There’s a parasite called Toxoplasma gondii that colonises the brains of rats, altering their behaviour to attract them to the scent of their predators. The rats seek out cats and get eaten, allowing the parasite to keep circulating. This is New Labour. It has colonised a movement that fought for social justice, distribution and decency, rewired its brain and delivered it to the fat cats who were once its enemies.
Just substitute “New Labour” with “The Democratic Party” and it fits exactly in the US.
Really, the landed interests have figured out how to manipulate us spectacularly well.
