Looks like Tony Blair doesn't think much of Bernie Sanders either

7. Of course he does.

Blair, along with the Clintons, their allies and supporters, belongs to a cadre of reactionary center-rightists incubated in a post-Reagan and post-Thatcher world to believe that capitulation to conservative, corporatist policy agendas while mouthing moderate platitudes makes them progressive. It does not. They're not really Labour or Democrats...they're just displaced slightly-less-Republican/Conservative Republicans/Conservatives.

People like Blair and the Clintons will never understand the Corbyns and Sanders or their ascendancy because they do not have the insight to realize that they are actually the enemy of progressive ideals fighting to hold back actual champions of actual progressive policies motivated by actual progressive values backing-up those platitudes the reactionary center-rightists have been mouthing for 30-something years.

They all belong in the dustbin of history. Unfortunately, they also lack the insight to realize that they need to stay in that dustbin and stop thinking they have relevancy in increasingly-progressive societies that have moved on from their worldview. (See: Why the Clintons won't do us all a favor and go the f**k away forever.)

Failing that, they are going to need to be crushed out and expelled, driven back into the moderate-Conservative/Republican abyss that spawned them; have their non-relevance shoved in their faces and be shown the door. Fake progressives are no longer welcome...there may have been a time when they were needed to shield the center-left and left from the RW values assault of the 1980s and 1990s...but if there ever existed a time for the likes of the Clintons and Blairs, it's certainly past not present.

The present is the clash of civilizations between these reactionary-to-Thatcher/Reagan center-rightists and progressives...but there is little doubt that the future belongs to those aligned with Corbyn and Sanders. Even a victory of the Blair-aligned Labourists or Hillary Clinton is but a short reprieve in the march of history to bury them and all they stand for. It's a last spasm before the death-knell.
