The Second thing, inrelevant. A mounth ago. Europe has been shocked by Labour party in United Kingdom (UK) and Left Party in France won the election. Why this happen? UK and France also know as one of center of capitalism in west Country. How they literally let Leftish party want the election? Let's see characteristics of the society in western culture for many of them they facing society based on materialism like income, Healthcare, Immigrant, etc. Incumbent like Prime Minister of UK Rishi Sunak can't catch issue more effective. As a conservative Sunak did the old way like withholding tax for upper income, raising fuel, and the worst thing is suppor Israel genocide. We don't need to explain Israel genocide too much, but the main point is when support to Palestine has mobilize in all country. Sunak stand with Israel, when his people have gaining sympathy with Palestine people. Labour party become the alternative for that they bring "hope", Keir Starmer always talking about his experience as "son of labour". He got sympaty from majority cause we know UK have a big problem with immigrant and walfare for worker. They mobilize the populist issue to gaining support and vote in election. Same as in UK, Election in France, after make coalition with Marcon's Faction to face Right extream. Leftish movement using all populist issue and joining in "free palestine" movement and get absolute win on the election.
      What happen on Europe give us a leasson, every movement need 2 fundamental requirement "Accident and sympatic". When accident happen is mean nothing if you don't get any sympatic from the society. Reformasi success because student can mobilize society to joining the protest and it same with "212" movement to impeachment of Governor Jakarta Basuki Thjaj Pratama. Student don't get sympatic in massive from the society. This become a big problem of every movement, if student fix with this problem. Student movement will irrelevant day by day and we will lose the essential of "Agent of Change".
