There are
some funny people in the labour movement.
But not all
are amusing.
One weird bunch who were in favour
of voting alongside UKIP in June’s referendum (and are now celebrating
the victory of reaction and demanding action) have had some influence in
UNISON’s Greater London Regional Office in recent years. No lay activists openly associate with this organisation but it appears that some paid employees of our trade union share its rather odd views.
These, generally anonymous infiltrators into our
movement believe
that it is “a decade of intense
migration with approaching a million from the new European Union states coming
to look for work in Britain” rather than a decade of Government failing to
invest in our public services that “has
had a debilitating effect on schools, housing and medical services.” This
faulty analysis would embarrass a student of GCSE politics (never mind a
student of Marx), but is commonplace amongst people who describe themselves as “Communist” (!)
It is not
therefore a surprise, given their inability to comprehend the world around them
that these so-called
Marxists conclude
that since “mass migration provides a
potentially limitless reserve army of the unemployed to undermine workers’
organisation, pay and conditions built up over centuries by the working class
here” it is therefore important that “our
resistance to this begins with the fight to leave the EU.” It is shameful
that anonymous labour movement functionaries who try to associate
their politics with Fidel Castro, a true hero of our class, should peddle
such nationalist and racist nonsense.
This blog
has from
time to time
made observations
about the (and honestly this is not a joke name) Communist Party of Britain
(Marxist-Leninist) which is now little more than an apolitical freemasonry of
the labour movement bureaucracy (with a sideline in reactionary
British nationalism).
Of course
there are risks
in making enemies...
