Reform UK is clearly winning over the minds of class unconscious workers. One of them is a young relative of mine. I’d love to have a talk in future, in a good setting, to help the lad out of this reactionary path he’s headed now.
It’s the typical stuff: immigrants committing sexual violence, stealing jobs, out breeding the “whites”, coming into the country illegally, given all the money, not working, benefit exploiting, being uncivilised savages etc.
I’ve heard the co-workers are enforcing this reactionary world view. Obviously I cannot barge in to the workplace, and change the environment, so I’m expecting this will take quite a bit longer than one afternoon tea lasts.
I believe he’ll be a fine lad, if he doesn’t fall any further, and finds a way out. I just feel I shouldn’t let him to dive deeper. There is already plenty of fascist propaganda to dispel.
How would you, dear online comrades, go about setting a young lumpen lad on the path to gain class consciousness?
PS. Title in the tune of Drunken Sailor.
Darkernations is doing the thing the redsails article is preaching against. Only instead of believing they are “special” because they have seen through the lies, they believe everyone can see through the lies but darkernations is one of the “Special Morally superior” who is rejecting the lies.
I’m saying when we fail we have to consider why; I’m saying that people intelligently seek the narratives that they do to uphold their material perspectives which undermines your claim above.
And you give the impression there’s a bit of projection of going on; what you said about the Israelis is downright bigoted against Palestenians, I didn’t want to call that out because it may derail what we are talking about but here we are.
