And
so normal life begins again it feels like year zero meets
Krisstallnacht. An old Etonian in Mustique makes no comment on the
foreign policy of a large man with a vast ego and a thin skin while
readers if the Jewish Chronicle are told they can sleep easily after a
man dedicated to anti racism and socialism was defeated one full moon
ago . As Ephraim Mirvis and his conservative followers sleep the
neo-Nazi graffiti appears in North London and yet they do not comment
The silence of Hodge, Smeath and Aystin is silent. John Mann turned
witchfinder looks for those to burn on the left. In South Wales leading
far right activists flock to support Neil McEvoy as her stirs the pot of
Rotheram and Rochdale and faces up to a standards committee in Cardiff.
As one by one Neil takes on himself the taxonomy of the far right and
blows the dog whistles of far right populism as his Mosley lite
trajectory speeds up. The Tory government plans a celebratory festival
of Brexit. As Jess Phillips begins to resemble Jo Swinson with a Brummie
accent and seeks to please Murdoch as she schemes to strangle
socialism. As the right of the Labour Party prepares to moan about who
can and who cannot vote conveniently forgetting their own resistance to
new members voting in 2015. This is both "Jahr Null and Kristallnacht
fused in post modern form as blue Labour seeks social conservatism the
fear of freedom kicks in and the shades of perfectly post modern fascism
walks across the land. The truth is that as I smell the stench of
Weimar the "moderates" within Labour are perfectly content to wait five
or ten years for their turn to govern a system they neither wish or hope
to change. Remainers are obsessed with being right and leavers with
having won. But neither being right or winning means anything anymore.
The Left licks it's wounds and prepares to battle for the soul Labour
Party as it's members are told who to vote for by the media . The crowds
spill out onto to the streets of Iran and Iraq as through out the world
from France to Chile people move onto the streets. The good Hegelian
within me binds to my analysis Gramsci, Marx and Neitzche as I peer
ahead into the coming years. Neoliberalism is dead as is liberal
capitalism but it's promoters do not realise it. The Old world is dying
the new waiting to be born and in this time the monsters Erdogan, Trump,
Oban and Mohdi stalk the wotld. We face the future as we prepare for
dramatic events and as we realise Lenins old dictum that in some weeks
many decades happen.
In America as Bernie Sanders draws level in
Iowa and ahead in New Hampshire both Trump and Nethanyanu practise smoke
and mirrors to obscure through the mist of anti semitic accusations
against the wrong type of Jew, to hide their own misdemeanours This is
battle to come as the Left squares up to the right and the centrists
reveal just who they prefer. Welcome to Jahr Null and Kristallnacht it's
time to choose ..::an epiphany is needed by the world..( with thanks to
Phil Knight
for this idea) and it needs to be a mighty one...the Union is dead a
united Ireland comes as Scotland prepares to leave and in Wales Welsh
Labour muse nationhood and the lure of independence..we live in
interesting times...
