Capitalism in crisis? Fascism is no solution!
Despite claims to the contrary by the bosses, bankers and bureaucrats, capitalism is a chaotic ideology built on smoke and mirrors. And the economic turmoil that we're facing today is not a blip in an otherwise stable system, it is the nature of the beast. The ongoing crisis in capitalism is familiar to many of us, and the present madness should act as a wake-up call to working class people everywhere. For the vast majority of us across the globe, the 'good times' are nothing but temporary periods of relative calm in the raging capitalist storm.
The failure of the political puppets of this insane system (like the LibLabConspiracy in the UK) to look after our interests, even as they unite to defend and protect their own, is plain for all to see. While we have suffered for centuries at the hands of the capitalist class, as soon as their interests are threatened they hurriedly band together to bail themselves out of their own mess. And it's us that pay the price as they bleed us ever harder to make up for what they may lose. It's like some kind of perverse socialism for the few at the expense of the many.
Meanwhile, the BNP claim that they are an alternative for the white working class to this crappy capitalist society. They offer the crudest of lies as 'solutions' to the problems our class face, regardless of our colour; lies that, if we believe them, would ultimately see us mistrusting, fighting and killing each other for the crumbs thrown from their table.
Not enough houses? Blame the immigrants, conveniently ignoring the facts that there are hundreds of thousands of empty properties in the hands of private landlords, that property speculators profit from controlling the supply, that estate agents are thieving scum who make money from something that should be a basic right, and that working class people know how to create and build – all we need are the land and resources that the ruling class have stolen from us over the centuries!
Not enough jobs? Blame the immigrants, conveniently ignoring the facts that unemployment suits the interests of the capitalists as we fight and undercut each other for the right to be their wage slaves, that working for a paltry pay packet while the fat cats rake in the profits from our labour is not in our best interests, and that a world where the workload was based solely on meeting our needs and desires and shared out fairly would mean that most of our time would be free to spend however we choose.
Not enough whatevers? Blame the immigrants, conveniently ignoring the facts that show time and again that it is capitalism that is at the root of our problems.
And if fascists like the BNP ever gain power they'll carry on spewing out these lies, while they get on with robbing us blind from right under our noses, stealing our wealth, our planet and our lives to satisfy their bare-faced greed and addiction to power. In that respect they're very much like every other bunch of slimy two-faced politicians, they'd just do it to a much greater degree!
BNP: Bigots. Nazis. Politicians?
The ruling class already use fear as a tactic to keep us isolated from each other. While we slave for them and fight among ourselves, they continue to profit from our blood and sweat. The fascists of the BNP, just like the fascists of the Taliban and Hitler's Third Reich, would only make things a thousand times worse for us. They will try anything to con us into voting for them, to get us to believe that our interests lie with them and their kind. Yet we, as working class people, have so much more in common with each other than we will ever have with these corrupt power whores. Now, more than ever, we must remember that.
The failure of capitalism to look after all of our needs is obvious for all to see. The solution is definitely not to vote for the most extreme version of it! The problems that we face, as ordinary people, will only be solved when we come together to take back what is rightfully ours, when we run this world for the benefit of all, not the few. We must learn from each other, organise together and stand as one as we march towards a future that can and will be ours.
The one thing the fascists fear more than anything else is a strong and united working class, smashing down the false ideologies of nation, religion and race that they prey upon. Let's give them every reason to fear.
