mossyfisk posted:Could someone enlighten me as to what 'third-way' politics means in the US because here it's fascism It was the decision by notionally left-wing parties (e.g. Democrats under Clinton, New Labour under Blair) to pivot away from their traditional concerns with the working-class and the labour union movement, to better target middle-class voters. The idea was that by occupying the political centre and by accepting neo-liberal economic reforms, they would pick up a bigger share of the vote. They would take more middle-class votes, and would retain the working-class vote because - after all - who else are the working class likely to vote for? It was basically a political realignment which allowed the growth of xenophobic, right-wing movements to take over the electoral space that the mainstream left-wing parties had vacated.
