Abu Hamza

[Red-Robbo]

Why is the article not academic? It gives quotes from books and journals and is referenced. Anyway, as you haven't bothered to read this very short and thought provoking article in its entirety then why comment?

Er, because it starts off with the imbecillic suggestion that America is being 'menaced by Communism. It was w*nk when Senator McCarthy trotted out that line in the late 1940s and it's a millionfold w*nk now.

I'm surprised you waste your time reading this sort of loony tune stuff. It's a million miles away from the working class solidarity you espouse.

I don't understand why you think I espouse 'working class solidarity'???!!! What I do espouse is for the middle class Cultural Marxists that have hijacked the British Labour Party to be sent to a godforesaken Siberian Gulag to learn the meaning of real socialism and real work in minus 40 degrees of frost. A Stalinist solution to the pseudo socialists that are the likes of EU loving traitors Lord Neil Kinnock, Lady Catherine Ashton, lawyer Tony Blair and and the anti-English bigot Gordon Brown.

Anyway, the article was written for the American audience - 'menaced by Communism' - gets the attention of that audience and I'm sure that is the purpose of that phrase in the article. From a conventional 'left-wing' pespective, I believe that Cultural Marxism and its ideology of political correctness represent revolutionary revisionism and is designed to subjugate the British working classes into a sense of hopelessness under the boot of the lawyer led regime that lawyer Tony Blair has imposed on us. A corrupt lawyer regime where foreign terrorists like Abu Hamza get plenty of 'Human Rights' and free legal representation whereas an honest working Englishman is entitled to none should he need it.

As per the article that you dismiss so readily........

"The Orwellian cast of the pathologies named shows how far Gramsci's long march has led us.

A corresponding and diabolically crafted idea is political correctness. The strong suggestion here is that in order for one not to be thought of as racist or fascist, then one must not only be nonjudgmental but must also embrace the ‘new' moral absolutes: diversity, choice, sensitivity, sexual orientation, and tolerance. Political correctness is a Machiavellian psychological ‘command and control' device. Its purpose is the imposition of uniformity in thought, speech, and behavior."

I don't see sensitivity and tolerance as bad things, but hey-ho.

Certainly wouldn't disagree with you over the New Labour hijack, but of course Blair is only the most visible manifestation of the turning of the House of Commons into a lawyerocracy; he wasn't the first self-serving barrister to make his mark there. Whether that's worse than a legislature operating at the behest of landed gentry and inherited wealth is a moot point.

Basically, I started this conversation with you as I don't think 'cultural marxism' means anything. It's just a buzz word used by some American libertarians who think they are being clever*. The marxism bit is in there to scare more mainstream conservative septics.

If you mean political corectness, just say it. I'm against the kneejerk application of that too!

Indeed, Cultural Marxism = Political Correctness. Cultural Marxism is rather different to the Marxism espoused during the 1960s and 70s where workers were supposed to be empowered via Trades Union membership etc - 'Power to the People', 'Workers of the World Unite' and all that. I just think that the ordinary English worker was shafted by the lawyer and college lecturer led Tony Blair regime. Brand spanking new courthouses built the length and breadth of our land during the Blair regime so that the smarmy Toff lawyers could make a fortune out of the beleaguered worker. New Labour is for lawyers and run by lawyers and 'politically correct' (Cultural Marxist) globalist college lecturer types.

I bet those lawyer Blair types - including Cherie Blair - have made 100s of £millions from our taxes representing the 'Human Rights' of foreign terrorists, illegal immigrants and serial criminals via the European Court of Human Rights. The likes of Abu Hamza and other foreign terrorists have been the main beneficiaries of Labour's and the Tories' open door policy to terrorists and their families.
