Good news from the young socialists: “Juzo Schweitz launches federal election campaign in a trendy bar in Bern.”
Where else? But here the politically sensitive reader is dumbfounded: “Stage bar”? And what about the young socialists, that is, the socialists? How does it fit? Wouldn’t a “workers’ pub” be a more obvious place for a working-class youth organization to launch an election campaign? One word in particular makes me think:
Scene!
The scene celebrates itself in a trendy bar – historically far removed from all that the term “working class” means. Even the solid party name “Social Democracy” has nothing to do with any “scene”: the labor movement once offered the factory workers their political and cultural home, that is, social progress. Among them were friends of nature, a working ensemble, a working association of gymnastics and sports; there were educational activities in the people’s houses, large cooperative buildings of the labor movement, such as the people’s house of the Bauhaus in Biel.
Tempi passati – with today’s fully digitized world in mind. However, the trendy bar scene in Bern sees itself in the working-class left tradition, with a claim to higher and higher: to lead comrades to a glorious future.
The boys and girls of the Young Socialists have already come a long way on this path: in a double flock they hold the post of chairman of the Swiss Social Democratic Party. Now they are preparing to fill the URF deputy group with dual leadership. In the near future, they would like to take the place of Alain Berset in the Federal Council.
Borrow!
Yes, young socialists occupy the SPS, Yuso-Grove is considered a career advancement. Actually for whom? For academics, but also for those who dropped out, for children from wealthy families who grew up protected and free from deprivation, for the exploiters of NGOs or the only powerful left party in order to gain power.
Because that’s what it’s all about: power.
Actually, we should talk about the socially weak, the disadvantaged, who still abound in the companies of industrial and service Switzerland – in the engine room of the world-successful Confederation.
For those who don’t care about gender or climate.
Are these hardy people in the country personally represented in the committees of the Union of Right Forces, in parliamentary groups, in the leadership, in the thinking circles of the party – artisans, graduates of the professions, citizens far from the university, working from an early age? Are you still a member of the SPS? Do you still own SPS? Yes, once this party was their own – a political and cultural movement of their flesh and blood.
Juso expropriated them.
Recently, Samuel Bendahan, presidential candidate for the dual parliamentary group, openly explained his attitude towards the people he intends to lead to a better future, including, of course, his own future: before he decided to join the social democracy, he had in political Acquainted with the deployment on the road “vrais gens”.
“Vrai gens” – real people, that is, normal, ordinary people, ordinary citizens.
They do exist, employees, workers or, quite classically, workers. As the experience of awakening Juzo from Romanda shows, they can even be encountered.
In everyday life. Not on stage.
Perhaps the “Young Left” should introduce a work quota in the Union of Right Forces – so that alienation does not weigh so much on their pampered souls and so that the workers in their ranks are more than a trophy.
May the stage that kicked off the campaign with “Juso-Groove” in Bern’s stage bar continue to celebrate its sweeping call to the vanguard of the working class. After all, she promises her wards more general welfare.
