View Full Version : Allan West, Liberals are Communists.



Anarcho-Brocialist

This idiotic bastard asserted that liberals 'progressives' are Communists who changed their name.

“And I think that if you would take the time to study the political spectrum of ideologies, you’d understand that at the turn of the [20th] century, American Communists renamed themselves as progressives. If you study the Woodrow Wilson administration, people referred to the Woodrow Wilson administration as a progressive administration.” - Allan West

Anyone remember Woodrow Wilson? Well, during the first world war he had made it a crime to be a Socialist in America, and imprisoned many individuals who held pro-socialist rallies in public.

The biggest black mark against Wilson, was the assault on civil liberties dating from the United States’ entry into World War I, and it is this part of Woodrow Wilson that also speaks to our own time. The Espionage and Sedation Acts in 1917 and 1918 outlawed criticism of government policy, including—absurdly enough—anyone who obstructed the sale of liberty bonds. “By arousing public opinion to such a pitch of excitement,” writes George Tindall in America: A Narrative History, “the war effort channeled the crusading zeal of progressivism into grotesque campaigns of ‘Americanism’ and witch-hunting.” German books were banned from schools, German music from local auditoriums. Sauerkraut became “liberty cabbage.” Thousands of socialists, communists, unionists, and “suspicious” foreigners were arrested, some without warrants, and a number were imprisoned and deported.

Conservatives, once again, show their lack of acumen on leftist ideologies.

The term 'liberal' or 'progressive' is a derogatory one used by right-wingers to describe Cultural Marxists. Cultural Marxists aren't Communists as such, in fact they may not even be aware they're espousing collectivists dogma, but they're certainly on the leftist/socialist/communist side of the ideological spectrum.

The thing is, though, liberals or 'progressives', if you will, aren't Marxists at all. There are worlds of difference between communists and liberals.

Liberals are the sort of people who reject the 'socialist/communist' tag (because it's too political) and then go on to argue that private property doesn't exist because everything belongs to the state, i.e they've adopted left-wing 'commonsense' without really understanding where their views originated. Modern liberalism is a dangerous concoction of ignorance and bigotry.

If they think everything belongs to the state, they are still worlds away from being communists. Anyway, no liberal I've ever heard of has rejected private property. It sounds as though you've been talking to some very odd closet-Stalinists or whatever, to be honest.

It's probably unfair -on my behalf -to caricature a liberal and then beat the strawman up but in my experience liberals tend to share many opinions that are firmly rooted in leftist thought, i.e a rejection of the free market, the belief that the state has the moral right to confiscate private property at will, state interference in the civil sphere, enhanced -rather than equal- rights for minorities etc etc. Liberal progressives are lefties, even if they believe they're taking an apolitical 'caring' stance on everything from healthcare to immigration.

Conservatives, once again, show their lack of acumen on leftist ideologies.Yeah, red-scare/palmer raids, racial segregation of the federal government, and WWI... some radical eh.

This argument has been on the fringe-right for some time - usually taking the CPUS's platform from their popular-front pro-Democratic Party turn period and then drawing the similarities between these proposals and the post-war reforms that Democrats supported or, were passed at least, in the post-war era.

There is a grain of truth in the connection between radical and liberal politics in the US, but the right-wingers have it flipped. Many former-communists (often in the post-McCarthyism era where it was both harder to be openly radical and many radicals were disillusioned by the USSR and WWII in general) founded or helped found liberal institutions - they became union bureaucrats (many former CPers), became academics (New Left radicals), started reformist organizations that either began left-wing and became liberal or were liberal popular-front type groups. But while radical politics can give a movement on the upswing a radical backbone and core (like Occupy or the Civil Rights movement as it moved towards being a black power movement) when movements decline and general politics shift to the right many former radicals get pulled along with the tide. In other words, the relationship between radical politics and establishment liberalism, is not one of communists secretly moving things under the radar, but of co-option of popular or class movements and reforms. To look at the history of the CP and say that it has moved the Dems towards it more than it's moved towards liberal Democratic positions, is really to claim that the tale wags the dog.

I don't know who first coined the term but it's become part of libertarian's lexicon over recent years because it accurately describes a movement that at first glance seems disparate and incomprehesible. To answer your question I expect it is used by the far right. But using the term alone isn't enough make someone a fascist, in the same way that arguing for the re-nationalisation of certain key industries doesn't automatically make you a Marxist-Leninist. Perhaps a bit of an overreaction on your behalf?

The term liberal/progressive is an Americanism but the values of the liberal/progressive are virtually constant so ideologically there's not much difference between a British progressive and his American counterpart.

As the OP is talking about an American politician though I don't see why you're taking issue with references to the American right. What I'm saying is applicable to the thread topic.

cultural marxists, a term used by many rightists(from fash to new rights to libertarians) to call social dems, greens, liberals and so on commies. mostly cultural marxism is used to describe either that the political mainstream mindset is somewhat marxist or that certain policies like mulitculturalism are marxist.

if i remember right, anders breivik talked about cultural marxism and cultural marxists several times in his pamphlet.

its a stupid term invented solely for the reason to call non-commies commies.

"Cultural Marxist" is a bankrupt term because the only people calling for worker-control and workplace democratization (i.e. real Marxism) are... well, real Marxists!

Other bourgeois left groups may have benefited historically from struggles that Marxists participated in, but other than that they have nothing to do with Marxism at all.

That's great, but why are you bringing these 'questions' up in a thread based on U.S politics? It's seems like very unfortunate timing to me!

Tbh questions of this nature are probably best dealt with with a PM rather than in the middle of an interesting thread. It's unfair to the OP to derail his topic by introducing personal grievences that have no relevance here.

It is also closely related to the idea of a left (or even marxist) domination of culture, media and academia. A post-1968 variant of the same old red scares and judeo-bolshevik conspiracies.

A related concept is "Political Correctness", which is essentially media and hegemony analysis as seen through the eyes of the far right, usually anyway. I'm always very insulted/amused when I am accused of being "pc". Ironically the idea of a "left wing elite" is more accepted by the establishment than say, the idea of abolishing private property.

I'm not sure what you mean by this. Political Correctness is a cultural phenomenom that is designed to prevent society from speaking frankly on issues through fear of causing offence. Instead of debating controversial topics honestly PC allows left-wingers to shut down the debate prematurely so the opinions of others are never heard. It's a great wheeze if it happens to protect your prejudices from criticism, but it's represents tyranny to those us who value outdated concepts such as freedom of speech.

And I happen to think the political discourse by and large are dominated by exactly the same people that whine about "political correctness". Racism, sexism and homophobia are still dominant. The capitalists still rule supreme. I say the latter because sometimes, although less commonly, accusations of "political correctness" also deals with economic issues.

Modern liberalism is a dangerous concoction of ignorance and bigotry.

Economic liberalism is the ideological belief in giving all people economic freedom (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_freedom), and as such granting people with more basis to control their own lives and make their own mistakes.[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberal_economy#cite_note-Adams-0) It is an economic philosophy that supports and promotes individual liberty (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberty) and choice in economic matters and private property (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_property) in the means of production. Although economic liberalism can be supportive of government regulation to a certain degree, it tends to oppose government intervention in the free market (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_market) when it inhibits free trade and open competition, however it can also lead to the support of government intervention in order to remove private monopoly (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monopoly), as this limits the liberty of the poor. Economic liberalism emphasizes that people should make their own choices with their money, so long as it doesn't infringe on the liberty of others.

the only modern version of that thing is Neoliberalism, a political doctrine enabled by tatcher and reegan back in the 70s that failed miserably.

The ''liberals'' of today still believe in a liberal capitalist economic system, but with a fews state intervention here and there.

trust me, my country (canada) and my province was run by liberal for decades and beside some state intervention here and there those folks absolutely believe in economic liberalism, they are just not stupid enoough to think we could go back to the 1800s.

To a certain extent Cultural Marxists have a vested interest in keeping the flames of inequality alive because it ensures their ideology remains relevent. Instead of accepting that the battle has been won: women have the vote, civil partnerships are a right and the homesexual age of consent has been lowered etc etc, they eek out new grievances to pretend there's still a job that needs doing. What was once an admirable movement has slowly descended into an illiberal farce as campaigners -who once fought for the right of minorities to be treated as equals- now want them treated differently under the guise of 'positiive discrimination' and the like. Despite what the left may believe racism, sexism and homophobia are no longer dominant mainstream positions: there's been a paradigm shift that has allowed professional leftists to overreact and create mountains out of molehills which gives the impression that racism etc is still a big problem.

Liberalism refers to the intellectual tradition that was in vogue during the Enlightenment and was influential in the revolutionary movements during this time. It is a bourgeois mode of thought in that it was developed during the emerging bourgeois epoch, when the bourgeoisie were dealing the ending blow to the remnants of feudal society. Key thinkers of this time were of course Locke, Rousseau, Voltaire, Paine, etc etc etc. But the fact of the matter is that progressives, conservatives, and libertarians are all ideological descendents of this movement (i.e. they are all liberals). They still hold true to the concepts of social contract, ethics as a methodology, idealism, analysis of human rights, republicanism, market capitalism amongst many other ideas that were developed upon during the Enlightenment and thereafter.

We regard liberals as enemies of the working class conquest of power because they operate within a realm of thought antithetical to the destruction of capitalist society. Marxists have shed all reservations for most of these Enlightenment concepts because they understand all ideological trends only serve to legitimize the mode of production and class hegemony under a given mode of production.

So in short, my fellow libertarian, don't give yourself too much credit, for we regard you and progressives as two elements of the same poison.

Thanks for giving a good example of my point. Women have the vote, clearly feminism is irrelevant. :rolleyes: Ah yes the indignation of middle and upper class, straight, white males. Racism, sexism and homophobia are still dominant, the only reason you do not see it is because it probably does not affect you directly and of course because you are busy trying to protect your own interests, which in turn gives rise to your illusions. The thing is though these illusions have always been the same, from decade to decade. Every step forward has been a step too far for some.

Schools in America are more segregated than they were when Jim Crow was established. Black kids get the poorest, most run down schools, generally. In New York City, 80% of people who are stopped by police according to their new stop-and-frisk policy have been black or hispanic. In courts, black people are more likely to be given harsher sentences than white people for the same crimes.

Multiple studies have shown that 100% of women (at least in the major cities) have experienced some sort of harassment on the streets. Women are still paid less than men for the same work. People still try and excuse rape or place the blame partially on the woman for rape if she was drunk, or for what she was wearing, or for her sexual history. Girls generally do better than boys do in school and in testing when it comes to maths and sciences, but in adulthood, few go into these fields and are instead funneled into low-paying jobs which happen to traditionally be considered "women's work"

Basically you're wrong.

For me that general rule of thumb is that anyone for whom the distinction between "individualism" and "collectivism" makes any sense is certainly some brand of bourgeoise.

For a communist this distinction does not make any sense for the ties between "individual" and "collective" are so many and varied, that an attempt to hold them apart of give more value to one of them is a waste of time.

BTW, whenever a right winger complains about political correctness, 9 times out of 10 its just him wanting to say something and have the privilege of not being called out on it, or not have any responsibility for what he says.

If you say something racist, and then your called a racist, or taken off the air (because guess what the airwaves are public and most people don't want to hear your racist ass), thats not political correctness, its you being responsible for your words.

As far as Allan West, the guy is a clown and always has been, he's basically the Glenn Beck of the House.

They misrepresent Gramsci's observations on the reactionary role of the church in Italy, they claim that its an attack on Christianity, when in fact it's an attack on bourgeois morality that justifies their system. They don't like admitting that their glorious founding fathers were indeed prejudiced. If anything, they are the real censors who do not want us to address these issues, but rather want us to keep quiet and accept their mantra about America and how great it is..

As I explained above Cultural Marxism isn't the same thing as actual Marxism, indeed that's the whole point of CM: it's a process that covertly introduces Marxist concepts into societies that have outwardly rejected Marx's theories. Put it this way, if someone called me a Cultural Capitalist because I supported a raft of related social policies that put the individual before the collective I wouldn't complain as it would be a fair description of my beliefs, so why do leftists have hard time accepting the perfectly reasonable term Cultural Marxist? Nobody is saying Marxism, it's a related school of thought that is trying to achieve cultural hegemony.

What Marxist concepts????

Marxism is an analysis of capitalist production and distribution, i.e. how it works.

Its like Saying Cultural-Keynsianism ... It just sounds rediculous.

If someone called you a Cultural Capitalist, I would call that person an idiot for putting 2 words together that have nothing to do with each other.

Capitalism is a way to organize production and distribution of resources (i.e. an economic structure)

Culture is a whole different thing, does economics and culture effect each other? Sure, but calling someone a Cultural capitalist does'nt make any sense, unless of coarse that person owns a company that produces and distributes culture ...

What Marxist concepts????

Marxism is an analysis of capitalist production and distribution, i.e. how it works.

Its like Saying Cultural-Keynsianism ... It just sounds rediculous.

Marxism isn't only an 'impartial' economic analysis of industrialised society, it's also part religion, part prophecy and an ideology that espouses collectivist controls over the individual. CM's aren't Marxists proper, but they've bought into this ideal of state oversight and intrusion in all areas of our lives to make sure the "bourgeois" aren't disenfranchising anyone.

Semantics. It's a term that accurately conveys a person's ideological persuasion, a CM -generally speaking- is someone who's staunchly anti-American, pro immigration (or at least sceptical of those who argue against mass immigration), concerned about global warming, obsessed with equality, welfare and human rights blah blah blah blah blah. A collectivist in other words. Some of these things spill over into economics but they're not a direct result of economic analysis.

Where does Marx talk about collectivist control over the individual???

How is it religion? Is Adam Smith a religion? Also prophecy???

Where did marx expouse state oversight and intursion in any areas of life?

What Marx have you read???

Marx's main work, i.e. Kapital 1, 2 and 3 is basically 100% analysis of capitalism.

It does'nt accurately convey anything because there is nothing Marxist about it.

btw, since your ripping on collectivism whats more collectivist than being Patriotic and anti-immigration???

Concern about global warming just basically means paying attention to science.

equality is such a broad term its basically meaningless.

Welfare is economic

Most people are concerned about human rights ...

If they are not the result of economic analysis stop using dumb terms like Cultural Marxism which is NOTHING MORE than an attempt by right wing pundits to scare stupid people using cold war predjudices, and you are proving that you are one of those stupid people who buy it dispite not knowing the first thing about Marxism.

As I explained above Cultural Marxism isn't the same thing as actual Marxism, indeed that's the whole point of CM: it's a process that covertly introduces Marxist concepts into societies that have outwardly rejected Marx's theories. Put it this way, if someone called me a Cultural Capitalist because I supported a raft of related social policies that put the individual before the collective I wouldn't complain as it would be a fair description of my beliefs, so why do leftists have hard time accepting the perfectly reasonable term Cultural Marxist? Nobody is saying Marxism, it's a related school of thought that is trying to achieve cultural hegemony.

Yawn. I never said it was a conspiracy, those are your words not mine. I'm using Cultural Marxism as a term to describe those who have perhaps unwittingly bought into a left-wing analysis of society's problems and subsequently support leftist solutions. Say if a child had been brought up in a right-wing family (who for arguments sake supported all of the things I do) and therefore became staunchly right-wing, I'd still consider that child to be a bit indoctrinated because they hadn't acquired their worldview independently after critical though, their ideology had been served up to them on a plate by a biased 3rd party. That's how I see CM's. They have a hard time distinguishing between leftist ideology and objective reality because Western culture is laced with collectivist anti right-wing dogma.

Mr Griffin said the colour was "irrelevant" and said Mr Straw would not dare go to New Zealand and tell a Maori he was not "indigenous". "We are the aborigines here," he claimed.

Challenged on his views on civil partnership, he said: "I said that a lot of people find the sight of two grown men kissing in public really creepy. I understand that homosexuals don't understand that but that's how a lot of us feel, Christians feel that way, Muslims, all sorts of people."

He admitted sharing a platform with former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke - but described him as "always totally non-violent".

I'm a UKIP supporter, if I was in America I'd almost certainly be a Teabagger. I'm not really sure if you can call either of these movements "fascist" but if supporting a small state with a commitment to universal human rights makes me the next Adolf Hitler then so be it. And yes, like most UKIPers I'm strongly opposed to multi-culturalism, mass immigration and Islamification because I find it very hard to identify with many foreign practices and traditions. I don't think they add any value to the UK so I see no harm in advocating an end to the multi-culturalist experiment.

I'm not saying that. I'm saying that there is that if someone describes themselves as a nationalist in the 21st century, there is a strong chance that they are also a bigot.

It's another meaningless term though, isn't it? When it comes to politics I must admit I'm a bit of bigot because I'm reluctant to accept the views of those who disagree with me. Similarly when all someone's got to offer is smart alec remarks along the lines of "but you're a right-wing fascist" it's accurate to describe them a bigot because they're sticking to their guns and not considering other viewpoints.

Yes nationalists are bigots. But so are Marxists. And libertarians. And socialists. We're all bigots.




Pretty sure his meeting with the KKK was him giving a lecture on how to market racism in the present day. Either way I don't think what he said even really matters when he is accepting speaking engagements with the ku klux klan

Well his actual words do sort of matter because Griffin was used as an example of a white racist who's allowed to get away with unsavoury comments. Although I was aware of the KKK meeting I havn't seen him make any especially racist comments first hand, I just wondered if the other poster had any evidence that proved otherwise.

As I explained above Cultural Marxism isn't the same thing as actual Marxism, indeed that's the whole point of CM: it's a process that covertly introduces Marxist concepts into societies that have outwardly rejected Marx's theories. Put it this way, if someone called me a Cultural Capitalist because I supported a raft of related social policies that put the individual before the collective I wouldn't complain as it would be a fair description of my beliefs, so why do leftists have hard time accepting the perfectly reasonable term Cultural Marxist? Nobody is saying Marxism, it's a related school of thought that is trying to achieve cultural hegemony.
So it
1) has nothing to do with Marxism
2) does not resemble Marxism
3) is not necessarily advanced by Marxists

and yet you still find it a meaningful term to be used

It's a useful term because it puts a clear stamp on a number of movements that at first may seem unrelated. Instead of pretending that global warming has anything to do The Science for example by highlighting it as just another aspect of Cultural Marxism it makes it that much easier to analyse. We can dispense with the scientific chicanery and instead concentrate on the inevitable collectivist controls Al Gore and his motley crew want to adopt. Marxist solutions to Marxist problems.

I am well aware that the orthodox opinion is that six million Jews were gassed and cremated and turned into lampshades. Orthodox opinion also once held that the world is flat.
—Nick Griffin, [29] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_Griffin#cite_note-menace-28)

"this bloody Jew (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jew) ... whose only claim is that his grandparents died in the Holocaust".[ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_Griffin#cite_note-Ryanp63-30)

That was not my country any more. Why not come down and do it in Thurrock, do it in Stoke, do it in Burnley? Do it somewhere where there are still significant numbers of English and British people, and they haven't been ethnically cleansed from their own country."[ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_Griffin#cite_note-lynchmob-92)

"There's no such thing as a black Welshman (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Welsh_people)",[ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_Griffin#cite_note-EHRCinterview-115)

In an interview with the BBC on 8 July 2009, during a discussion on European immigration, he proposed that the EU should sink boats carrying illegal immigrants, to prevent them from entering Europe. Although the interviewer (BBC correspondent Shirin Wheeler) implied that Griffin may have wished the EU to "murder people at sea", he quickly corrected her by saying "I didn't say anyone should be murdered at sea — I say boats should be sunk, they can throw them a life raft and they can go back to Libya"

"The TV footage of dozens of 'gay' demonstrators flaunting their perversion in front of the world's journalists showed just why so many ordinary people find these creatures so repulsive."[120] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_Griffin#cite_note-119) The BNP states that, privately, homosexuality should be tolerated, but that it "should not be promoted or encouraged".[108] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_Griffin#cite_note-counteringsmears-107) It opposed the introduction of civil partnerships and wishes to ban what it perceives as the promotion of homosexuality in schools and the media.

"... in Britain and indeed the entire West, today, we are part way through a process – artificially imposed by a dogmatic liberal ruling class - that is steadily destroying the very possibility of preserving our racial and cultural differences

We wouldn’t want asylum seekers from Iraq or Afghanistan or Somalia or wherever, even if they did bring material benefits, because even the greatest such gains would be more than offset by the fact that their very presence in such numbers will inevitably transform our society, changing Britain and the British peoples into something which is not British and not what is politely called ‘European’, and impolitely called ‘white’. Conversely, if the remaining 40,000 whites of overwhelmingly British stock facing brutal persecution in Robert Mugabe’s Marxist hell-hole all wanted to come to Britain, we would welcome them with open arms. They are our kith and kin, they share our values and our culture, and they would integrate immediately and earn their own living

I'm not in politics for cheap cheers; if I was I could probably have had a safe Tory seat years ago. I'm in it, among other things, because I want to help stop the immigration which is destroying this and every other white nation in the world. Then I want to see that deadly tide turned. I want to see Britain become the 99 per cent genetically white country she was just eleven years before I was born, and I want to die knowing that I have helped to set her on a course whereby her future genetic makeup will one day not even resemble that of January 1948, but that of July 1914. Nothing will ever turn me from working towards that final vision

Without the White race, nothing matters. [Other right-wing parties] believe that the answer to the race question is integration and a futile attempt to create ‘Black Britons’, while we affirm that non-Whites have no place here at all and will not rest until every last one has left our land.”

The term 'liberal' or 'progressive' is a derogatory one used by right-wingers to describe Cultural Marxists. Cultural Marxists aren't Communists as such, in fact they may not even be aware they're espousing collectivists dogma, but they're certainly on the leftist/socialist/communist side of the ideological spectrum.

Cultural Nazis aren't fascists as such, in fact they may not even be aware they're espousing statist-corporate dogma, but they're certainly on the rightist/reactionary/fascist side of the ideological spectrum.

Liberals ARE NOT communists.

Simple as that. Maybe liberal reasoning (individualism.) can be used to justify communist goals, but communism and liberalism are mutually exclusive ideologies. You can be a liberal and a socialist. But, you can't be a communist and a liberal.

Not to say that communism is bad. (The more libertarian forms of it, anarcho-communism and council communism are perfectly fine to work with for me.)

Of course, most liberals are not socialists. (Most as in almost all. No, all liberals except for me and a few obscure intellectuals.) Even social liberals, who are more like social democrat-lite with liberal reasoning, are not socialists.

If Congressman West wants to see a blatant relationship between Communists and the mainstream parties, he should not be looking at the Democrats but instead the roots of the Republican party. Radical German 48ers were among the groups who were involved in the foundation of the Republican Party, and Marx took note of Lincoln's re-election in the middle of the Civil War enough to warrant a congratulatory letter from the IWA. Two German socialists, August Willich and Joseph Weydemeyer fought in the Civil War and were staunch supporters of the Republican Party then.

Even later before the Republican shift, progressives in Wisconsin cooperated with the "Progressive" Republicans there to pass legislation that were pro-labor (oh the irony). LaFollette, La Guardia, Marcantonio were all Republicans who accepted help from left goals to pursue a mutual cause.

But as far as Congressman West is concerned though, as well as those who think like him, any one slightly 'left' of them are die hard REDS so it's a moot point to them.

No. But it sounds like you might be, I'm sure you'll be capitalising off the back of his actions for quite some time by smugly labelling anyone who's vaguely concerned with Cultural Marxism as a Breivik sympathiser/fan etc.
Your entire ideology is Breivik-light though, or what we used to call a "secret commies are taking over the world/women and minorities are too uppity" a sneaky little racist. No doubt you will now cry and say I am calling you names, but fact is your entire ideology is completely bankrupt. But unlike us, since there is no shady marxist conspiracy pulling the figurative strings of society, you actually have the monied interests behind you. Murdochmedia, the oil industry, the conservative political establishment. What really irks me about especially american liberals is that they believe opinions such as yours is down to mere uninformed stupidity, betraying their own elitism. It is no such thing. it is a well oiled political machine, it is a strain of conservative political thought that has an overlap with the fascist right, as explained earlier in regards to the idea of "cultural marxism", "poltiical correctness" etc. Now this *is* a fairly broad spectrum and the phrase fascism is sometimes thrown around too lightly. However, we have seen in some countries, my own included, the classical far right moving to try and fill this political mold. Indeed speaking of breivik, while his ideology is very much copy paste, it owes more to groups like the EDL and the hard right of the republicans than it does to classical nazis. Claiming to believe in democracy and equality is the oldest trick in the book. hell, even such a stellar democrat as general Franco held speeches to that effect. But of course if you were to add an immense threat eating away at your nations institutions and culture, teh veyr fabric of society, suddenly martial law is completely permisseble to protect these things. This is the same reason why most of your ideological forebears capitulated to fascism. fascism was the final solution to the "cultural marxist" problem of that day. But even in a less extreme situation than during the rise of fascism your ideas stll reflect the paranoid worldview that a certain class of white men tend to find very appealing. You try to present yourself as reasonable when you are nothing of the sort, instead acting out the basest of prejudices in society. Others have adressed you with questions, as has been seen this has been a waste of time since you are both unable and unwilling to answer them. Now tell me how you *really* feel?

He can place the blame squarely where it belongs... with himself, since he pleaded guilty. God, you're such a tool :crying:

And who would've guessed this fat douchenozzle used the "I'm not racist, I have black friends" defense...

This is exactly what I mean. For the entire thread almost everyone's denied the existence of Cultural Marxism and written it off as a right-wing conspiracy theory, but when it comes to the litmus test: the incarceration of Liam Stacey, you cannot wait to show support for this rather blatant example of white discrimination. Only in a Marxist society would someone find themselves inside for writing a few words that contradicted the prevailing orthodoxy. Hell, I expect you believe I'm a fascist for daring to the put the words 'white' and 'discrimination' next to each other your brain has been so distorted with CM mumbo jumbo!

Ya, except that whole part where you actually agree with his views (except where he gets a lil too socialist :rolleyes:).

You're only fooling yourself comrade. Just be a man and admit you think whitey is the greatest thing that ever happened to the world.

And again; I've posted Griffin's racism. Are you going to respond?


Why not post a legitimate source, i.e a newspaper article or a speech of his with dates (i.e so we're not persecuting him for what he said when he was 18) and then we'll discuss his racist comments. I'm not really interested in quotations that are doing the rounds in leftist circles because inevitably they'll be the result of hearsay or liberal fantasies.

If you could show me where I once "showed support for this rather blatant example of white discrimination."

Honestly I could care less about this. He's a racist sure. A sociopath, definitely. But he pleaded guilty. Period. No other argument necessary. He pleaded guilty, and no justice system anywhere ever can protect a defendant that pleads guilty from facing judicial punishment.

Almost all of that was from the wikipedia about him. All of them, except the holocaust denial, were taken after he became head of the BNP.

Most leftists support unconditional freedom of speach.

That does'nt mean that you can threaten people, nor does it mean you can say racist things and not be called a racist or taken off public airwaves because people don't want to hear your racism.

I honestly don't know what your talking about, you are totally free to join a racist group or be racist if you want.

In a free society based on private property the owners of airwaves would have the final say over the sort of content they choose to put out. If they decide to include 'racists' prepared to tackle the thorny issue of multi-culturalism that is their prerogotive and the state has no business interfering for the sake of minorities or the collective good.

If someone is espusing racist views on the 'public' airwaves instead of using the coercion of the state I suggest that people turn off their T.Vs and radios or listen to something else. That is called the free market solution.

Well, thats basically how it is now.

But anyway arguing that the airwaves can be "owned" is a very very sticky argument, even for a libertarian.

The irony is of course that the Cultural Marxist denial of rights for Europeans is driving people into the arms of far leftist parties such as the BNP. Liberals are guilty of setting up this false dichotomy whereby you're either in favour of zero borders and the non-propertied Marxist state or you're a fascist only capable of thinking in terms of skin colour, and as such traditionally centrist parties have allowed themselves to be bullied into accepting multi-culturalism out of fear of being branded 'wacist'. This has cleared the field and allowed the BNP to capitalise on growing concerns over mass immigration.

If the left were less hysterical and accepted the validity of equal rights for all and a British state that put the interests of British people first these ideas would return to the mainstream and the BNP would soon become irrelevent. If you keep crying wolf about fascists and racists though you're only going to strengthen the resolve of those who reject Cultural Marxist political orthodoxy.

I think its clear that the topic of race makes you absolutely delusional and unable to maintain a coherent thought pattern, or to recognize the actual arguments of your opponents (as opposed to what you wanted to see).

I have shown you the evidence. I have given you the sources. I'm not trying to be a dick. I'm trying to raise your consciousness. Just admit what and who you are.

Nobody is denying the rights of europeans (at least not in the way you're suggesting). Center-left liberals are almost always nationalist, in the sense that they support nation-states. Not a single one of them, that I know of, supports the end of private property. You can't support "equal" rights, and at the same time promote the rights of one people over another (brits, in your words). You're just delusional.

Marxism is the ideology that promotes freedom through dictatorship. A core belief in Marxism is that some groups (the bourgeois) systematically suppress other groups (the proletariat) so it's the destinty of the alienated to rise up and grab the levers of power and then install a benelovent dictatorship that'll write the wrongs that occurred under the capitalist mode of production. It's basically an illogical mixture of fairytale fantasy and authoritiarianism that utilises Macheavellian logic, i.e because the end goal is a 'stateless, classless, moneyless' society' whatever preceeds that is mere detail and a stepping stone to true justice.

I've explained Cultural Marxism above but here's a good Youtube video that goes over it in more detail: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Jlk1frpWrI

You're not going to win any support in the mainstream by writing Griffin off as a racist white supremacist, it makes you look hysterical and incapable of reasoned thought. This tactic may have worked when the BNP were an unelected party with no method of communicating directly to voters, but as Griffin is now an MEP he has the profile to expose these comments as part of the smear campaign of the unthinking left.

I don't know how my thought can get any more reasoned, more than "this guy is x, here is sources a b and c to prove it." I would think it more unreasonable to see the quotes, dismiss them as unsourced. Then see the sources and just forget about them, as if they were never posted. Face it, dude's a racist.

Now, you can either accept that, and claim that racism is good for society. Or you can continue denying it and exposing yourself for the delusional bigot we all suspected you of being in the first place. The choice is yours.



I will critique BNP specific policies. This should be clear to you as I have followed through on every time you tried to call us out.

Please just go away you vile little troll.
That's a bit opportunistic, don't you think?


Franz Fanonipants doesn't care about white people.
He doesn't have to.


Yeah ... Thats all I say ....

No it's basically selective expropriation of land from whites.

If it was based on class rather than race it would'nt be racism.

As I said, its a small thing, and not that widespread, but you claiming that its IMPOSSIBLE for racism to be against whites is untrue, again a lot of racism has been from whites against other whites.
Racism is a specific form of discrimination. What do you mean by racism by whites against whites? Like anti-irish sentiment?

Whites were the bourgeois in Zimbabwe, race was class.


Sure, but there were times where there were political racist policies against whites.

Now obviously the whites in that country were in an advantageous economic position due to colonial racism, but that does'nt make the political racism by the government later on NOT racism.
Racism is systemic. There was no systemic racism against whites, there was discrimination within Zimbabwe. It's not semantics, we're talking about [global] capitalism.

i know but if your an ml who complains about how the frankfurt school doesnt hate the west enough and a gung ho anti imperialist you might as well be a third wordlist. i mean to be fair your probably better on race than a lot of these white motherfuckers but your also one of the id politics guys and you adhere to a dead 20th century ideology so i mean

Yes. Certainly more when you said it was boring or whatever compared to now.
