Electoral fronts are not enough we need to Make The Middle Class history:

underclassrising.net | 13.07.2009 21:29

The news Chris Knight is standing against TESSA JOWELL in the DULWICH AND WEST NORWOOD seat at the general election yes self proclaimed public enemy NO.1 this summer after his high profile in claiming to be organising force of the G20 protests and was said to be instrumental in the Liverpool Dockers/RTS link ups. Neither are true, a few Middle Class soap dodgers and other self proclaimed vanguard of The Working Class got a beating from The Police, Ian Tomlison lost his life, meanwhile the murdering scum who killed him has not been charged, and if you talk to the Liverpool Dockers some will tell you what a tiresome wanker Chris Knight was, we have to agree as we was involved.

He was also founding editor of ‘LABOUR BRIEFING’ He is currently fighting being sacked from his Professor of Radical Anthropology post at East London University for his remarks about ‘Hanging the Bankers’ during G20, shame he did not say them about his class as well, of course there is a difference between the likes of Nick I ain’t a Nazi Griffin and Chris Knight we know this but educated Middle Class Scum are not the voice of the working class, there parasites that use any opportunity for there own gain, Chris Knight and the Middle Class can only offer our class one thing and that is they form a ordinary que at the lamp post for there hanging.

Ian Bone is right we do need to have ANARCHISTS CANDIDATES FOR GENERAL ELECTION??? but we do not need the Middle Class to become the vangard of our class, it is these people who voted New Labour in 1997, these people who are calling for the reforming of The Socialist Alliance, the Middle Class have failed our class, this is why we need to make them history and tell the likes of Chris Knight FUCK OFF..

that's the oddest rant ever. Kind of reminds me of the openly classist in their day

What do you reckon to left luggage then underclass? And the commune? And 99.9% of those who define themselves as class struggle anarchists?

yes, a rant, but some good points..

I did not realise that Ian Bone had proposed that anarchists stand in the general elections, this has kind of put a smile on my face because just this weekend when I was having a conversation with a friend we both came to the same conclusion that this was needed.

I think as an idea, it's time has come if people are breaking their prejudices and waking up to how this approach has real potential. We are just at the beginning of an economic crisis which is likely to last a couple of decades or more. As history has proven, people become radicalised by such events. So far in this story, the far right seem to have progress in communities, whilst the left has made most progress in the workplace.

Electioneering is a great tactic for speaking to our own people in our communities and radicalising and waking people up to what is really going on. And getting some of our own in such positions is going to put a cat among the pigeons and challenge these self-serving fuckers in power, both outside and inside the system.

We need to fight on all fronts.

Response from Underclass Rising?

14.07.2009 12:40

I'm still hoping Underclass Rising will respond to my question about their apparently anti-tree ideas - see link.
Good to see that this guy in Sheffield has realised that none of the candidates for MPs in London speak for him.

On Chris Knight

14.07.2009 13:58

you can critiscize Chris knight all you like but at the end of the day he was more organised and serious about struggle than most Sunshine Anarchists who will fight as long as they get to play at being the radical street fighting man. Having met him I think he is a very clever man who could be invaluable to the struggle if grounded by more realistic people than he surrounds himself with.
During the G20 he was one of the only people with a concrete plan, having four protests converge on the bank of england was genius as it stretched the police massively. Compare this to the large anarchist meeting I was at a certain squat where the night before there was no sort of plan to speak of.

Post G-20 he was one of the only people trying to build upon the public feeling of discontent towards the police by flyering millwall and trying to keep media focus on the case of police barbarism.

Don't get me wrong I argued for ages with knight eventually asking him whether he lived on the same planet as us but until there is any other organisation (in the loose sense) of anarchism, I don't think you have any room to critiscize him.

wondered why those who shout about the working class always seem to come from middle class families and went to a poly/uni?

As a real member of the working class (east end, peabody forever) I would like to inform you that to be working class you have to have...

1 , work, or have some useable skill or trade
2 , Class, the real working class are proud and generous, but not in the way you think they are. Thats why you call them "Sheeple".

I have seen the workers paradise of Cuba and Russia and you can keep it, I don't want to be told what to do by you, sorry if this shocks you.

This will get hidden I know because it could be seen to oppose the view that we simple workers are just waiting for you to set us free from our bonds, please don't hide this because it is real freedom of speech about my life, not yours.

whats the point your not listening

Anarchists Candidates

16.07.2009 11:07

Some basic guidelines for any anarchist candidates:

1) No wage. In the outside chance you do get elected then take what you would earn on the dole and pass the rest on to preannounced local good causes.

2) No expenses. Sure, claim all the expenses you can but again, give them all away.

3) No second term.

If enough people do run for election then rather than as Independents it might be worth starting a party called 'zzz None of the Above' just so you all appear at the end of a ballot paper and clearly identify as opposition to the limited closed choices of the other candidates.

This sort of thing occassionally works, an Italian mayor was recently elected with his sole agenda being his own corruption. He promised to enrich himself and his family at everyone elses expense, and he was elected because the people recognised the only difference between him and the other candidates was he was being honest.
