The 'Black Lives Matter' Controversy: A Statement

The recent spate of statue-toppling and civil unrest which has accompanied the Black Lives Matter protests seems to have come to an end - or at least wind down.  Now that the heat of the moment is over, it is appropriate for the Socialist Motherland Party to make a statement regarding this issue.

The excuse for confrontation.

The Black Lives Matter riots started in the USA and then rapidly spread across North America and Europe.  What sparked them was the death in custody of a Black man by the name of George Floyd.  There has been much talk about the character of Floyd.  According to some researchers, he was a serial criminal and a drug addict, whose life of crime included the burglary of a house during which Floyd held a gun to the belly of a pregnant woman, putting her life and the life of her unborn child in serious danger.  But the character of a suspect doesn't make his death in custody alright, even if it does make his elevation to the status of martyr appear somewhat excessive.  The key factor which was jumped upon as an excuse to engage in divisive and destructive protests, was his skin colour.  The American police are infamous for killing people.  Rather than this being a race issue, it is an issue of policing in a far away country, and one which the people of the USA need to address, not people across the 'west'.

Not relevant outside the USA.

The British Isles are not a part of the USA!  This really shouldn't need to be said, but unfortunately it does.  The mass media and entertainment industry refer to the President of the USA not as such, but simply as 'the President'.  In the UK we dial 999 for emergency services, yet due to media-addling and education-poisoning, it is possible to dial 911 for the same services.  There are people in the UK who have demonstrated against Donald Trump, President of a foreign country, carrying banners proclaiming 'not my president'!  The Black Lives Matter protests are not relevant to the UK and Ireland.  Whilst the USA has a history of segregation and racism, the British Isles have not.  Our lands are famous for being welcoming and tolerant.  The BLM protests here have created division where it didn't previously exist.

Attacking statues is pointless and pathetic.

The only people who benefit from the divisive id politics which is being pushed by the national capitalist race supremacists, banker-capitalist zionists and the global capitalist neo-liberals, are those who serve the present economic system, and who have a vested interest in keeping people distractd from the reality that the only issue which matters is class.  

The Ruling Class across Africa (Arab and Black Africa) owned Slaves long before European imperialists ventured into that sick trade.  The European Ruling Class owned Slaves in Europe, before finding it more lucrative to buy people abroad to use as cheap labour.  Those who identify along racial lines and ignore the despicable deeds of the Ruling Class against the Working Class, who hero-worship the monarchies of their respective ancestral nations, allow the contemporary tyrants to continue unopposed.

Passive Resistance Has Failed. Active Rebellion Is Vital

2020 has seen the UK regime and its devolved counterparts move further and further into tyranny.  Using the excuse of the corona virus, the servants of globalism have enacted legislation which has destroyed the livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of British people.

Furthermore, they have placed the entire country under house arrest, with people being told who we are allowed to associate with, when we are allowed to leave the house, what we are allowed to buy, how we must dress and behave.  

The regime website lays out reams of restrictions upon personal life (for England, although similar restrictions apply cross the UK), including nonsensical drivel such as the prohibition of buying non-essential items such as clothes from high street shops, the criminalisation of sitting in your own garden with friends or relatives you don't live with, the banning of meeting socially where people may dare to openly discuss the tyranny being enacted by the globalists and their puppet states (such as going to the pub, a cafe, restaurant, local sporting event, marriage and so-called 'civil partnership', extra-curricular educational activity, visiting the gym, getting your hair cut etc etc.)

Protesting against this insanity in groups in excess of two(!) people is also illegal - the traitors imposing this tyranny will not allow us to discuss it. Not that we have any respect for their laws and their uniformed thugs who enforce it.  Former soldiers attending the Remembrance Sunday commemoration of soldiers killed in regime-orchestrated wars were attacked by the regime police at the weekend.  The police have chosen their side in the battle between the people and the global corporations, and we should be grateful that there is no longer any need, reason or excuse to apologise for the blue-suited or plain-clothes servants of the City of London, the Stock Market, and Global Capitalist Imperialism.

The wearing of face nappies is mandatory in the shops which have been allowed to remain open (of course many have closed permanently) and in public transport including taxis. This is in spite of a wealth of research by medical professionals which proves that not only is there no medical benefit in wearing face nappies, but rather there are serious health risks in doing so, specifically the re-inhalation of  waste air, the increase in face-touching with the potential for adding harmful bacteria to the face via ill-fitting naps, the need for reduced social-distancing to compensate for inability to communicate beyond the face barrier, and last but not least the environmental impact of millions of disposable nappies being discarded in public.  In a nutshell, they don't work, but you will be fined for not wearing one unless you have a medical condition such as anxiety, asthma etc which - importantly - you do not have to disclose, and the state, police and shops have no right to ask you about.

All this despotic control has been unleashed under the cover of a virus which has a survival rate in excess of 99%.  

The corona hysteria whipped up by the compliant media is smoke and mirrors distraction propaganda to allow the globalists to force through their anti-sovereignty (national and individual) revolution unhindered.  

The thousands of people who have seen through the lies of the government and big business (which in truth are rapidly becoming indistinguishable) and their controlled media, is proof that just as the British people resisted the globalist liars who tried every underhand tactic to try to force us to vote to remain in the EU, so there are many, many of us who have not been fooled by their plandemic and all the erosions of freedom which have been rushed through by the fear-mongers.  Unfortunately, just as with the Remoaners who are still campaigning for the Global Empire's local proxy, the EU, there are also vast numbers of media-swallowers who hang on every word of Boris Johnson, Mark Drakeford, Nicola Sturgeon, Arlene Foster and their counterpart Micheál Martin.

The protests across the Isles are laudible, but the reliance on passive resistance and submission to the police, make them ineffectual.  We are at a juncture in history where the cowardly revolution of the ruling class has to be fought back by a heroic revolution of the working class.  This means we must make the job of the police in arresting protesters impossible.

Contrary to the spirit of the Robert Peel's Nine Principles, the police are no longer policing by consent, and they are becoming increasingly militarised.  As peaceful protesters continue to be assaulted by violent criminals hiding behind the words 'police', 'heddlu', 'garda', it is obvious that we need to reconsider our attitudes to the police.  The police need to be transitioned from an organisation which enforces the will of the globalist ruling class into an orgnisation which protects the people.  This requires the full implemenation of a Workers' Revolution and the total dstruction of the globalist liberal mindset.  This is a long term objective.  Right now, we must consider the police - in protest sitations - as the enemy, and adapt our tactics to that end.

We can make significant progress by simple things such as the use of clothing which negates the use of (generally) non-lethal weapons of police brutality, specifically:

• Goggles and masks to protect us from CS gas and pepper spray
• Body armour such as sports padding (shoulder pads, knee pads, groin boxes etc) and crash helmets to protect us from police baton attacks
• Carbon-taped taser-resistant clothing which makes tasers useless
  
• Extra-widened wrist bands to prevent police attaching police cuffs

But...most importantly we also need to be ready to take physical action to stop the police grabbing people. The Socialist Motherland Party does not advocate attacking the police, rather we call for defensive measures which make it impossible for them to kidnap protesters, using reasonable force as may be required.

At present, protesters are being beaten, arrested, fined, imprisoned.  Government restrictions which we were told were temporary are becoming permanent.  Total control via the end of paper currency and the total globalisation of commerce is becoming a reality.  

Oligachs such as Jeff Bezos are making billions of pounds extra profit by monopolising online shopping at a time when real world shops are being closed down at an accelerating rate. Some more conspiratorially-minded people would say that Bezos and his partners-in-crime are part of the clique who engineered the plandemic, but whether there is any truth in that, or the more plausible concept that the oligarchs have used the opportunity given them to consolidate wealth, is irrelevant. The global monopolisation of commerce via the cashless economy has the potential to make national sovereignty a de facto thing of the past, with nations having as much significance as counties, existing only as ceremonial historical curiosities.

A Socialist future requires the continuation of nations, with borders to trade as well as travel.  Passive resistance in the face of global brutality has as much chance of long term success as the Polish Cavalry at Krojanty had fighting off the tanks of the Wehrmacht in 1939.   Passive Resistance has spontaneously broken out across the country, but it is not enough. We have to fight back
