In politics, the Third Way is a position akin to centrism that tries to reconcile right-wing and left-wing politics by advocating a varying synthesis of right-wing economic and left-wing social policies.[1][2] The Third Way was created as a serious re-evaluation of political policies within various centre-left progressive movements in response to international doubt regarding the economic viability of the state; economic interventionist policies that had previously been popularized by Keynesianism and contrasted with the corresponding rise of popularity for economic liberalism and the New Right.[3] The Third Way is promoted by some social democratic and social liberal movements.[4]
Major Third Way social democratic proponent Tony Blair claimed that the socialism he advocated was different from traditional conceptions of socialism. Blair said "My kind of socialism is a set of values based around notions of social justice ... Socialism as a rigid form of economic determinism has ended, and rightly".[5] Blair referred to it as "social-ism" that involves politics that recognized individuals as socially interdependent, and advocated social justice, social cohesion, equal worth of each citizen, and equal opportunity.[6] Third Way social democratic theorist Anthony Giddens has said that the Third Way rejects the traditional conception of socialism, and instead accepts the conception of socialism as conceived of by Anthony Crosland as an ethical doctrine that views social democratic governments as having achieved a viable ethical socialism by removing the unjust elements of capitalism by providing social welfare and other policies, and that contemporary socialism has outgrown the Marxian claim for the need of the abolition of capitalism.[7] Blair in 2009 publicly declared support for a "new capitalism".[8]
It supports the pursuit of greater egalitarianism in society through action to increase the distribution of skills, capacities, and productive endowments, while rejecting income redistribution as the means to achieve this.[9] It emphasizes commitment to balanced budgets, providing equal opportunity combined with an emphasis on personal responsibility, decentralization of government power to the lowest level possible, encouragement of public-private partnerships, improving labour supply, investment in human development, protection of social capital, and protection of the environment.[10]
The Third Way has been criticized[11] by some conservatives and libertarians who advocate laissez-faire capitalism.[12] It has also been heavily criticized by many social democrats, democratic socialists and communists in particular as a betrayal of left-wing values.[13][14][15] Specific definitions of Third Way policies may differ between Europe and America.
Go away Clintons! and take Georgie with you.
Excellent...makes a lot of sense...thank you!!!
Symbolism over substance....typical Dem ‘movement’. Let’s us take stock of all the ‘Symbolism’ they have already instituted......’safety pins to telegraph that they love everybody and everybody will find a safe space with them’.....whining about the Electoral College AGAIN.....starting a petition to convince the Electors to vote for Hillary, instead of the person their states voted for.....claiming that Trump owes them an extended hand, when their King did the exact opposite FOR EIGHT YEARS.....
Anyone want to add to this list?
Isn’t purple the color of Bill Clinton’s genitals?
... you Know i was for letting the clinton’s just disappear into the night and live out their life in peaceful freedom -— obviously they are incapable of this; therefore, we should investigate and prosecute them and their foundation to the fullest. Sad, she could have chosen to stay home and enjoy her grandchildren — they can visit her in jail.
As phony as that fake ‘Hillary hiking’ photo.........
No pardons, no ending the investigations. Lock her up! Let her be purple in the Iron Bar Hotel. Throw Soros in with her until he can be extradited back to Russia.
Amazing, how the libtards can take a turd (crushed in a election) and turn it into a nice shiny new purple turd...
Millions will be suckered into this idea...
They are right on one way clinton, pelosi and reid all need to share a jail cell. (P.S. reid may need protection)
Soros is just another Yasser Arafat IMO ...... Polonium-210 solutions are popular these days.
“...the whole rhythm section was the purple gang let’s rock... Willie on the sax.
Bump...
Anarchy is a crime.
They're always spittin' up their own bile.
.....should be orange and blue..to make BROWN to represent CHIT FOR BRAINS!
I think they all should be wearing purple...on their faces.
If this purple thing were so great, why didn’t she unveil it during the campaign? Now we know why Hillary wasn’t asked (like Trump was) if she would accept the results. She NEVER planned to, and, of course the press was privy to it.
Greg Hunter interviewed the predictive linguistics, Cliff High, and says the same thing.
