Quady, I have a PhD in Social Policy and I really haven't the discipline to overlook your last post.

The 'horseshoe theory/effect' is far from being the universally accepted premise that you suggest. I possibly works when one considers the most extreme possible points in the political spectrum (e.g. Nazi Germany and the Stalinist Soviet Union). By historical standards the left/right dichotomy in American politics is certainly not as extreme as those seen in the mid 20th century. Furthermore, I do not believe for one second that the Democratic Party can be usurped by the far-left. In reality the Democrats are merely social democrats broadly aligned to some elements of the Scandinavian model. They are pragmatics who deeply believe in the rule of law and the advantages associated with capitalism.

Yes, there are certainly 'far left' activists on the very fringes of the Democratic Party (I emphasise the word 'fringes'). For as long as there is a two-party system in the USA we will continue to see the rule of law and capitalism as the core to American values. I do not see this changing at any point in the near future.

The issue we have in the coming days is the potential for clashes between small groups at the very periphery of the political system.

keep it going Rog....have a few sherberts that should facilitate a volley of vitriol if your past performance is anything to go by ;-)

The other right wing trick is to call anyone left of centre fascists which is pretty odd.

Lucky the UK is full of 'lovely' people like RM.

I refuse to believe you were ever tolerant.

Really Roger, not at all?
Blinkers deluxe.

Nicely summed up Belderino, my thoughts also, I do however think the two parties are going to be closer, once we get to Feb.

Trump
(Negatives)
-Outspoken
-Poor diplomat
-To old
- Bad hair
-Short temper
-Poor judgment
(Advantages)
-Trying to stand up to china.
-All year-round tan (Tangoed).

Conclusion. Sorry to say { Trump} win just.
Sol gold PFS DEC - JAN that,s my take . :))

BLM in the UK has recently said it's not behind the registration of the political party and this is the problem. BLM is a movement. A rallying cry, about 50-60 different organisations, some are very left wing some are not.
There is a lot of disinformation about it.
It is Not a coherant large international organisation.

I can see that some investors are concerned about the presidential elections in Ecuador next February. It seems two candidates could win the elections: Andrés Arauz (45,9% - voting intention) and Guillermo Lasso (32%). Lasso is a centre-right candidate. He is clearly in favour of mining and hydrocarbon exploration. Thus, this would be the best result for us investing in SolGold.

Ex-president Rafael Correa as a democratic socialist was supposed to oppose international investment and mining. But, during his presidency that was not the case. He clashed with anti-mining activists several times. He was in power for more than 10 years.

Andrés Arauz was one of Correa's ministers. He is a candidate for president in the 2021 general elections, with the support of the Correa's allies. Andrés Arauz is pushing ahead with his bid to continue Correa’s Citizens’ Revolution given that Correa was not allowed to stand in the elections (I wonder if this is going to be something similar to the current Colombian president who is seen as a puppet president for ex-president Alvaro Uribe Velez).

In any event, if Correa was not a problem to mining during his long presidency, it seems to me that Arauz should not be a problem, given that he is to continue with Correa's policies and be influenced by Correa and his allies views and policies;

I agree that Ecuador is not as safe jurisdiction as Australia but some seem to think or suggest that if Arauz wins some kind of expropriation policy will take place. From what I can see this is not part of Arauz's policies. Furthermore, people in South America have seen the results of Venezuela's Socialism failure and are not keen to make the same mistake.

I am not sure if someone has checked SolGold's facebook page. People have nothing but good things to say about them. Given that SolGold has ensured of gaining a fantastic reputation as a social and environmental responsible explorer with Ecuadorians.

This is my personal opinion of course.

Anybody who dares protest against the conservative establishment is labelled a 'marxist'.
You can treat people like dirt and if they protest they are then Marxists.

Morning SharketMare, also hope you are good, I agree.
The defunding the police, and setting up local militia, is mad, and the far left, are just as crazy.
As this is an attempt to destroy society, and in a perverted way, say capitalism doesn't work.
In Societal studies, we have something called the horseshoe effect. ( please read up about it everyone, if your not familiar )
It basically says that people at the extremes, are similar, and closer to each other, than people in the center.
Not some wild theory, but has been shown to be true in all studies.

Black Lives Matters is an organisation...

black lives matter is a slogan that ordinary people like me can embrace, if you believe in the possibility of lasting change...

In relative terms, women and BAME people are worse off even than in the 60s...

Women have been particularly badly hit by the COVID economic fallout and BAME women have been hit the worst of all...

SOMETHING HAS TO CHANGE!

ditto...completely clueless...from wiki:
'Schlemiel is a Yiddish term meaning "incompetent person" or "fool". It is a common archetype in Jewish humor, and so-called "schlemiel jokes" depict the schlemiel falling into unfortunate situations.' That about sums them up....

Miagi...when I said 'technically' I was referring to the charting...

But taking a simplistic view of the chart for the last 3 years, there is a ridge of support running right through it at c25/26....

Which of course is where we were only a couple of weeks ago...

AIMO as usual...

Addicknt, I understand that. I was responding to Schlemiels hateful post.
We have a problem in the world, where extreme left wing people, jump on every cause, and use it for an excuse to create civil unrest and violence.
I never commented on that aspect.
But we have idiot's on the far right, who use these arguments to discredit the movement within its grass roots.

schlemiel filtered...why can't he see that Trump is Hitler reincarnate...preparing the ground for nationalist USA...?

Good job, I bought at about 6.50 3.5 years ago and sold about a year later for about 6.00 writing was on the wall then. ploughed it into here thank heavens.

Hi Quady, hope all is well. I think that joining a BLM march to highlight racism in society is one thing, but BLM as an organisation have ambitions that go far beyond simply addressing racism. They recently registered in the UK to become a political organisation, and seek to defund the police amongst other goals that are perfectly legitimate to disagree with. I would not characterise them as a 'fascist' organisation as Schmiel has, though.

Catching up on some of the posts here from today and the weekend - I appreciate that the lockdown news is far from ideal, and the US is at a pivotal point (and society is very polarised) but some of the comments in the last 24 hours have been grim. Take some time away from the screens, chaps. Arguing with anonymous folks on the internet does you and your mental health absolutely no good.

All the best,
SM

Q, you are right, they are not fascists, but they are Marxist. You could do with reading a bit more about BLM. Like many others, you are confusing BLM with a justifiable concern about the treatment of Black people in America. The two are most definitely not the same thing.

totally agree quady...they havent got a clue what they are talking about...always very angry too. Hitler = Aryan supremacy....Trump = white supremacy no difference. 25% of Americans are evangelical Christians and support trump which is hilarious, thats where the weaponization of religion occurs. He just pretends to be a believer and all that hands-on nonsense in the oval office would be laughable if it wasn't so dangerous. Wouldn't surprise me if Trump admires some of Hitlers policies he certainly adopted the 'media being the enemy of the people' from him.

Novice, I didn't buy at 545p or anywhere near that, so yes, it should do me proud in the next 1-3 years.

You sure about IAG Maggy down from a year ago 5.45p to 94p, looks like its doing just fine oh yes ?

OK Schlemiel, I had my doubts about you, but no longer, you are just not right in the head, I will go further, you are crazy.
BLM is not a Fascist movement, the people demonstrating against them are the Fascists.
How on earth can you look at all the murders in the states, against Black men and women.
Who is the Fascist, the young unarmed black citizen, sitting in his car, or the police officer who shoots him dead for sitting in a car.
So when BLM bring these cases into the light.
You are saying, they are fascists for exposing these Police Officers, I say that Police Officers that kill unarmed Black men and women, are the criminals.
In 1929 the Fascists in Germany, were the people using the strong arm tactics, against the intellectuals that stood against Fascism, who many paid for with their life.
It's the other way round.
Frankly it's cringe worthy at the least.
How would you like to tell someone's parents that their son or daughter has been shot dead by a law enforcement officer, while committing no crime, and behaving in a totally innocent way.
If those parents join a BLM march, does that make them Fascists.
You say yes, I say no.
GROW UP MAN, and stop making crass arguments to support your twisted views.

Redknight, I would suggest that if you can't see any obvious support levels between here and 25/26, that you take a closer look and/or brush up on your charting skills!
