them, are "center-left".

Stop using RACISM as if it's a bad thing. RACISM is wonderful and Jews make RACISM a religion, in their DNA. Israel is a zionist racist terror state. Celebrate racism and harness racism to keep it positive, to improve society, instead of ethnic cleansing white males, which is RACISM. Affirmative action and set asides is RACISM. Liberals are racists. Jews, blacks, women are racists and biased, with affirmative action quotas. This has to end.

The collapse is over. Dollar is down 95% since 1971. The paper currency has collapsed, empowering WALL STREET. The consequences of this paper dollar counterfeiting collapse has yet to occur. The Fed is the problem, using counterfeiting currency to buy up the world for free. The top 62 individuals own the same as the bottom 3.5 BILLION. This is all due to counterfeiting the currency. This needs to be changed, reversed. The banks were liberal, requiring war and change for profits. Main Street has been raped. Wall Street and government need to be reduced by 50% or more to right this wrong. Immigration is also a disaster, destroying our neighborhoods as jobs were exported. It needs to be undone.

trust a Scotsman to cut through the b/s !

Italy too!

Calling everybody you don't agree with "fascist" or "racist" is only making matters worse.

Authoritarianism is on the rise, look at the left in our country, it's outrageous. It used to be the political right that were more authoritarian in their reach, but since Obama's reign it's become HOT STUFF for the Democrats. The way Obama's administration handles the press, absurd.

Michael brooks and you collective-guilt, white-privilege peddling hacks with microphones and their audience are the reason Trump is going to win again 2020. Look at you, speaking about the necessity for a sober Democratic party and in the next breath, you double down on the "racist", "I'm shaking he is literally hitler" narrative that lost you the fucking election in the first place. You speak about breitbart-ism but you are more bigoted than that website ever was, your bigotry is targeted towards whites and working class minorities who don't obey you: the same bigotry that the Hutu's had for the Tutsi's; that the Turks had for the Armenians(which you probably deny, because has somehow meme'd its way into progressivism these days). You are consumed with the same hatred that the communist Ukrainians had for their farmers, and I could go on, but you probably aren't even aware of the history last 6 cultures I named, because historical precedent doesn't fit your narrative that racism is exclusively endemic to whites. Take your cultural-Marxism and go back regressive, post-modernist cess-pool that you slithered out of.

Brexit was not just rasist rightwing, it was also labour and leftwing, dumbass

Jewish neoliberalism (aka cultural Marxism) and Jewish neoconservativism (global war / debt) are to blame so when the backlash comes and antisemetism rises please know that it was you jews who sewed the seeds for the backlash just as in WWII the jews sewed the seeds of the concentration camps by the mass murderers of jewish Bolsheviks in Russia and Eastern Europe (which everyone in Europe was well aware...why do you think so many Europeans gave the jews over to the Nazi's...you think propaganda was just manufactured out of thin air...you think hate comes from nowhere...you think people turn against you for no good reason...you think the peope throughout Europe who cooperated with the Nazi's against the jews did so with no personal experience and no facts to support teir beliefs about jews). Look at the contempt for the US in Hollywood and media, look at the contempt for the US on college campus, look at the contempt for the US in the democratic party as Hillary fully exposed the corrupt underbelly of the democrats who claimed to be the people's party. There is another day coming for you jews but please look in the mirror as to why tomorrow is turning against you jews.
