Why are conservatives opposed to multiculturalism and diversity?

[gryphus]

multiculturalism and diversity are the greatest strengths in the universe. the more diverse america become the more powerful it becomes.

why are cons opposed to this though?

[Anglo-Saxon Philistine]

Bourgeois "diversity" and "multiculturalism" means, at most, that certain bourgeois members of minority nations can hold positions of influence - as lieutenants of the bourgeoisie of the dominant nation. That, or the state is partitioned into spheres of influence by the different national factions of the bourgeoisie. Either way, minority workers still get screwed over. Just look at how well Turks and Moroccans fare in multi-kulti Germany.

And the conservatives, of course, represent that faction of the bourgeoisie whose interest lies in overt national chauvinism. Liberals represent that faction of the bourgeoisie that requires national antagonism to be suppressed (resulting in covert national chauvinism, of course).

But most importantly, why should an American socialist care if "America" is "powerful"? "America" means, not the American workers, but the American bourgeoisie. An American socialist can only be hostile to "America" - the main enemy is always at home.

[Mr. Piccolo]

Conservatives often use the multiculturalism and diversity bogeyman to whip up support among workers who see foreigners or cultural non-conformists as a threat. It is another tactic to get people to place the blame for their problems on some outside force instead of the oppressive economic system that they live under.

I'm 99% sure the OP is a fascist shitball trolling the forum. Ban the prick.

[Stirnerian]

Not all of them are.

We do ourselves a disservice when we analyse all Rightists as belonging to nationalist/nativist factions. The big international bourgeoisie embrace a limited - I'd posit distorted - version of multiculturalism because it is in their economic interests to do so.

This cuts at the heart of the cleavage between the national-bourgeoisie, which formerly supported protectionism and still today are not particularly animated by free trade, and the international-bourgeoisie, or 'the multinationals'.
