We are dealing with an Eastern ideological opportunism through which the questionable ultra-conservative, neoliberally powered Western rhetoric is assumed and presented as the only politics, the only philosophy of the future. This mass of cadres building their careers on such politics grows each year. And I can see increasingly clear resemblances between this opportunist Eastern discourse and the UKIP- or FN-style discourse from Western Europe: both camps hate the precariat, the mass of reserve army that failed the test of transition to capitalism: the Westerners hate them because they ruin labor prices and the esthetic aspect of streets and parks; the Easterners because they ruin their image. criticatac.ro/lefteast/anti-corruption-another-name-for-economic-abuse/#_ftn2
