Ok, what counts as the "left" in the US and most European countries promoted globalization - the unreconstituted hard left, sure, not so much. I agree with you

I agree with you that this is a consumption problem, but globalization is what has driven consumption for the past 30 years.
- zamfi 7y agoWhat? It’s the right in almost every country that has promoted globalization. Labor parties around the world, and the democrats in the US up until Bill Clinton, were staunchly opposed.
- chillwaves 7y ago> democrats in the US up until Bill Clinton, were staunchly opposed. That's a hell of a caveat.
- zamfi 7y agoShrug, parties change. The democrats ceased to be a party of the left by any measure from 1992-2016. That’s just about a quarter century. Clinton took the party hard right. The “right” in the US is now staunchly in favor of trade wars instead of free trade. Not what you’d expect given their history.
