Socialist Quotes for Sunday Reflection pt 120

.....the Socialist Motherland Party is banned on Twitter.  We took a stand in defence of women, in defiance of the transfascists, boldly stating that Men are Men, Women are Women, and nothing  - clothing, make up, surgery, feelings, wishing - can ever change that.  Thank you Posie Parker for fighting for sanity and biology.  There are not many people who refuse to submit to the tyranny of the trans agenda, and the major platforms are culling people who do.  Hopefully Parler will not fold as well.  We must all do all we can to stand up for nature and sanity in these darkening times.

...........................

First they came for the reactionary nationalists (BNP, NF, EDL, BF etc) and nobody stood up for them because as much as people like to use the Voltaire quote about fighting to the death for people to say what they like how er much they disagree with it, in practice it doesn't happen when people exist outside our comfort zone. The Socialist Motherland Party didn't stand up for them either.

Then they came for the conspiracy theorists and as much as we did object to silencing people just because they they things which are outside the officially allowed area of debate, our protests weren't enough.

Then - yes, we should have known - they started coming for us. In the case of the Socialist Motherland Party, a 24 hour ban has just been finished for upsetting a person unknown in a reply which elevated objective provable facts over subjective imaginary feelings, confounded by two offensive images: the first equating the behaviour of some overzealous UK policeman with that of a certain formation of law enforcers in 1930's/1940's Germany who were 'only obeying orders' when they enforced regime tyranny; the second being an image of the ruling class of pre-revolutionary Russia about to have a bad day at the hands of the Proletariat.

So be aware Comrade, the searchlight of Facebook has highlighted the so-called far right, the so-called conspiracy theorists and now it is upon the anti idpol Socialists.

A ban here, a ban there, and before long a total ban. Don't wait for the time when the platform is No Platforming us, find alternatives now, and get ready to abandon the ship which is sinking under the weight of globalist liberal capitalist censorship.

And so it begins. Having been permanently banned on Twitter and repeatedly sanctioned on Facebook, the Socialist Motherland Party is branching out into unknown territory on Parler and VK:

Here, let's make it way simple

The Trotskyists are using communism as a false front for their globalist capitalism.

Despite all the risks that can accompany it, we must try to evict the Americans from Europe at any price.

The tutelary power, the United States, has created customs of security and ease, and one thing leading to another, the renunciation of personal initiative and subjection. [...]
Atlanticism is an opium for political Europe, Americanism is a morphine that deadens our minds and strips us of all personality.

Jean Thiriart

"The white liberal aren’t white people who are for independence, who are moral and ethical in their thinking. They are just a faction of white people that are jockeying for power. The same as the white conservative is a faction of white people that are jockeying for power. They are fighting each other for power and prestige, and the one that is the football in the game is the Negro, 20 million black people. A political football, a political pawn, an economic football, and economic pawn. A social football, a social pawn. The liberal elements of whites are those who have perfected the art of selling themselves to the Negro as a friend of the Negro. Getting sympathy of the Negro, getting the allegiance of the Negro, and getting the mind of the Negro. Then the Negro sides with the white liberal, and the white liberal use the Negro against the white conservative. So that anything that the Negro does is never for his own good, never for his own advancement, never for his own progress, he’s only a pawn in the hands of the white liberal. The worst enemy that the Negro have is this white man that runs around here drooling at the mouth professing to love Negros, and calling himself a liberal, and it is following these white liberals that has perpetuated problems that Negros have."

- Malcolm X

From Carl Schmitt's "The Order of the World after the Second World War":

Thus from the dualist stage there now follows a pluralist stage. It would be equivocating to consider it simply as an augmentation of dualism, and to ignore the profound transformation of the structure of space, which affects even the same idea of space. The surface of the earth offers us today the image of a multitude of more than a hundred States that pretend to be sovereign. All live in the shadow of the atomic equilibrium of the two world powers. There are approximately a dozen that withdraw themselves to the alternative between the two world blocs. None of these states can avoid the tendency to the great space (Grossraum), unless it prefers to fall into political insignificance. The technological development did not yet lead, nor much less, to the political unity of the earth and of humanity. But it seems that the limits of the multiple particular States and their interior markets were made too small. Between the unity of the world, utopian up to now, and the past epoch of anterior spatial dimensions is inserted, for some time, the stage of the formation of great spaces.

" I wonder, dear Alberto, if this furious antifascism who nmi into the places today would not be at the bottom of a weapon of distraction that the dominant class uses towards students and workers to provoke discord. Encourage the mass to fight a non-existent enemy while modern consumerism crawl, insinuating and ruin an already moribund society. "

- Pier Paolo Pasolini, conversation with Alberto Moravia

.....................................

Today we live so cowed under the bombardment of this intellectual artillery that hardly anyone can attain to the inward detachment that is required for a clear view of the monstrous drama. The will-to-power operating under a pure democratic disguise has finished off its masterpiece so well that the object's sense of freedom is actually flattered by the most thorough-going enslavement that has ever existed.

What is truth? For the multitude, that which it continually reads and hears. A forlorn little drop may settle somewhere and collect grounds on which to determine 'the truth'--but what it obtains is just its truth. The other, the public truth of the moment, which alone matters for effects and successes in the fact-world, is today a product of the Press. What the Press wills, is true. Its commanders evoke, transform, interchange truths. Three weeks of press-work, and the 'truth' is acknowledged by everybody.

- Oswald Spengler

..................................

Sorel takes the term 'creative hatred' from [Jean] Jaures, and shortly after this essay [The Social Value of Art] was written he was to turn it against political socialism in general and against Jaures as its representative. Such hatred, Sorel says elsewhere, should be alien to socialism. It results in the Jacobinization of socialism wherein it can "unleash upheavels, destroy a social organization and throw a country into an era of bloody revolutions....Tyranny quickly suceeds tyranny." According to Sorel, this mentality of hatred arises from personalizing historical explanations. For example, in Sorel's view, in its early days capitalism was regarded by Marxists as well as liberals from the economic point of view of impersonal economic forces working with a blind fatality, not as the exploitative theft of our own goods by those in power. When all considerations are strictly economic, "strictly business," thew are largely free of the outrage that is at the heart of hatred or ressentiment. But when such market forces become analyzed in terms of hidden personal motives or interests, all the instincts of economic struggle to gain our forces over the economic mechanism, all the efforts to become a productive class, become concentrated on the sole persona of the boss, who is now no longer an economic agent but an enemy of humanity. Instead of fighting 'for' the transformation of economic forces, we now become jealous of the boss and, Sorel says, end by fighting 'against' him. At this point jealousy becomes the chief motive of revolution, and it is jealousy that lies at the heart of creative hatred. For Sorel, the "theology" of such hatred in force, because people "soon come to believe that the most extreme violence is allowable against the enemies of humanity."

Since Sorel would soon argue the political socialism fails because the focus of our attention becomes 'destruction' of the enemy, not 'construction' of the future, it is not inappropriate to explain Sorel's view in slightly different language from the kind he would use. By avenging past injustices instead of aiming at the construction of a new order, our attention, our analytical focus, becomes focused on past grievances. They are, to borrow once again from [Alfred] Schutz, "because motives" rather than "in order to motives," and as such they mark the failure of a revolution--entrapped as they are in the past, that is, in the "circle of the given."
