Por qué el obrero vota a la derecha: La deriva suicida de la izquierda / Why the worker votes for the right: The suicidal drift of the left

Roberto Vaquero 2024 Southern Europe
What's happening to the left today? Why does it seem more concerned with issues like environmentalism (a false environmentalism) or a feminism that is anything but equality, instead of with the problems faced by an increasingly suffocated working class? This historical essay and political manifesto explains why large social majorities are increasingly opting for radical right-wing options in different Western countries, especially in Europe, to the detriment of a left wing lost in its own indefiniteness and surrendered to the interests of large corporations. Roberto Vaquero, one of the most critical commentators on Podemos and the current feminist movement, paints an unflinching portrait of the left that emerged from May '68, which has lost its class consciousness and replaced the idea of ​​patriotism with an empty global identity. The author fearlessly addresses current hot-button issues such as globalization, feminism, environmentalism, immigration, and Islamization, in order to articulate a progressive alternative that truly looks out for the most vulnerable. A warning of the critical situation Spain faces if it does not regain control of its political destiny and manage to shake off ideologies incompatible with its own existence.
