hello

this is my first discord experience

I was wondering what you all thought of tackling workerism within Communist parties across the West

by workerism, I not only mean adherence to "traditional white working class values" as a concept, but also the tendency to pander to other communities whose cultures have similar reactionary trends

reactionary ideas spead through bourgeois media in working class environments.

xenophobia, willingness to go back to previous stage of capital ("it was better when we had the factories"), etc.

homophobia in some parts, but that is not exclusive to the "native" populations

thats my point

The Dutch SP is a good example of this,

http://dutchturks.nl/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Jan-Marijnissen1111.jpg

here he says "In the Netherlands we speak Dutch" after a Turkish SP member just thanked his family members in turkish

its there

because its his private account

Dutch-Turks "Turks Nederlanders"

but his party is full of this kind of stuff

depending on the location

But mainly in depressed industrial zones zhere workerism is a phenomenon

So how do we fight it

The problem is these mentalities are present within European radical left parties

like Die Linke

Well he was their ex-leader

and the woman who leads Die Linke is anti-refugee

I am by no means eliminating the argument that the best response to the refugee problem is fixing the countries themselves but the rhetoric is troubling. Its almost as if they are saying that the only way to attract voters is to elect big mouths like the far right

she was elected leader

so was Marijnissen

Well she emulated the previous score of Die Linke, in largely the same parts

Die Linke's score was largely unchanged.

from the previous election

She is popular inside the party

the election result

no you are right to be critical

I just didn't see this before the emergence of right-wing populism

and now it seems we are trying to imitate them in certain aspects

most notably via this concept of workerism

aka the proleteriat is always right

hello

is suburbia a form of dystopia

im amazed how much capital takes a so much broader sense here

like owning a car, or being close to a bus stop

we dont like antifa_

?

well we used to like it

you know, when it was actually anti-fascist

exactly tato

it was born in Paris

by skins who wanted nothing to do with boneheads
