“Genuine racists not welcome”..the leitmotiv of the
Blue kippers..lyrical words in the first week of the year of the Earth
Dog....
Slips of the political tongue...I read on the UKIP's
events page for their pro Brexit demonstration at the National Assembly
in Wales ..that "genuine racists are not welcome"..I guess fake racists
are or indeed those using racism, fear and division for political ends .
Freud commented how slips of the tongue often reveal our hidden inner
state. I can't really think of a more telling slip of a political Id
than this. I have to laugh but with that laughter comes the realisation
of exactly what the whole Brexit process is about for the right. An
opportunist, a parasitical use of racism clearly means that you would be
welcome there. It's fascinating how these slips reveal true nature and
outlook. The whole UKIP project summed up...getting our country
back...how sad ; how disturbing...a discourse of fear and loathing.. in
that one phrase a soul or shadow laid bare. ..an agenda revealed , a
Goebbels like great lie..behold the Party. Behold the plague launched by
Nigel the Plague bringer..who is as cold as a Lizard and as ambitious
as Lucifer..bringing fear to your area and your psyche
In the
year 2017 the plague touched us all. It was not confined to the Oran of
Albert Camus. The bacillus turned up again in the blood of the shark
skinned populists of the right, who in running for power infected Brexit
Isle as it shivered and shrivled behind the borders it thought it had
claimed back. The plague spread far and wide and as it flowed through
the water supply of the right it became cancerous and transformed the
sensibilities and sensitivity of the those who once claimed a
conscience.
And as the miasma spread cloud like it created within
all it touched and promoted a growing ignorance and lack ofknowledge.
Education was merely an instrument to create a docile workforce and as
the simple ten words of the alt right destroyed all enlightenment
thinking . The value of the sxpert mocked by Michael Gove revealed the
poison. It was no accident that "Vanity Fair" Gove`s favourite book
described a realm of Becky Sharpe in a corrupt plutocratic society that
new the price of everything and value of nothing,
The trope of
“value for money” described all accounting and all assessment. Education
was to be about conditioning and controling. The Libertarian s of the
right saw their own narcissism as a measure of all that was good. Trump
like they could not distinguish their own egos from common sense. They
had no analysis of power, no comparative abilities, they knew no history
and fixed common sense as a statistical average of the prejudices of
their own blind spots and of the Daily mail and of the Sun. equivalence
became their watch word..they knew no past no future. All predictive
sciences and arts were nocked. The books they read became thinner with
less words and even even fewer letters.
They called them selves
"laymen", non -specialists and celebrated the ignorance and lack of
reading. They fantasised a past that had never been, dreamnt of a
perceived past where binary observations were all there had ever been.
Some even forgot those of their own sexualities that had struggled for
equality and respect. And as the cult of the individual grew and become
more ingrained within the empty reaches of their minds and souls
something deep within died, withered and went out.
Poor Helema
prattle, poor Higgy. Nether was sure of the their own clarity of
thought. Tools of thinking belonged to neither or were so blunted that
they has ceased all practical use or application. Though perhaps the
word tool richly applied to young Higgy the red kneck of Tonna or was it
paerhaops the Tonna Blcackshirts.
This was a bland time and a
blank time. It was a time of conciet and conservatism. It was a time of
the narcissist and the racist, the ignoramt and the ignoramus. It was a
time of simplicity and of one dimension. Yetthe plague spread. In the
age of the limpet the layman was king.
This was the land of the
desert, it was Egypt after the burning of the Library and the land of
the Fireman of Fahrenheit 451. This was Orwell's New Speak, the land of
those who fear to think critically and assume that analysis was
indoctrination. Like the Psychotic they built the castles in the air and
moved in to the right hand side of the building. They had nothing to
compare it to, they had no point of reference, no map coordinates and no
ability to think outside the narcissism of self. They even failed to
see the narcissism of small difference that existed behind their
“individualism” that was identical to the rest of the alt right with
their cigarettes, their Anders Brevik Pony tails and their pretend
Oxford Scarves.
In Neath the Milo Yiannopoulos of Aberdulais Falls
and the H P Lovecraft of Seven Sisters failed to realise that they were
just like all the rest of the tribes of the alt right. Their thought
made the analysis of Milo Yiannopoulos's bookappear almost Plato
like in quality. Yes they insisted that were all individuals but as the
plague moved they failed to understand that they had not gained their
country back, that their positivity was built on bricks without straw
and substance. Their thoughts half baked and at the pretence of
Libertarianism as they failed to understand that the term was an
adjective and not a noun. With no knowledge of history, social science
or culture they failed to realise that politics was more than a two
dimensional axis. They never bothered to read. Some wondered if they
could read and as the narcissism spilled out first destroying UkIP and
then moving on with its blue bacillus deep into the body of the Tory
party.
But as the patient groups of the poor and dispossessed
woke up and saw the ageing city slackers of the land and the fifth rate
thinkers of the blue-kippers and alt right. The return of two party
politics in the mid of 2017 and the re-emergence of true Socialism
spread through social media. Two paradigms emerged and the right began
to fall back. In Holland, in France and in the UK there appeared other
lens..that sadly knew them not. As Brexit bit and the scales fell from
the eyes of many. A new Left paradigm began to grow. It changed the
Labour Party and destroyed the Blairite tendency that had staged
entryism and take over of the party.
The plague strangely gave
the left an antidote or chemotherapy to the solid brutal neo-liberal
agenda that had once thought itself the end of history with the victory
of liberal capitalism and the fall of the Berlin Wall. The walls that
separated us all began to fall and yet there were still many with
internal walls of conditioning that stopped joined up thinking of the
soul, mind and intellect. For the first time in fifty years the Left was
confident again and the process of Hegelian change moved on. This was
Max Weber`s unintended consequences , it was a Gramscian crisis and of
the breaking false consciousness of Marxism analysis . It was a perfect
storm of advantage for the political left. The change is coming and
coming now...
Yet still there are many who fail to realise that we
are all a world of immigrants and insist on being in a world of
ignorants. There is still far to go..... but welcome to a new world and
the year of 2018. A time of change is the most dangerous yet it is out
of crisis that a new approach begins. The new paradigm unfurls and the
right falls apart....behold the future....where there is fear there is
as well power. This is Whi Chi the time of chance and change as the Moon
grows full......as we cast the coins of the political I Ching.....these
are my words in the first few days days of the new year.
Nietzche “A political opportunist divides us into two classes: tools and enemies.”
