Popular Post Chongalulu Posted June 7, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 7, 2023 17 minutes ago, Screaming said: Its obvious that Move Forward is going nowhere but to the far left. Very sad indeed for Thailand. I expect there will be another coup at some point in the future. Define 'far left' . You seem to be classing progressive with that label. The vested interests and shameful inequality,coupled with a poor education system being addressed along with observing democracy is hardly'far left'. Thailand needs much better than the current dinosaurs 6 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More specifically it is referencing the symbol of the "Restart Thailand" campaign.......run by the Free Youth Group, the group that was at the core of the Pro-Democracy protests of 2020. The Sickle for R the Hammer for T. It allowed them to to create a "nexus" of concepts (ie RT = Republic of Thailand) guaranteed to **** off the "Establishment". Its implications were also questioned at the time: https://www.thaipbsworld.com/hammer-and-sickle-campaign-may-backfire-on-protest-movement/ It is well known that Thai borrowing/referencing of "foreign" words/symbols frequently creates ........"misunderstanding".

They won the vote now let the people get the government they voted for. If they are no good then vote them out next time. Socialist or not they have been elected. Let the will of the people prevail.

The Sickle for R the Hammer for T. They're still linked to communism (so bad) and a big reason that the democracy protests lost traction and fizzled out. Communists co-opting campaigns for democracy (the opposite of communism) are never going to do anything good.

phetphet Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 (edited) So are they admitting that the Illuminati exists in Thailand? And being a member is seditious?

geoffrobbo Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 What a waste of time and money.

scottiejohn Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 24 minutes ago, BangkokReady said: This sums up the issue perfectly: "One of the things that I did, when I was still a revolutionary socialist, was try and prevent people from exercising freedom of speech and thought. It came naturally to me, because I believed that what I thought and desired was so good, that anybody who disagreed with me must, by their nature, be evil and deserving of being silenced." Sadly, not something completely unfamiliar. Some would call this very idea a Nazi White Supremacist conspiracy theory, simply to silence people. Would you care to share the source of that crap!
