A Gramscian reflection on the X6.

A Gramscian reflection on the X6..It's a Gramscian moment as Extinction Rebellion take Ecosocialism into the main steam of politics the Brexit Party and it's manifestoless launch takes reaction to confront it. These are the culture wars to come. As Nigel Farage faces a young earnest Swedish woman the fault lines are revealed. In Swansea on Saturday the shibboleth of a far right discourse of Brexit betrayal faces a powerful wave of a multi cultural and multi faithed Swansea. This is part generational, part milleau oriented. It is multilayed and nultivarious. This ckah has a monotheistic edge and a polytheistic plurality. It is no accident that a picture appears of a smiling George Galloway and a grinning Nigel Farage . This is truly Gramschian as the old monotheists are now on the same side and their masculinities complement one another in a very disturbing and chilling way. Across society as a whole the Corbyn Labour Party squares up to the Brexit Party of Farage. This struggle is far removed from the blandness of a centrist people's vote agenda and its conflict with the Little Britain of the bluekippers. These are the moments the culture wars are settled. It's now about the sort of cults we have. Galloway and Farage are both social conservstives with differing economic agendas yet it is the social conservatism that unites them. The battle lines are drawn and there is no middle ground any more. As the Conserivative party distigrates a new conservatism takes form and it's only viable opponents are Corbyn and Macdonnell..it's time to decide..

As Arlene Foster is shamed by a Catholic Priest at a young womans funeral and the wolves gather around the forces "hero" Johnny Mercer we hear of a Trump state visit and a journey down the Mall.. Ann Widdercombe returns a six stone man judged fit to work by the DWP finds their last payment to him will meet the cost of his burial. and these are the days the days of Gramsci and Bordieau. Even Baudrillard's hyper reality could not describe the clash between the perfectly post modern fascists and the Ecosocialists..this is wei chi and the time of chance change...I am Lear, Kent and the Fool..
I shake off these thoughts and I head on to the Powys Labour group AGM at the Welfare Hall in Ystradgynlais. The Brecon and Radnor by election beckons..soon the polling stations will open for a recall petition and Brecon and Radnor will once more have a by election as significant as the one of 1985..
