3 THE REVOLUTIONARY
ECONOMIC FRAMEWORK
Capitalist Long-Wave Cycles
The question hence arises what historically causes
capitalist long-wave crisis? And is a new cyclical long-wave boom
likely?
Capital
is invested in:
New productive capital (plant/machinery etc).
Workers' wages (b1), and social wages(b2), eg. real
demand.
Dividends (c1) and speculation (c2).
Welfare (d1), this is derived from taxes on
(b1) and an expansion of the national debt, the costs borne predominately by
workers, therefore it cannot properly be considered an additional
part of real demand. And corporate
welfare (d2), this includes arms contracts, pension scams, profit guarantees
etc.
Capital
is motivated by the pursuit of surplus profits (above the average rate of
profit), causing capital to flow into those sectors where profits are highest.
Over
the expansionary long-wave, the organic composition of capital (a), its'
productivity, rises faster than workers' wages and social wages (b1,b2), real
demand; which rise but not sufficiently to absorb all the products of (a)
over the long-run. This is called over-accumulation (of capital).
This
over-accumulation of capital in a given sector, or the economy in general,
causes market saturation or over-production; as there isn't' sufficient real
demand to absorb all the products. This happens because the pressure of capital
for growth in its' assets or a return on its' investment (c1), causes
over-accumulation - productivity to grow out of kilter with real demand.
This causes the rate of profit to fall in real industry (over the
long-run) below the culturally expected level (ranging from country to country
dependant on the relationship of class/imperial forces).
When
this fall in the rate of profit takes place in a certain sector or sectors,
this causes periodic downturns (in a period of general upswing), until
(with weaker concerns bankrupted etc) the rate of profit recovers to the
average rate of profit.
When
this process of over-accumulation and market saturation becomes generalised
throughout the productive economy, capital finds itself caught between two
fires:
Falling real demand (of workers and social
wages absorbing production).
Demands for higher wages (threatening the rate
of profit and over-accumulated capitals' share).
Unless
(impossibly unlikely) capitalism were to voluntarily accept an evolving
loss of hegemony (over control of production) and concedes either an evolving
and continuous rise in wages or (preferably) in social wages, to bring the
production/real demand relationship into kilter (for sustainable, stable and
continuous growth), the situation cannot be (peacefully) resolved.
This
crisis leads to a build up of inflationary pressures - the struggle for surplus
value - as capital seeks to pass the costs (of its profits) on either in higher
prices to consumers or trades-union aided `social contracts', holding wages
down threatening investment strikes & lockouts. And increasingly there is a
regressive long-term switch of capital into speculation (c2), including the expansion
of credit (against inflated property prices); and a growing dependency on
military contracts (squeezing real demand still further) and corporate welfare
(d2) - combined with a squeeze on (b1, b2 and d1).
However
as the only source of real wealth is real industry, these financial/speculative
`investments', serve only to further milk the productive base of industry (and
real demand able to absorb production), with demands for ever higher dividends
- effectively treating capital as (unsustainable) income. Capitalism therefore
has an increasing tendancy to disappear up its' own speculative arsehole (see
rise and fall in land/house prices etc).
It
is a myth/lie that interests rates are used to `combat inflation'. The only way
they `work' is by discouraging productive economic activity. This hammers real
demand giving the purely cosmetic statistical appearance of lower
inflation (reduced economic activity).
In
fact the raising of interest rates only serves to increase (proportionately
& aggregately) the demands of parasitic finance (for ultimately higher
dividends) on the productive base of the economy, weakening real demand (eg.
increasing exorbitant mortgage/rent rates and chronic indebtedness - REVEALED
NOT CAUSED - when the speculative/property
bubble bursts) institutionalising inflation (in hidden form, see
indebtedness) and increasing susceptibility to inflationary pressures over the
long-term (& ultimately a global credit crunch leading to global
stagflation/ hyperinflation).
Low
nominal inflation conceals the impact of indebtedness and therefore
merely illustrates the triumphal victory of capital over labor's capacity
(through traditional means) to resist this continuous and permanent
assault.
The
sole function and purpose of raising (real) interest rates is to restore
the position of (especially unproductive finance) capital over labor in a
period of crisis/permanent crisis, and nothing more. To re-iterate industry
cannot/dare not resist, because this would mean mobilising the masses,
who would then in turn force their own more radical agenda afterwards.
The
problem can be summarised simply as:
Capitalism is out of kilter viz real demand and
accumulation
There is no (automatic) pol/econ mechanism to
correct this. Eg. via increased wages and/or social wages - WPCs preventing
capital being/becoming (again) a law unto itself - freeing a democratic
parliament/local govt to play this (redistributive) role.
Ironically
it is now up to us to place reconstruction as our first priority to repair the
damage done by decades of speculative vandalism to our industrial capital base.
This means wages will very probably have to be cut & taxes raised to
finance reconstruction. But to re-emphasise - as long as these criminals
control the pol/econ, there is absolutely no question whatsoever
of our backing down from demanding even much higher wages, as all sacrifices
under this regime are sacrifices for global finance and only serve to fuel its'
insatiable greed. But to repeat, this is only a defensive measure to hold the
line against further attacks, not a utopian end in itself; our
priority is reconstruction.
Such
long-term crisis when resolved/resolvable, were done so through a long-term rise
in wages (neccessary to provide the basis for a long-term upswing) after
a re-ordering of the productive forces (the national & global division of
labor - in turn) prepared & aided by a long-term fall (in the
previous period of long-term downswing) in wages (by the reccessionary
long-wave) and a decline in productive investment - raising the (potential)
rate of profit after (the implementation of) revolutionary reform - As a starting
point, from which the long-wave boom then generates its' own momentum, with
reforms & rises in wages - until it eventually collapses due to over-accumulation.
The
key examples are:
Post-Chartism & Revolutions of 1848 - After the break-up of the hegemony of landed capital (by the
abolition of the corn-laws and the last remnants of fuedalism in Europe)
foreign trade was expanded and the (real) domestic purchasing power was driven
up by
a) A reduction in the price of bread, meaning
people had more real demand/purchasing power to purchase industrial
products.
b) A raising in the price of labor (caused by
extra industrial activity by foreign trade and a)-), as demand for labor grew;
so did its' ability to bargain/push for higher wages in turn creating more
(real) demand.
Until
over-accumulation/market saturation brought the long-wave expansion to an end
in the early-mid 1870's - beginning a long-wave downturn.
Gladstone/ Asquith (continental Europe had similar variants) - With a new rise in
radical politics & militant trades-unionism, threatening to assume
revolutionary-political charachteristics (brought about by the early -mid
1870's - late1880's reccessionary wave).
a) Gladstone simply allowing laborism to force
higher pay (and later Asquiths' more pro-active) reforms expanded the
purchasing power of labor (whilst cutting the ground from the more extreme
elements).
b) An expansion into new colonies creating new
markets - in turn raising demand for labor/wages and real demand.
Until
over-accumulation & market saturation led to the crunch battle for markets
of WW1, and the collapse of national capitalisms in Europe.
The Global Political-Economy - The fall in real wages brought about by the victory of
fascism across continental Europe (smashing the labor movement) - and the
(liberal imperialist) development of the global pol/econ by the process
of WW2 (enabling USA led global rev-reform in response to the post - WW2
radical uprisings/expansion of the
core-radical empire - which processes of we shall examine in C7);
provided the starting point for the boom & expansion of free-trade
& world market (representing an advance on the old national capitalist systems
of imperial preference & tariffs that preceded them), Which then as before,
could generate their own development/momentum.
WW2
(as we shall see later in C7) can be seen not as an explosion but as a
transitional process from one stage of development to another.
Conversely,
the rise of global finance can be seen as not merely another stage of
development but as a quantum pol/econ dynamic, that will either lead to its'
(structural and molecular) revolutionary metamorphosis, or its savage
implosion. As no single state is capable of taking the lead in the
global reform of the system as FDR/USA was able to before.
But
there is another factor at work in the most dynamic/high tech
corporations, that is perhaps of even greater importance in preventing any
reform of the capitalist system.
Ultimately
the further development of the productive process/potential is
ever-increasingly dependant on information, and has an increasing tendancy to
require the socialisation of information (within a given corporate entity)
requiring much flatter corporate organisations.
The
new knowledge workers are incapable of leading the revolution or
(peaceful) transition to communism; but they (their very existence &
neccessity in the modern productive process) prevent the generalised
reform of capitalist pol/econ - by impelling the need for flat
corporate organisations. Eliminating the social sub-stratification (within
corporations in terms of control over knowledge) neccessary for maintaining
social control & class stability - which can now only exist in ever greater
armies of marginalised, underemployed, unemployed workers and middle managers.
The
information revolution is here but cannot (break out of the
constraints of `corporate communism' - the universal liberation of capital from
the need for workers) be realised without the revolutionary - political seizure
of control of/over capital - redressing the economic/historical problem of lack
of investment in PEOPLE.
Capitalism therefore, has effectively abolished the conventional classical
working class (as a pol/econ force). But rather than `all being middle class
now' as some boot-lick souls of the regime would have us believe, all
are faced with the prospect of lumpenisation - leaving behind only a potential
amalgam of (steadily impoverished) revolutionary democratic forces, with the
potential to coalesce around a program of socialist hegemony - forcing
investment in people.
Socialist Hegemony
Our
aim is maximum working-class control of the basic econ. agenda (and constitutional
framework with the minimum of neccessary day to day political
interferance - avoiding (especially unaccountable)bureaucracy (as demonstrated
in th diagram below).
(A) WPCs
1) Controls econ agenda/ priorities
(gaurentees against finance becoming a law unto
itself again
- with wasteful speculation/ dividends).
Facilitates common ownership of information.
2)Determines also the pay scales of finance/ exec/
employees (B).
(B) FINANCE
1) Provides loans/ finance to industry (C).
2) Recieves share capital/ profits from (C).
3) Recieves pension contributions & shares
(cannot be sold - held by finance controlled by
WPCs (A) elected by labor as a whole (D).
(C) INDUSTRY
1) Recieves work including sacrifices for
reconstruction (D).
2) Provides wages/ shares & pension
contributions ultimately leads to control of any new/ large concerns - via
factory committees themselves under the hegemony of socialist finance.
(D) LABOR
1) See vis industry
& 3) finance.
2) Elects WPCs (A)
Note
in Stalinist systems, the (unaccountable) political bureaucracy (the origins of
which we will examine in chapter 6) is inclined to interfere at every level
(from above) preventing managerial and labor (control from below)
autonomy.
Our
single greatest indeed only historic priority is to prevent finance
capital (with its' priorities of share dividends/speculation) becoming a law
unto itself ever again, by placing the organs of finance under the elected
control of organised labor- through the WPCs. Compelling finance to serve
industry which in turn (ceases to serve a speculative class) serves the
goal of Commonwealth and global enrichment (note the WARTIME sacrifices
neccessary for global reconstruction) - bonuses/higher pay for workers,
but most importantly (taxes funding especially productive) social wages for the
common mass of society; But above all the end of the scandalous system in which
the enemy turns the workers' own pension funds/money against the workers
(simply so that this speculative class can skim of the top).
The
market (in case it needs to be said) is the mechanism for distribution
(not Stalinist rationing) whilst production is socialised (via hegemony
of socialist finance). Bourgeois market distribution must remain the norm until
the aggregation of wealth created is so immense that social wages can sustainably
become so great that the private wage ceases to be relevant.
Through
socialist hegemony it is not only possible but essential to assist the
development of new capitalist enterprises (exploiting the ingenuity of
petit-bourgeois inventors, managers and skilled workers), which in turn through
pension contributions grow/evolve as co-op concerns within the framework of
socialist finance (hegemony)- preventing finance capital ever again
becoming a law unto itself - acting as a permanent bulwark against wasteful
speculation/dividends (you cannot/should not prevent individual
initiative, but you can/should insure for
certain that humanity derives the maximum benefit from it without any
threat of a new military plutocracy arising).
(Even though
socialist finance is the Leviathan in the pool & the dice are every way loaded in favor of its
hegemony) this brings us to the prickly question of `are
these new capitalist concerns to be allowed to pay low/austerity wages to their
workers in order to build them up? And who is to (what mechanisms) dictate when
and under what conditions this is acceptable?
Minimum
wage laws come under 2 headings:
The absolute minimum - Transgression of which
is a capital offence- however low this may be (to be worked out later
when all econ. info. is available- including on the external economic sabotage
we will no doubt face).
A secondary minimum in which a list of
conditional criteria come into being on a sliding scale.
List of Criteria
Increased contributions/share capital to the
WPCs.
Emphasis to be on the technical reskilling of
the workforce to trades-union recognised standards.
Emphasis on capital investment (also linked to
1).
Management to share as appropriate inthe sacrifices
(including for global reconstruction etc). In any case managers are to be paid
according to real market forces (according to real worth) not
what they can get away with - as is the case now.
A punitive tax to be levied on dividends on
private share capital in such enterprises - until workers' wages are raised to
at least the secondary minimum.
There
is otherwise, an optimum rate of (taxable) return dependant on interest
rates - in turn set at an optimum point to attract savings for PRODUCTIVE investment
- under WPC control.
Failure/refusal
to meet the above criteria simply means the banks will wash their hands of them
(in accordance with the WPC agenda/policy).
They
will not want to have anything to do with businesses that are not
interested in reskilling/re-equipping as they are not viable long-term
propositions.
And as the WPC-controlled finance
sector takes share capital instead of exorbitant interest rates, in
firms it grants loans to (wether within Europe or the poorer parts of the
global confederation), it is interested in their long-term viability and
development; unlike today's finance mafia - which is concerned only with
short-term returns perfectly regardless of the long-term costs to investment
& reconstruction.
But
it must be re-emphasised that until the socialist hegemonic state (revolution)
wins power, all sacrifices are sacrifices for the finance mafia and as such
must be resisted totally.
The Socialist Welfare State
The
key tasks of a socialist welfare state are:
To raise funds for socialist accummalation - (for global reconstruction).
Income re-distribution - especially through an increasing hegemony of social wages over
private wages and a basic wage - which with social wages acts to close the gap
between richer & poorer over time.
Sharing the shite around more equitably - All sharing in work and sacrifices for future prosperity.
With
compulsory work and WPC controlled pay scales determining both a maximum and a
minimum wage (expressed as a figure in direct proportionate relation to the
minimum wage). Everyone is thence covered and shares in the benefits.
Otherwise
(as we shall examine/see later vis decomposition of the existing welfare state)
continuing division between the overworked and unworked will lead to slavery for
all (nuclear war/decomposition nothwithstanding). But as all will be covered,
all will have a vested interest in the progressive/continuous shortening of
hours etc.
The
key to everything is the Common Ownership of Information. The bonfire of all
copyright laws.
Instead
of via private corps, capital flows into RnD through a process of layered
development:
Educational
establishments (including inventors, theoreticians etc),
produce new
ideas/prototypes etc
Firms engaged in end
user production (whose profits be taxed)
draw from the RnD of
1)
(WPC/Parliament)
insures the recycling of profits to the beginning
This
means no more unwieldy lviathan corps (acting as investment banks to fund RnD),
indeed this means their break up into optimal units of production. The death of
corp/finance barony. For it be from info control/barony (inc corp secrecy) that
their power and hence their exhorbitant renumeration be so derived.
The
control of info be the key to ALL, and the subordination of finance to the
common ownership of information shall be the lynchpin of rev dem power (as we
shall see in Vol II, the info society emerged in embryo under the hegemony of
finance - will only be truly properly borne when finance be subordinated to the
common ownership of information).
Furthermore
the private ownership & control of info (including via copyright)
neccessitates a heirarchical society/military plutocratic nat sec state to
protect it.
Socialist
hegemony requires increasing importance/weight of the social wage over the
private wage. With a correesponding shortening of hours (reduction to an
absolute minimum of neccessary compulsory work - social wages as hegemonic)
increasingly (as conceptual labor/thinkers) we all (ever increasingly) must
make our own work - with a merging of work, education & leisure. Made
possible by the sharinig of social wages & benefits of info technology.
Social
pol/econ progress therefore depends on the accummalation of finance for its own
sake being displaced by the accummalation of knowledge for its own sake
(as the only effective/legitimate basis
for econ/social development).
This
is the only way to make the maximum of human productive potential - ALL being
increasingly freed up to become
conceptual/knowledge workers.
It
be also neccessary for everyone to have free time for knowledge accummalation
(the only thing/factor that should be
acquired for its own sake) to prevent/halt the development of the
`Frankenstein Society'.
That
is development must be monitored & managed by a pro-active civil society -
as opposed to, as at present, unaccountable finance determining development -
on the basis of the short termist interests of individual corps, without regard
to the wider social, economic & environmental consequances.
The Military Plutocratic System
The
military plutocratic system, the nation state construct, is no longer able to
reconfigure itself via rev reform (in response to radical shocks - as seen in
Vol I and we shall examine in greater detail later) has tended towarsd
specaulation & re-armamanet in an effort to maintain operational control of
the pol/econ agenda. This has led to global collapse and the spectre of
classical fascism/nuclear warlodism - as elites resort to the last possible
pol/econ options open to them in order to cling onto power.
Yet
it is precisely the bony hand of
oblivion (casting its shadow over 1st & 3rd world alike) that be the
potential catalyst/spur for the rev pol/econ solution. Eg there can be no
survival without geo pol/econ strategic stability, & there can be no
stability without WARTIME sacrifices to further fund) reconstruction for all
GLOBALLY VIA A GLOBAL COMMONWEALTH CONFEDERATION).
We
must be prepared to make sacrifices not only for our own reconstruction - but
for the reconstruction of the whole world. Or else the nightmare in the East
(and our own/W. European/USA etc nuclear fascism) shall overwhelm/destroy us
ALL.
The
key solution lies in eradicating military plutocracy through:
Common ownership of information - as private
ownership/control of info (inc copyright) neccessitates a heirarchical
society/military plutocratic nat sec state to defend it.
A Commonwealth of the Regions - That the
central power be delimited to perform ONLY those functions allowed it by the
regions/constituent republics.
That
its' role be primarily a redistributive role - especially to aid development -
to insure stability between the constituent parts of the federation -
Preventing richer components choking on their own barbed wire, through
militarised expenditure, in an effort to keep down the poorer.
That
this principle be extended outward to include all free nations in a (the
disolution of the nation state must re-inforce the disolution of its military-
plutocratic national security state function) Global Commonwealth
Confederation and an eventual global union.
Failure of the Keynsian Welfare State
The
function of the Keynsian welfare state (in the core imperial states) was
essentially to help stabilise capitalism as part of a package of rev reforms
instituted in the post war period - to provide a basis for the reconfiguration
of the (USA - led) core imperial global capitalist pol/econ.
It
accomplished this by re-distributing wealth from wealthier workers to poorer
workers/unemployed - which in the (post WWII) period of long wave upswing
(1941-68/74) helped to smooth out wild fluctuations in demand (`demand
management') - making, over this long wave period; the relationship between
demand, investment/production, demand cycles more stable than they otherwise would
have been.
However,
while it was able to smooth out demand patterns from the workers, it did not
overcome the fundamental problem of capitalist hegemony, which be its
independance from civil society. Which over the expansionary long wave causes
its productivity to rise faster than workers wages and social wages (real
demand). This as we have seen, happens because the pressure of capital for
growth in its assets or a return on its investments causes over accummalation -
productivity to grow out of kilter with real demand.
Which
as capital reigns as a law unto itself, there be no mechanism to bring this
production/real demand relationship back into kilter (for sustainable, stable
& continuous growth) leads to a switch into speculative investments &
the eventual total implosion of the whole system (once, as now, it has run out
of geo pol/econ room to reconfigure itself - under leadership of a sufficiently
powerful nation state, such as England/repeal of the Corn Laws or USA/FDR).
Indeed
the military plutocrats' violent opposition to enforcing income re-distribution
(via WPCs control of finance freeing parliament to perform this function)
further catalyses this problem, of the speculative over the productive - which
further leads to a scorched earth economic policy (of the speculative against
the productive).
So
that a problem emerging as a crisis of over accummalation/production, leads to
the starvation of industry of funds for productive investment.
We
have seen that the breaking of capitalisms' hegemony over civil society is
imperative to compel finance to serve civil society - to enable the raising of
funds (via expropriation of ruling criminal elite - and only after/thence,
further taxation of the populace) for socialist accummalation & income re-distribution
(as well as sharing work more equitably) - to enable an evolving reduction of
the working week to free people up for
education/to become knowledge workers.
But
with an ever increasingly greater emphasis on regressive taxation (hitting the
poor harder) and taking the pressure of the wealthier corps, we see a number of
phenonema leading to the failure & ultimately complete collapse of the
remnants of the old Keynsian welfare state.
The
Keynsian welfare state is not a dynamic motor for social accummalation and
re-distribution covering everyone (we have seen that re-distribution is
imperative as a bulwark against speculation to maintain an equilibrium between
socialist accummalation & real demand).
Rather
it is more closely akin to previous systems of poor relief. And as capitlaism
implodes and the numbers using it rise, the
costs on workers in work become greater - creating resentment and
further exacerbation of the fundamental problem of Keynsian welfare, that it is
NOT a general means of soc accummalation - with means testing.
And
without WPC buttressed income re-distribution & with astronomical rates of
benefit claw back (which be the inevitable consequance of means testing - in
turn the consequance of Keynsian welfare not being about re-distribution/socialist
accumalation) work frequantly doesn't pay - leading to the poverty trap and in
turn the state compulsion/creation of a class of entrenched low paid workers
dependant on welfare top ups - effectively the financing of a section of
lumpen capitalism by workers/welfare state.
But
most criminal/damaging of all, be the way that workers' own pension
contributions/investments be turned against them by the core elite on a generalised/hegemonic
basis.
The
reason why state pension funds (+ N. I. contributions) were never invested
properly (under democratic collective control - in industry) was because this
would have meant collective private property would have eclipsed ruling elite
private property.
It
was neccessary therefore, in order to preserve the sanctity of private property
to facilitate the robbing of the collective property of the masses - in order
to preserve the social institution of private property per se.
Of
course, the collective capital/property of the masses, in the hands of fund managers,
is effectively turned against the masses - in the relentless drive for
`efficiency' at the expense of (other) workers in a given firm/industry -
regardless of wider econ repercussions.
Hence
workers capital is used to drive them onto the scrapheap/ cut their wages/
force them to work ridiculously longer hours (when technology can/should be
shortening them)/ drive up land values (giving them mortgage/rent headaches)
fueling credit booms, as the prelude to a credit crunch/collapse - for which
destructive criminality they pick up the tabs, in their other guise as the
taxpayer.
(such
a policy as is well known, makes sense for the individual corp - but is madness
in general terms/consequances)
So
that a bunch of fund managers/speculators and the like, can pressurise the
state/govt they have bought, to pressurise these same workers to resign
themselves to still shittier pay and conditions - as these sharks skim of the
top - all, to be sure, in the name of efficiency and progress.
Such
is the enourmity of the damage they do, out of all proportion, (much greater)
even to their inflated bonuses, it would be cheaper to dig a great big pit and
bury them alive with £10 notes.
Nevertheless
let us not forget that even after the firing squad has done its job, we are
still left with the task of reconstruction - for which sacrifices under the
militarised control of the working classes will be neccessary, in order to
finance it.
As
we have seen the only way to resolve the contradiction of Keynsian system is to
bring finance under WPC control and make a (the socialist) welfare state
genuinely universal - covering everyone to provide funds for soc accummalation
and also with a key priority of income re-distribution (including maximum as
well as minimum wages - balancing accummalation/production with real demand for
truly sustainable growth)
including
via social wages including social housing as a critical bulwark against land
speculation - which is a primary factor in global finance capitals' implosion.
But
the core elite have an alternative to Keynsain welfare and the socialist
welfare state.
having
deployed the welfare state (a la Reagan/Thatcher) in conjunction with military,
credit booms and oil booms disrespectively to smooth the break up of organised
labor (used unemployment to break the unions - Alan Clark) and transition to
fully fledged speculator regimes - a process partially completed
worldwide/catalysed by USA/Britains' decomposition; the next major stage of
degenerative development (nuclear warlordism notwithstanding) will be (private
corp run) `Social Inclusion Training Centres'. Or if you prefer unvarnished
English, Slavery.
Already
private corp jail labor is shaping up as a significant factor and it will
assume much greater proportions as the (collapse of welfare feeds into an
exponential) rise in crime/prison population leads to (demands to cut costs
& therefore) jails becoming self financing (eg California currently
spends more on prisons than on education) - and ultimately (as process takes hold)
profitable institutions in their own right - This would in turn blur the
distinction between `free' and slave to the point that they become meaningless.
Though a general collapse into warlordism is likely long before then.
The Global Civil War &
The Socialist Nation State Stockade
Q: `How do
we know we will NOT end up with a Giant (British) Serbia, starring the author
in the role of Slobodan Milosevic (clinging to power by pointing to a very real
enemy encircling the beleagured state)?'
Because the
British rev movement is defined entirely by its relationship to Europe
& (more intermittantly) the USA.
It can
only come into being (as a stockade
state) by the Battle of Berlin - as such, if any aspirant Stalinists
even tried to sit on their haunches behind barbed wire, they would be swept
away by the frenzied revanchist forces which otherwise would subordinate
Britain as an adjunct of a German EU in mortal conflict with the USA anyway
(vis trade war/ global pol/econ implosion) or vis a versa (to say nothing of
the revanchist military plutocrats exploiting chaos in Ulster to crush the
pretensions of any purely British revolution - it is `Europe or Death').
Therefore,
victory or death is decided in Germany. The fullest cooperation of the Germanic
citizenry in the construction of FSC Europe, is the only way to avoid the
oblivion we are in any case all headed towards anyway (via trade war/ global
implosion/ the indirect oil war in the Balkans war gathering its own momentum/
Russia's warlordist break up).
Therefore
the real power is in the hands of the I-Bs. For any aspiring Milosevic to try
to hold them back, would be to sign their own death warrant, by a new
revolution & an unforgiving USA/ German & same backed Quisling elite
(incidently my place will always be at the front - I couldn't opt out of this
without committing political suicide - being gunned down by I-Bs outraged at
such treason from me, as well as fascists).
The
common ownership of information will be treated as war by the regime.
The
Q we will put before the whole world is `Are you willing to support
permanent/suicidal war for the military plutocrats, for their
monopoly of information, to keep you in penury?
In
so doing the enemy will be forced to engage us on our political
territory.
To
re-iterate, the new theory works like a hydrogen bomb.
Throughout
the rev pol campaign, the I-Bs be the equivalent of the high explosive, whose
blood sacrifice/compression on the rev pol idea, The common ownership of info
(on the consciousness of humanity) creates a critical situation.
Their
nominal defeat paves the way for the political discrediting /delegitimising of
the regime (shadow insurrection) and therefore its militaty overthrow. This be
the DNA of the new rev pol dialectic.
But
it also be parrallel vis the core powers against (any) rev stockade states.
After
I-B engagement(against classical fascism at the core), should the military
plutocrats even defeat rev stockade states (in punitive response)through their
very victory over us, the last of their legitimacy, their strength is consumed
- as they reveal themselves truly the sole enemy of their own people paving the
way for their overthrow & global victory. - So in war, the Commonwealth be
borne.
The
starkest reality be, that not only rev cadres, but indeed the nation must stake
itself - For if it does not, the chaos of military plutocracy's implosion of
nuclear, biological & chemical warlordism, shall annihilate it for certain.
It must embrace this most terrible peril, to have any hope of survival at all.
This
be a new type of war & should be seen for what it is, a state of global
civil war, in which the survival until the vanquishing of all fascist forces is
the primary objective to which the socialist nation state be subordinate.
It
be most likely, that the most desperate econ war measures be required simply in
order for the state to hold out until victory at the core.
But
that said, there be a number of pol/econ measures integral to the process of
global civil war, which the rev state can/must take to defend/entrench itself
& aid revolt at the core. Indeed so that ultimately, even if the core
regime mounts a successful punitive assault on rev stockade states (eg via
missile attacks etc), in retaliation for I-B assaults on classical fascists in
core states, the regime succeeds only in convincing the masses at the core that
military plutocracy be the masses worst enemy - paving the way for its
overthrow.
While
for military econ reasons survival as an isolated socialist stockade will not
be possible for any length of time, we must make the best of what little we
have. Central to this be an honest appraisal of the predicament we (in Britain,
for example) will find ourselves in and what we must begin to do. And even
victory in Europe/worldwide will not be the end of it. the tasks of global
reconstruction will require WARTIME sacrifices to finance
them. Our victory is bound up with an understanding of these tasks, before and
after victory, from the begininng.
RECONSTRUCTION
Our Meagre Inheritance
We
have outlined the WARTIME sacrifices required to stabilise
the global pol/econ, eg on a global commonwealth confederal basis, to prevent
the core states chokingon their own barbed wire.
Now
we analyse some of the priorities/ problems the Revolution will have to
confront in addition to its ultimate core objective.
In
Britain, We will inherit a country with the smallest productive base of any
of the (nominally) first world nations. Which has since the abolition of
exchange controls exported over £10Billion (net) of capital every year
since 1979.
In
which the oil bonanza was used to artificially prop up the currency (for the
short-term benefit of money-jugglers/speculators - as in Mexico &
Venezuala),sucking in imports decimating large swathes of what remained of our
indigenous industry. And as Tory ex-minister Alan Clark confirms,
A deliberate policy of high unemployment to punish the unions (& drive down wages)
In
which the over development of & reliance on the military-industrial complex
was criminally aided by the secret state & financiers (at the expense of
civil industry & development) profiteering from contracts with (arming)
criminal regimes around the world (eg. Iran, Iraq, Nigeria, Indonesia, Saudi
Arabia, China, Burma, Khmer Rouge etc etc - the role of ICI who armed Adolf
Hitler has been kept schtum, only the small fry like Bmarc and Matrix
Churchill have so far been exposed). While industries like mining were
(at a cost well over £10Billion, for strategic class reasons-) butchered (so that
privatised and USA controlled electricity corps could import coal
produced by child & slave labor) and miners bribed/blackmailed with their
own pension money into taking early redundancy .
In
which, thanks to the legacy of the speculative land/house price & credit
expansion, if any govt embarked on a serious program of badly needed
social house construction - the (still) inflated prices of houses would fall
through the floor revealing (not causing) the structural bankruptcy
endemic in our financial institutions.
In
short we will inherit an economic nightmare. A bankrupt state with precious
little civil industrial capacity and a crumbling infrastructure. Surrounded by
hostile regimes.
Virtually
all far-left elements are playing a highly dangerous role in fostering the
illusion that `After the socialist revolution...' wages can be increased
dramatically - regardless of the objective difficulties we (as a temporarily
isolated socialist republic) will face, regardless of the bankrupt economy we
will inherit.
They
are fond of plucking out paper figures to show that such increases are viable
eg. `£50 billion of profit per year made by capitalism'. But how much of this
was healthy industrial profit that could simply be shifted from share dividends
to higher wages?
And
how much was the mere paper profit of that legalised fraud of share speculation
where share capital (increases the more is squandered on dividends meaning less
for real investment/productive potential) actually falls the lower the dividend
is and the more is ploughed back into real investment - compelling industry to
cannibalise existing capital (neccessary to reproduce itself) to stave of
takeovers and satisfy the short-term dividend frenzy of the finance houses?
How
much of this paper profit is ultimately
dependent on inflated land/rent/house values in turn dependant on the
outrageous shortage of habitable housing? For we have a situation in which if
tomorrow a govt. any govt
announced the construction of a massive expansion of social housing, house and
land prices (and with them the paper asset values held by the major
institutions) would drop like a stone, revealing (not causing)
institutional bankruptcy and latent hyper-inflation in the British economy
(currently cosmetically concealed by the housing shortage - which sustains the
artificially high asset values held by the institutions).
But
no revolutionary govt can maintain this socially and economically destructive
shortage merely in order to preserve this paper fiction of economic solvency,
still based on scarcity, upon which (big business and ) the Marxists base their
myopic hopes.
What
also of the hot money which is artificially propping up the currency? When this
is withdrawn at the first sign of rebellion exacerbating rapidly our `hard'
currency deficit (which to be sure is or will be continuously increased a la Latin America, only more slowly by high
interest payments); true the currency is still overvalued but this
withdrawal will trigger hyper-inflation. What of the export of capital in
anticipation of trouble, of the external financial sabotage we will face, the
recalling of secret loans in accordance with secret agreements? Have the
Marxists factored all this in their rosy vision?
(We
have examined the causes of this shortsightedness before and shall do so again
in `The rise of Stalinism')
Our Tasks
This
is not to say that there is any alternative to the financier/speculator regime
other than revolution, there isn't. Tomorrow things will be worse, the day
after worse still. Until we have sunk so deep into the abyss that we will never
be able to influence our own pol/econ fate, as the global pol/econ enters a
tailspin.
But
our emphasis must thrice be on civil reconstruction at all costs under
workers' control. On anticipating beforehand the truly miserable inheritance of
the revolution and through pol/econ education preparing the masses for the
sacrifices neccessary to finance reconstruction. Either they shall endure wage
cuts & tax increases for reconstruction or continue to endure real wage
cuts & tax increases for short-term dividends & speculation. But if we
take power, they will not thank us for having lied to them about what was
really possible. And political demoralisation among the workers and illusions
in the old regime (particularly and violently expressed by the petit-bourgeois) will grow. For if things
were so bad, why didn't we warn them? Why did we lie, `for their own
good'? Or `if things were not so bad it must be `our' fault'.
A
key part of our education campaign must be the forcing of the old-crooks to
explain clearly to the masses what they have done with national/ global
wealth. Opening up the books, putting the crooks on trial, hanging some and
making others go round the workplaces/colleges (under armed guard for their own
protection) in a `MEET THE BOSSES' campaign, so as to dispel any myth/illusion
that these scum have anything left to offer (by way of an alternative) save
more criminality.
But
to re-emphasise, we will only cut wages & raise taxes after squeezing every
last available drop of profit (currently squandered on share dividends) and
re-investing it in industrial & infrastructural and human capital. However
it is in some areas possible to increase living standards, but not by an
increase in the paper private wage (we in any case need a complete
structural re-alignment of our financial system so that the currency serves as
a true measure of value, rather than - as is currently the case - an
object of speculative false values), but rather through a planned increase in
the social wage; which in many respects would have a duel character of
increasing productive potential/human capital and living standards.
Key
social wage targets (IT SHOULD BE STATED THAT WE ARE ONLY ABLE TO
CONSOLIDATE THE FOLLOWING PRIMARY OBJECTIVES WITH THE GLOBAL VICTORY )
include:
Cheap Housing
Massive increase in social housing so that the
only cost borne by tenants through (low) rents, is that neccessary to
recuperate the real cost of construction and not the artificial speculative
values (in land and buildings). Which also manifest themselves (to varying
degrees) at every layer of the productive and retail processes.
Cheap Food
Scrap CAP. Place under WPC control largest
agricultural concerns (and large land-holdings) and encourage voluntary
collectives/co-ops on the rest (encourage 3rd world agriculture exports, to
aid their EFFECTIVE integration into the global commonwealth confederation/ federation). Produce
cheapest possible food for consumption not destruction.
Cheap Public Transport
Massive construction of integrated transport
systems. Heavily subsidised public transport as an alternative to congestion
(over-emphasis on private transport-cars) costing close to £10billion a year in
London alone (CBI figures).
High Tech-Re-education/Reconstruction
(In a high tax/ high public resource system) Gear the European/ global economy to funding continuous
re-education, increasing productive potential and access to info. both
strengthening democracy and raising culture & living standards.
Free Childcare
Utilise on a voluntary basis (in exchange for
extra wages and social wages) the elderly to look after children, freeing women
for work and study and increasing aggregate national output.
By
reducing and stabilising the basic cost of living necessities such as rent and
food, over the long-run domestic demand increases (as people have more disposable
income, due to falling accommodation costs) even though nominal paper
wages actually fall - giving a boost to domestic and allied state's industry.
As
for the much vaunted enemy idea that there can be `no job for life'. Insofar as
this is true; due to the necessarily increasing rapid development of
technology/need to continuously update skills (although this is also
used, ever increasingly as a techno-bollocks justification for squeezing more
out of fewer people with often falling investment), this further
illustrates the need to blur the distinction between re-education and
employment cycles (to stabilise standards of living). Something that can only
be done with increasingly higher social wages and declining (relative)
dependency on private wages so as not to cause periodical catastrophic drops in
living standards with wider (fatal) economic repercussions. unless of course,
the finance sharks mean by this that they are also happy to accept `no mortgage
repayments for life'.
(The
precise details of the econ program must be worked out by the movement as a
whole when all the relevant econ info is available - The precise details of the
above program are not set in concrete, they are principally intended as
a guide to the way the movement should be thinking in the context of our
abysmal economic inheritance - we invite contributions from others on this
& any other Qs)
Economic Warfare & the Revolution
The Q of Foreign Ownership
The complexity or simplicity of this Q is
largely determined by wether or not the
legitimacy Q is still a factor in the Euro/ global civil war; or
wether the old pseudo legitimate
military plutocratic formations have merged with Caesarist formations. In the
latter case, all out rev war negates this Q as a factor, in a general free for all (ultimately this WILL certainly be the case).
Ostensibly
it sounds like a clever idea to just confiscate everything owned by foreign (as
well as domestic) finance capital. However this approach should be treated with
extreme caution, for the following reasons:
Over the decades Britain has exported vast
amounts of its own capital abroad far more than foreign corps have
invested in Britain. If we nick theirs they will automatically nick ours.
Many of the foreign companies in Britain are
little more than shells/assembly plants. Others are entirely dependant on
foreign contracts with parent companies, eg. component manufacturers.
These corps can more usefully be used as
bargaining chips- eg. `we will exchange this for that and offset that foreign
asset (of ours) against this part of our national debt'. If they refuse to
recognise a given foreign asset as ours we may (and if the balance of forces
determines that this is the best/least worst option) confiscate such an asset
(in Britain) anyway.
In public negotiations we have an extra
advantage/chance to reveal to the international masses what scumbags/evil pacts
their ruling classes have made with our bourgeois (eg. the
secret deals over the ERM and recognition - by Britain - of Croatia/Bosnia without guarantees on the
rights of minorities- leading to bloody war/secession and the expansion of
German hegemony in the region - Or the £6Billion EU loan to Boris Yeltsin to
bankroll his murder of Chechnya - aiding Russia's fascist evolution/descent
into nuclear fuedalism, just so the resource & finance mafia can make one
last killing - mirroring Britain's arming of Adolf Hitler in the 1930's). This will help build the revolutionary movement abroad and
help us get the best possible price for our foreign assets & concessions on
debt inherited. Alternatively it will maximise the stink of the international
ruling classes to their masses, assisting further the revolutionary process.
If we dont engage the enemy this way, they
will have an extra excuse to put the squeeze on us. Eg. `Why should we
let the British of their debt' (as they demand immediate repayment)
`should we make similar concessions to all other that owe us money? Then we
will be bankrupt' - Confusing a sizeable section of the masses who'll think
(perhaps reluctantly) that this sounds reasonable. They will also be in a
better position to kill us of with loaded trading patterns.
We
should However:
Provisionally seize or place under armed
workers' guard such assets pending negotiations.
Ensure that no capital or machinery physically
leaves the country pending negotiations.
Open up all files on all (especially dodgy)
secret corporate/state agreements and invite international workers' delegations
to observe these.
Call for public negotiations at which foreign
workers' delegations are allowed to attend/ask questions of us and their
regimes . In order to reveal to them the criminality of their regimes and
exploit public forum to) propose a viable revolutionary economic alternative
(to the reign of the capital markets), based on civil society control of
finance via WPCs & redistributive global commonwealth confederation (to
avoid afore mentioned apocalyptic threats outlined in Chapter 1).
They
will of course attempt to strangle us anyhow, we must seek what geo allies we
can & adopt planned bi-lateral trade (as pre Euro Revolution, we are
not in a position to control global
econ via WPC control of global finance), as we attempt to survive.
It
is imperative that every revolutionary understands that these are not `optional
extras' but integral and indispensable parts of continuous operationally
globalised revolutionary-political warfare.
Copyright/ trade/ finance & the GCC
Nightmare scenario:
We
invite (or they choose of their own volition) 3rd world to rip up British
debts, they do so (with CIA encouragement) - bourgeois plutocracies (in L.
America/ elsewhere) is strengthened, OUR state (in rev Britain) is gravely
undermined WITHOUT any geo political weight in our favor.
We
need obviously to insist on a multilateralist approach to debt defaulting (as
an absolute precondition for acceptance) eg NOT just defaulting on rev states
(inherited) debts, but remaining military plutocracies (eg USA etc) to create a
geo pol/econ backdraft fuelling the global revolution in 3rd/ 1st world alike.
&
just as the IMF imposes pol/econ conditions for:
Recinding old debts
(Future) reciept of new loans
-
we must do the same, on a rev dem basis, demanding that finance be subordinated
tp civil society (see rev constitutional framework in Chapter 4) &
incorporation of said state into the framework of the Global Commonwealth
confederation (GCC).
Within
the GCC, there be the complete abandonment of all protectionist measues
(between memebers of the GCC) combined with the redistributive mechanism of the
GCC framework (funding investment/ development) to insure evolving geo pol/econ
balance/equilibrium vis finance unedr the heemony of global civil society.
Again,
we cannot open the limited market of a beleagured socialist state(s) moreover
fighting for its/their survival, to 3rd world capitalists, especially
without any corresponding hegemonic re-inforcement of rev civil society in the
3rd world. For ALL we would achieve
thence, is a tendancy to reverse the
colonial relationship, & global finance will still be the master.
This is the reason why we must impose
conditions on recinding of debts built up by the L. American tyrants & our
pseudl legitimate military plutocracy - we cannot tolerate the hegemony of
finance as a law unto itself creeping back in by the back door.
Eg
if you do not play by OUR game, we will pursue you according to the rules of
the bourgeois game you have chosen to play by (eg to the charge of
`Revolutionary Imperialism', we point out that your penury was fully the product of a regime your elites subscribe to/ collaborated with & would conspire
to impose on 3rd & 1st world civil society alike).
Q. WHAT
is the difference between copyright & finance issues in rev war?
A. Vis
info piracy, we rely on the rev (cyber) underground (our E. India corp), if we
subvert the underground by applying
the same precepts we will/ must
to finance/ trade, we will subvert our own stockade state/ revolution.
Immigration & 3rd world aid/trade
(& the political economy of racism)
The
key point we must deal with is that, historically the logic has been thus
far, if you oppose immediate unrestricted
immigration, by sheer default, you found yourself a few degrees removed from,
but in essentially the same camp as those argiung for `repatriation' - aiding
the military plutocracy in its `wog' bashing to create a false enemy away rom its
crimes.
Our
concern is how to avoid either suicidal approach, and fix a centre of rev
pol/econ gravity that can (and must) be consolidated.
The
threat of military plutocracy and how best to avoid it - through the
re-distributive commonwealth principle shapes our entire approach to this (and
all other) Q.
Therefore
our rev pol/econ policy will be geared towards balanced aid/immigration. As our
avoidance of military plutocracy is dependant on the prosperity of the 3rd
world. This means that in the first period after the revolution, policy will be
heavily weighted towards development of the 3rd world - To avoid the mass
migration of uneducated masses (to areas with finite resources anyway).
A potential econ drain which on the basis of the present system, can only be
countered by the worse solution of choking on our own barbed wire via the
military plutocratic nat sec state.
The
rev commonwealth in turn requires a geo pol/econ construct running parrallel to
the internal construct of the rev states (vis redistribution for social
wages/development) determining that a progressive proportion of especially higher incomes/surplus profits
via taxation, goes to this development - coupled with a bi-lateral construct to
(& the commonwealth of info) assisting this development (to halt the
impetus to mass migration of uneducated masses to areas with such finite
resources anyway - with its catastrophic pol/econ consequanes).
ALL
controls on immigration can/must be lifted once a state of relative/managed
global econ equillibrium has been attained (this will be a progressive linear
process anyway). Thence (to delight any Daily Mail readers reading this), the
world shall become a truly global melting pot.
(refer also to:
Green Revolution,
the Immigration Q
& the Common Ownership of Info
- from
Chapter 1)
Post
revolution, A sliding scale should be established (in the richer states)
between completely free immigration & WARTIME sacrifices for
reconstruction. The less sacrifices,
the freer the immigration, the more
tight the immigration, the greater the sacrifices for GLOBAL
reconstruction.
SHOULD
ANYONE ATTEMPT TO GERRYMANDER THE FORMULA BY SETTING UP A FORTRESS EUROPE, WITH
NOMINAL SACRIFICES, PAYING MERE LIPSERVICE TO THE GLOBAL COMMONEALTH
CONFEDERATION, A MILITARY PLUTOCRATIC REACTION WITHIN THE STATE SHALL GAIN
GROUND & CORRESPONDINGLY BE FACED WITH A VIOLENT REVOLUTIONARY COUNTER
OFFENSIVE, THE DREAD FEAR OF CIVIL WAR SHALL BE AN ADEQUATE CHECKING MECHANISM INSURING THAT ATTEMPTS TO
CRIMINALLY GERRYMANDER THE FORMULA ARE FIRMLY PUT DOWN, THE REVOLUTIONARY
CONSENSUS WILL BE (EVEN IF RELUCTANT), SUFFICIENT TO ESTABLISH/ ENFORCE
RECONSTRUCTIONIST ORDER.
But
how do we deal with this Q prior to the seizure of power/establishment of the
Socialist Commoonwealth?
As
stated to support the current limitations inevitably buttresses a right wing
pol/econ agenda, with its hue and cry of `wog' bashing - the setting up of a
false enemy for white workiing class youth (& others) to distract attention
from ruling class robbery - the disproportionate waste of the talents of
skilled/highly trained Blacks/asians bears testimony to this fact.
However
(as seen) there is a limit to the number of low skilled immigrants a rev commonwealth (and more so a besieged rev
stockade state) can absorb. So it should be made crystal clear that even under
a rev govt., some restrictions/limitations will have to apply.
For
the simple reason that the national resources we will inherit are desperately
finite. And just as it would be ridiculous to demand that a British
revolutionary army single-handedly liberate every colonial state from great
power tyranny by purely military means (with total disregard for the balance of
forces), so it would be equally absurd to suggest that we can absorb everyone that
may wish to live in Britain. The enemy will
seize upon every available opportunity (especially that we give them) to
sabotage the revolution. Even to the point of `helping' us by sending us ships
(free of charge) of unskilled immigrants (promised a better future in Britain
by the imperialists) in order to drown the revolution in a mass of desperate
humanity.
If
this sounds ultra-inflammatory, does anyone seriously believe that the French
regime, responsible for the Rwandan massacre -
the USA govt, which runs Fort Benning a military academy specially
dedicated to training Latin American military officers in the art of
military/fascist coups d'etat, genocide (liasing with landowners and drug
barons) has built up a huge nuclear arsenal to blackmail the world with threat
of oblivion in order to enforce its global hegemony (see indictment
in chapter 1) etc - or the German govt responsible for instigating the
carve-up in Bosnia, Tudjman/Susak's ustashe tyranny, or the regimes that have
risked the very survival of the human race by bankrolling Yeltsins' murder of
Chechnya - & Russia's fascizing process/descent into nuclear
fuedalism (just as Britain's ICI armed Adolf Hitler)
- simply so that their resource and finance mafia can make one last killing,
will have ANY compunction about such methods?
Especially if they are consistent with OUR program?
For
we will do the masses of the 3rd world no favors, if we allow the revolution to
be drowned in blood by some fascist junta riding to power on a wave of pogroms
- due to an economically insane, lopsided immigration policy.
With
this in mind we must give notice that we are prepared (as & when the
occassion demands) to execute CIA aided organised traffickers, seeking to
undermine our Revolution in rev stockade states.
UNTIL
the Global Commonwealth Confederation (GCC) is established, the antifascist
centre (against reaction) is held together by WAR against fascism (the Battle of Berlin, see/
refer back to scenarios/ framework outlined in chapters 1 & 2) &our
policy is NOT to encourage people to flee,
but to stand & fight fascism. Correspondingly our (military)
pol/econ priority/ policy is geared to supporting those that stand & fight/
WARTIME sacrifices for global reconstruction.
POST
Revolution, racial antipathy will likely increase due to massive WARTIME
sacrifices (to finance GLOBAL reconstruction), but will be held in check
(within the SAME individuals) by the exponentially greater PRIMARY
consciousness/ knowledge, that if they don't endure such sacrifices, its THEIR
arse threatened with oblivion (as outlined in Chapter 1). As the global
pol/econ stabilises establishes relative equilibrium, racism corresspondingly
evaporates, ceases to be a factor (a curious phenonemon, racism increasing
post Revolution, YET global consciousness grows exponentially more, keeping it
in check/ ultimately eradicating it).
The notion that racism can be viewed/ treated as
a freestanding concept has no meaning/ validity whatever. Racism is
based on the complacency,
the belief that it is possible for a section of humanity to prosper/
thrive directly via or merely incidently with, the degradation of another. But
as we can see NOW, with USA/ Euro whites themselves threatened with oblivion
(as outlined in Chapter 1), this is no longer the case,
they be obliged to wage war against complacency in society generally (&
within themselves) for global reconstruction to secure their own
survival.(other issues eg equal employment, are essentially
auxilliary to this core rev principle & wholly dependant on its consolidation to avoid reversal)
It is
self evidantly the ACME of insanity to imagine racism can be eclipsed in
anything other than a militarised global (reconstructionist) pol/econ context,
forged around the common threats/ objectives facing humanity - with
finance serving civil society instead of
of civil society in chains
before finance.
But
until the rev stockade state, we should attack the regimes' immigration on a
procedural & a case by case basis - but MUCH more critically, highlight
the fact that the military plutocratic enemy be the same scum waging war on us
as well as the 3rd world. And this shall be (with the rev commonwealth
solution) the centre of gravity that shall hold stable policies, the rev
movement and the whole world together.
(refer also to:
Green Revolution,
the Immigration Q
& the Common Ownership of Info
- from
Chapter 1)
As for `morality' when (as elaborated earlier, vis global econ crash
& collapse of the Ulster peace
boom, leading to political warlordism - as elites attempt to retain control of
the pol/econ agenda) 10,000s of white catholics are slaughtered in Ulster,
mainland Blacks & Asians (including the author) will be so much dogmeat, UNLESS a VIABLE rev military geo
pol/econ framework is established. Those
that are NOT preparing for civil war
against this fascism, have absolutely no moral right to denounce as racist
those that are.
Foreign Policy
(insofar as this has not already been covered)
The Federated Socialist Republics of Great
Britain (any rev stockade state) will face a sustained and carefully
orchestrated campaign of external economic sabotage, military provocation
(aimed initially at the dependencies) and terrorism designed to bring about
panic in the populace and pave the way for a military-fascist coup/takeover.
With
this in mind it is neccessary for the revolutionary federation to take all
practical military/political measures to minimise and counter-act the external
counter-revolutionary threat eg.:
A 2nd Dunkirk.
Pull
back all military hardware/resources to secure the defence of the
British Isles. Immediately evacuate the Falkland Isles and lay contingency
plans for the evacuation of Gibralter and other dependencies. Strengthen
coastal defences.
An all-out political offensive.
Make
maximum political capital out of expediency (eg, our principled withdrawal from
the Falklands due to Thatchers' deployment of nuclear weapons in the conflict) without
trying to pretend that this is our preferred option. Our best/preferred option
would be to hold onto the islands until the Argentine revolution has strung up
its' junta/CIA collaborators/state and corporate criminals. This unfortunately
is utterly impractical without revolutionary American or Russian help (Thatcher
only won last time because of USA assistance).
Release
all secret pol/econ info and challenge the enemy to do the same. The British
revolutionary govt to stick its' nose all over the world where its' not wanted
to assist the international revolution by:
Political intervention in disputes/conflicts and appeals to the
international masses (plenty of scope viz the role of global finance in the 3rd
world and in the major powers etc).
Pushing an alternative economic and trade
agenda.
Establish an international alternative info
source/base through the Internet and international news media.
Above all, SURVIVAL depends on
establishing the pan commonwealth campaign. Therefore NO holding back the
Intenationalist Brigades. (All else are mere short term strategic moves to aid the
revolutionary campaign/ buy time & space for temporary survival).
