Here's How Working Class Organisations Out Of Which the Labour Movement Grew Were Hijacked By Elitist Control Freaks.
A while ago I posted an article on the new elite, the meritocracy they like to call themselves although they are of no more merit than the old aristocracy whose role they have tried to usurp. The the aristocrats they thing they are a higher order of being than the masses. The evidence (and these science fans love evidence) suggests otherwise. Contact us:
Here's How Working Class Organisations Out Of Which the Labour Party Grew Were Hijacked By Elitist Control Freaks
posted by Ian R Thorpe
A lot of people would be shocked if I said the UK's Labour Party, the french Socialistes, the Social Democrat Parties in Germany and other north European states are political organisations of the extreme right. "Is this guy an idiot?" people might well ask, with some justification because all these parties are associated with the politics of the left and their political philosophies are derived broadly from the collectivist economic theories of Karl Marx.
Well no, I'm not an idiot, just someone who has always stood aside from the crowd and insisted on thinking for myself. I am however something of a news junkie, so I follow current events in my own country and around the world and am well enough informed to know that wherever there is communist or socialist government there is authoritarianism. This can be of a hard or soft variety, hard authoritarianism is easy to oppose which is why Mussolini's Italian Fascisti, Stalin's Communists and Hitler's Nazis were defeated. Soft authoritarianism, the tyranny of the weak is more difficult to oppose. "We are only telling you what to eat and drink and how to live your lives because we
about you," whine the Liberals and Social Democrats.
But do they? That caring concern is, is it not, a kind of sefishness. People of low self esteem can easily earn the approval they seek by "caring". And so they usurped the term left to harness to their right wing authoritarianism because they thought is sounded cuddlier and was less tainted by the crimes of demagogues than socialist or communist.
The terms left and right are abused as well. There is a silly story about how the left and right designation originated in France, before the revolution. In the state counsil chamber supporters of the King sat on his right hand, those who differed sat on his left. It's bollocks, people who supported the despotic King sat where he told them to, people who did not support him either kept a very low profile or they sat in the coldest, deepest dungeon of some remote chateau.
It is probably true however that the terms left and right originated in France. If you stand on a bridge in Paris, facing upstream, to your righ, the Rive Droit or Right Bank is where you will find everything to do with government and the law. On the left side of the river, the Rive Gauche or Left Bank were the markets (Les Halles, vividly depicted in Emile Zola's novel La Ventre De Paris), theatres, music halls (Vau de Ville), bars, brothels, pox doctor's consulting rooms, cabarets, Montmartre - the artists, artisans and writer's quarter and generally the chaotic, free and easy, Rabelaisian city of legend and literature. The Left Bank. The banks were there too, money lending and 'stock jobbing' was a rather disreputable profession.
So that was the left, anarchy in its true sense is a well thought out but totally impractical political philosophy, now the word has been hijacked to disguise Trotskiism, just as the term left, originally designated in Britain, to those who defied the establishment to form self help associations (friendly societies, co - operative associations etc. to help the working class improve their lot, has been perverted to give respectability to an elitist political movement that despises the ignorant masses.
But really today's left are no more left wing that The King and aristocrats who ruled for the benefit of a small elite and regarded the lower social orders as little better than animals. Many feethinkers and libertarians have had enough of this hypocrisy and like myself and the author of the article embedded below, believe it is time all socialism's dirty little secrets (and big secrets) were brought out of the closet and given a public airing.
Stephen Nolan's Pro-Migrant Stance - Boggart Blog Pays Tribute With Fat Bastard by The Macc Lads
The BBC will not accept any criticism when it comes to anything of a political nature. They would never back down.There is, it seems, no one in the entire institution who is not radically left wing and they are waging ideological war against the general population and against British culture and values.
Electoral Reform in Britain - Is It Time for True Proportional Representation?
After every British election, when around a quarter of voters find the party they voted for is hardly represented in the House Of Commons (In 2015, 8 per cent of the votes equals just 8 of the 650 members, while a party with 13% has just one), people who believe in democracy try to start a debate about reforming the voting system. And as ever, supporters of the two main parties, which benefit most from the current undemocratic system, try to stifle debate.
Globalization and the Retrun To Serfdom
When the power elites promise something that will benefit people everywhere it can be taken what the world will get is the opposite. Thus when we were told globalisation would make everybody more prosperous, abolish poverty and narrow the gap between rich and poor, only a fool would have failed to regognize what was on offer comprised a return to medieval poverty and servitude for the masses while the rich became richer.
EU Refugee Quota Scheme Unravels
The European Union (EU) faces many battles, from the one to stop the sigle currency system falling apart as nations like Greece, Spain, Italy and Portugal find the costs ofr membership outweigh the benefits, to it's latest, the Mediterranean boat people crisis as more and more people try to cross from North African to Europe illegally, with the help of human tafficking racketeers.
Mediterranean Immigrant Crisis - EU plays politics with lives
The story of the migrants trying to cross the Mediterranean from the coast of north Africa to Italy is a humanitarian crisis. But when the British government offered Royal Navy ships to help with rescue operations and in bringing to justice the ruthless criminals who take exhorbitant feees then put hundreds of lives at risk by herding their clients onto unseaworthy, overloaded boats, European Union officials started to attach political conditions to UK help
Secret 'BADASS' Intelligence Program Used To Spy On Smartphones.
Oh what a laugh, what a grin, those kool dudes who strut around with their iPhones clamped to their ear to show us that they paid $500 for a phone they could hsve bought for $150 had they been willing to do without the little Apple logo, and those who bought smart phones because, well everybody who is anybody has one, have been well and truly had.
Henry Kissinger On The New World Order
OK, let the Politically Correct screechers screech 'conspiracy Theory'. Kissinger has of course been a long time advocate of corporatist global totalitarian government by elitis oligarchs and has himself used the phrase New World Order to describe what he sees as the best hope for the future and what those of us outside his small elitist clique see as fascism
The British Jihad, Islamism And The Curse Of Multiculturalism.
As the world recoils in horror at images posted on the internet of an American journalist being cruelly and brutally beheaded by an (allegedly) British terrorist fighting for the extremists of the Islamic State in northern Iraq, we ask is the left wing folly of multiculturalism coming home to roost.
Diversity' Does Not Mean Quotas. Why Do The Left Have To Rewrite The Dictionary.
One might think, given the amount of screaming and shouting about diversity we hear from the left, they might take a little time to find out what it really means and stop applying their superficial and shallow meaning to it. The left however are hupocrites which is why they can claim to have a monopoly on truth and goodness while embracing the tactics of fascism in silencing opposition. Thus they have no problem reducing 'diversity' to a question of skin colour or sexual preference while insisting only one shade of opinion is acceptable.
The New World Order And Not A Reptillian Alien In Sight
The phrase New World Order is guaranteed to attract shouts of 'conspiracy theorist' from the useful idiots who think the political elite would be their friends (if only the right political party were in power). But with all parties offering an identical package of policies, isn't it time to explore what this New World Order the elite have been talking about for over a hundred years will mean to us if we let it come into being.
Mind The Gap - Rich And Poor Drift Further Apart
It isn't that gap we are warning against however but the widening gap in the supposedly civilised nations between the wealth and lifestyles of rich and poor. For all the fine words of consensus politicians, all the talk of a fair society and redistribution of wealth, all the manipulated statistics that are supposed to tell us how well we are doing, but never match up to the reality of most people's experience ...
Global Corporatocracy Set To Take Over The World Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, Orwell's '1984' Philip K Dick's Minority Report, which of these do the New World Order plan to use as the model for their corporate - scientific dictatorship? The answer is all of them. Concepts like individual freedom and democracy are anathema to our new unhappy lords and once the infrastructure is in place these inconveniences will be swept aside along with nations, traditional cultures and everything else that binds us to our fellow humans.
While the increasingly out of touch politicians of the main political parties, Conservative, Labour and the Liberal Democrats continue their idiotic mantra that mass immigration from from backward nation will coure our country's economic and social ills, it seems even those detached intellectuals who hold sinecures on 'think tanks' are getting the message. Mass migration is a recipe for trouble.
How your government criminally wastes your efforts and your money
The invasion of Iraq was done on the basis of government fraud about "Weapons of Mass Destruction" they knew did not exist. They killed over one million Iraqis. Whether its manslaughter or murder, its still a crime. That's why Bilderberger Foreign Secretary William Hague is so desperate to silence the chief prosecution witness, Julian Assange, whose Wikileaks website has published the documentation that convicts ...
Racism And The Left: According To Many (White) Left Wind Idiots, For A White Person To Breathe Is Racist
We have posted many articles on the intellectual bankruptcy and reliance on fascist tactics of the supporters of left wing politics. This came to a festering, supperating head in the campaign for the European Parliament elections when anybody who opposed the left's politically correct, globalist agenda was smeared as a racist. It was a shick to the left to find voters did not agree with them and in fact considered the lefties bigots and bullies. Now the soul searching begins
Westminster child abuse and murder claims 'tip of the iceberg' in scandal, Home Secretary May warns
Home Secretary Theresa May suggested during Andrew Marr Show appearance this morning more allegations and revelations are likely. She also admitted the Government is 'unlikely' to hit its net immigration target. Allegation that politicians raped and murdered young boys at paedophile orgies held at the Elm Guest House in south London are "only the tip of the iceberg" in the Westminster historic child abuse scandal, Mrs. May said.Westminster child abuse and murder claims 'tip of the iceberg' in scandal, Home Secretary May warns

One of our themes in The Daily Stirrer has been the new elise and their push for global government. Here in a cross post with Philo and Sophia we look at the political philosophy behind multiculturalism global view thinking and the push to abolish national sovereignty and hand power to supranational bureaucrats
Ersatz Culture Created By World View Theorists To Undermine Western Values Western culture is in trouble, I don't think many reasonable people would disgree with that (if you think a totalitarian global government is kool you're not reasonable, GTF out of here.) The Daily Stirrer has posted many items on the war on our traditions and values and so have other people, one such article is embedded here.
Privacy Wrecking Technologies That Are Systematically Transforming America Into A Giant Prison
Some people insisted it was all a conspiracy theory. Even now they know the extent government and corporations are snooping on us via internet and electronic technology they try to insist it is for our wellbeing and there is no sinister hidden agenda. If you find their assurances comforting you really nead to read this article
The Charge Of The Anti-enlightenment Brigade
I don't know if many of you remember London's Atheist Bus a few years ago. It toured the city bearing adverts that read: 'There's probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life.' and was a great success[ ... ] this demonstrates the Sheeple - like tendencies of those who claim they have reason on their side: the religious propagandist with the sandwich board saying 'repent, the end is nigh' was always the subject of jokes. Why do the opposing side now feel the need to parade high tech sandwich boards saying, "no need to repent, the end isn't nigh'?
Brand Plays A Blinder And Paxo Gets Stuffed
The recent and very highly publicised attacks by Russell Brand on corporate fascism, political corruption, the whoring of science and the destruction of democracy do not hail the advent of a new messiah of the working class. Instead they show how out - of - touch the elite of right and left, politicians, business leaders, the media actually are. These people are totally unaware of the realities of life for ordinary people.
Anyone who has spent time in political threads online, especially in the comments under articles on topics like abortion, same sex marriage, climate change, GM crops, vaccines and race related issues will be familiar with the phenomonon of liberal and left wing hate attacks. What used to be the politics of tolerance, free speech and democracy has become the politics of intolerance and authoritarinism with even the slightest and most reasoned dissent provoking orchestrated Nazi and Fascist style hate attacks. So what's the problem with these so called liberals?
How academic debate is suppressed on science topics like Climate Change, GMOs, Pesticides and Toxicity of medicines
Intellectual intolerance and the supposed superiority of the scientific education have led not just to the politiciisation of science but to it's being seduced by corporate money and political power. Science was ever fascism's whore of course and the egos of scientists are easily bought. This has led to a very unhealthy emergence of dogmas and orthodoxies and an intolerance of the dissent that is essential if scientific research is to have any credibility.
< Captive Minds, Conformity and Cowardly IntellectualOne of the most disturbing things about this era of [politically correct thinking, left wing concensus and multiculturalis is the absence of divrtsity in the opinions of people in academic life, politoics, the media and the professions.
Champagne Socialists, who are they, what progressive or liberal political ideals do they stand for, do these fabled lefties actually exist or are they a modern myth. The Daily Stirrer goes in pursuit of Champagne Socialists
I am not a Marxist, that does not make me a creationist. I am not a creationist, that does not make me a Marxist.Sunday morning is a lazy time for those who have no young children and no interest in religion. Every Sunday, in a slot that was for years occupied by a Christian religious program Mrs. T and I like to watch the wider discussion show that now fills that hour as we consume a leisurely breakfast. One thing that strikes me in these discussions is that the secular view is often represented by a "scientist" who labours under the misapprehension that all who participate in worship or do not subscribe to Marxist thinking are creationists.
The Politicisation Of Giving - How The Government Turned Charities Into QUANGOWe report on how the government has politicised the charity sector by making charities reliant on government grants for funding. This effectively makes the charities toothless as campaigning organisations and turns them into mere puppets, a tool government can use to manipulate public opinion.
The Flight From FreedomFleeing from freedom seems like a contradiction, after all we usually asdsiciate flight with escaping from captivity. In this first part of Existentialism for Beginners however the author identifies a human instinct that predisposes us to seek illusory safety by conforming and being part of the crowd rather than embarking on the lonely life of the free thinker, the person who truly makes their own decisions and follows their own path.
