The stae of the UK left

Tom | 04.03.2003 10:43

Change the word socialist to something else!

Hope that working class people who visit this site get a chance to read this before it is censored by the middle class Indymedia censor who watches over this site?

People say to me, what have you got against the middle classes, and I tell them nothing. After all it’s not their fault that the were born with better life chances than us working class people. In fact I have friends who are middle class.

What really gets me about middle Englanders is their blindness to the fact that they are largely responsible for perpetuating the present miserable system that we now live under. Left wing middle Englanders, especially Marxist Trotskyites, are so hypocritical that it beggars belief. Can you imagine what life would be like if these left wing hypocrites were in charge? Every thing they do and the way that they think is complicated, simplicity of thought is beyond them.

Take a close look at the middle class left and observe how they are always at the forefront at demonstrations and how their perspective is imposed onto the people. Could you honestly say that the British middle class left would stand and fight if there was a revolution? Could you hell. They would be off in a flash and back to the middle class suburbs from whence they came. These are the people who march at weekend demonstrations against social injustice and during the week send their children to private school. They don’t have to live in crappy deprived areas like us working class people do. The only claim to poverty that most these middle Englanders have and constantly bleat on about is: When we were student we lived in poverty for three years. “Big Deal.”

Some one once said, “charity begins at home” but the middle class left care nothing about local issues. Being dreamers, their heads are constantly tied up with international issues. Thousands of young people in the UK are homeless and in the winter month’s pensioners are dying of hypothermia. Thousands of pensioner’s homes are closing down as this present Labour government cuts money to local councils. What do the middle class left do to try and stop this, nothing. Is it any wonder that the BNP are getting seats at local elections? Even when the middle class left decide to get together and fight at local elections they use the word socialist, when they know that this word has, over many decades, been demonised by the middle class run media. Talk about leading with the jaw.

It is quite obvious that the latter observation is true, but what do the middle class left do when they decide to try and stop cutting each others throats and get together? They call themselves the Socialist Alliance. What is the point of trying to have dialogue with these people? They are active participants and agents of their own demise. The treacherous Labour Party MP and witch hunter of the left Peter Kilfoyle (who now claims to be on the left) summed the UK far left up quite adequately in the title of his book about politics in Liverpool, he called the book: “Left Behind”.
