Just because it's hard doesn't mean it can't be done... I feel like he's got a defeatist attitude toward politics, where if something fails it's not worth trying again. But, social change takes time and persistence. I think being moderate right now is a pretty sure way to lose elections. Because, people aren't happy. People are wanting changes.
I agree, but I think his closing statement says more about his position than anything else. "Losers fight battles that are already lost, winners look for new battlegrounds." Which I agree with, it's pessimistic to say that mining corps have won. But it's true. Labor will need to move to 'new battlegrounds' to have any chance, the example provided was the Future Made in Australia proposal. Jordie helped me connect the dots that THIS is the new battleground. Government owned industry in the next advancement of infrastructure/electricity.
