Poverty and Fascism on the rise in Europe Garland Nixon and Joti Brar Ep35
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6wK5vbjGnk&ab_channel=ProletarianTV Today I (Joti Brar) spoke with Garland Nixon about imperialism's systematic use of divide and rule tactics to maintain its grip on power and its ability to loot the world. We discussed how the root of the Kashmir crisis, as with so many other problems on the Indian subcontinent, lies in the British stirring up of communal tensions and the bloody partition of that land, which aimed to keep all India's people permanently poor and exploitable. And how the solution lies in breaking these patterns and building rapprochement and cooperation between India-Pakistan and India-China. We also discussed the two uses of fascist forces which imperialism turns to as its system loses legitimacy in the eyes of the masses. First as an ideologically-motivated spearhead for enforcing its flagging domination abroad. This has been a continuous policy of the imperialists and is particularly evident today – as is evidenced by the fascist proxy mercenary forces of Banderite Ukraine, of zionist Israel, and of wahhabist Syria, Sahel and Xinjiang, as well as in the rabid anticommunist proxies of south Korea, Taiwan and Venezuela. All of them bankrolled and directed by Anglo-American imperialism. Meanwhile on the home front, outright fascism will be the last resort of finance capital in the face of a rising working-class movement for socialism. In the meantime, we have a controlled 'far right' opposition that acts to coral one section of workers back into the camp of social democracy ('Vote Labour to keep the fascists out!') while another section is conned into believing that figures such as Britain's Nigel Farage, France's Marine Le Pen, Italy's Georgia Meloni and Germany's AfD represent some kind of real rebellion against the system. In fact, these bogeymen are as much servitors of finance capital as are the Labour party social democrats. They would not otherwise be given so much publicity! Their fundamental purpose is to promote a hysterical narrative around immigration that aims to keep the working class divided and weak – and looking to its class enemies for salvation. ______________________________________________ Subscribe!
