Blair's advice to the Labour Party

Just recently there was a General Election in the UK.  For a change, the opposition party, the Labour Party headed by Jeremy Corbyn, advocated policies that would have alleviated some of the poverty in the UK.

Just reading this article.  It says:

[Tony Blair] argued the party had been taken over by the "misguided ideology" of the radical Left, which had "never appealed to traditional Labour voters and never will".

Traditional Labour voters enjoy being poor? And wouldn't it be correct to say that it's the present economic situation that is radical since the top 1% have the same wealth as the bottom 60%? (see another blog post of mine).

Blair said:

Any fool can promise everything for free. But the people weren't fooled. They know life isn't like that.

Of course life's not like that, the rich have the vast preponderance of wealth and use their wealth and power to persuade people into voting against their best interests; namely for the Conservatives. There's plenty of money around, we're awash in it, it's just that it's concentrated in the hands of a small minority. Why exactly is one a fool for suggesting the rich should be compelled to share it out a little? I would say the fool is the person who accepts his poverty, who accepts the fact that he is downtrodden, and does nothing about it. If the Labour party consigns itself to dancing to the tune of the rich and gives up on radically redistributing wealth, then there's little purpose to its existence. Tony Blair is a warmonger, further he doesn't have the best interests of the poor and downtrodden at heart. I would advise people not to listen to this man
