But isn't this is the same block of voters the Libs now assiduously court? The Libs love nothing more than redistributive schemes that are designed to appeal to the subsidy classes. I think the real problem for the NDP is that progressivism has morphed from relying on class-based economic analysis to a reliance on identity-focused cultural analysis. By mimicking Lib progressivism the NDP has ditched Marxian logic for neo-Marxian frippery and become a mirror image of the Lib party, minus the corporate agenda of course - or so it likes to imagine. The Libs have conveniently adopted a neo-Marxian approach in the service of the corporate globalist agenda. Or, as Trudeau often suggests, the Libs see the role of government as serving to round the rough edges of corporate globalism to make it palatable to the hoi polloi. But is the NDP not serving to bolster the same agenda without admitting as much? At least the opportunistic Libs appear to embrace their own hypocrisy. I worry, though, that the NDP has little comprehension of the game it's playing. If its ideology isn't grounded in class-based analysis designed to serve the actual interests of ordinary working people, I think it naive to believe it now realistically serves any purpose other than to essentially validate Lib policies. In the Marxian intellectual construct, modern progressivism is a distraction that's primarily designed to serve the interests of global capital. I believe the NDP has allowed itself to be co-opted to serve this agenda.
