O'Brien Trot 2024

Book Review: James O’Brien’s “How They Broke Britain”! (11.5.2024)

A similar distorting pattern can be found in his relentless pro-EU propaganda (a distortion which omits entirely the EU’s “US-inspired” history of manipulation) is thoroughly condescending (ignoring as he does the left-wing opposition to the EU) – whilst his hatchet-job on Jeremy Corbyn seems to be the entire purpose of the book (according to O’Brien, “Zionism” is inherently “good” – and to oppose this UN-recognised form of fascism is “anti-Semitic”, etc) – camouflaged as it is (from both sides) by his “displeasure” with atypical Tory figures (many of these individuals being “non-White” – but with O’Brien careful NOT to be seen as singling them out) he choses to include in his diatribe. O’Brien has plenty to say about David Cameron – but remains “silent” about the UN-recognised killing of at least 120,000 British people with Disabilities (between 2010-2016) – by the “Coalition” of rabid Tories and LibDems! This rate of attrition was achieved (and is still being achieved) through the auspices of ruthless and permanent Tory cuts in the Welfare State, Social Services and National Health Services.

Victor Lewis Smith – Smashing Things to Pieces! (28.2.2023) 

Although I find what he was doing a demonstration of the Britain I love – the natural left-wing ‘freedom of thought’ and ‘expression’ I was brought up with – I recently watched a a video of a young man in his twenties in the UK describe the ‘Gay Daleks’ sketch as being ‘fascist’! This reminds me of those deluded young people who think US hegemony (and EU bigotry) equal ‘Internationalism’ – and that totalitarian conformity (as decreed by the US system) represents the highest form of individual freedom! These lost souls carry flags featuring Che Guevara next to flags of the EU – and stupidly believe that they are being ‘Revolutionary’! Such people are unable to think for themselves and understand that Neo-Nazi Ukraine is the enemy, and that Russia is fighting these Hitleresque forces once again – sacrificing its people for the containment of fascism! Victor Lewis Smith may not have been a ‘Communist’ (who knows?) but at least he exercised his ‘freedom of thought’ and did not compromise!

Jacques Derrida: Spectres of Shit… (18.2.2023) 

Whereas Lenin, Stalin and Mao naturally flow from Marx and Engel – Derrida represents a ‘parallel’ and ‘capitalist’ friendly interpretation of Marx which seems to be countering the orgy of post-Soviet congratulation – but in reality, is supporting and expressing jubilation in the collapse of the USSR and the Western attempt to bring down Socialist China in 1989! Derrida remained absolutely ‘silent’ when the 2011 Wikileaks proved virtually all of his assertions about China wrong! Derrida started his career by emulating Marx in his ability to expose the ‘inverted’ nature of the Bourgeois System – but deviated from Marx by unnecessarily extending this process into a Judeo-Christian (secular) expression of ‘spirituality’ – with each word and sentence no longer being attached (or associated) with the material reality from which it had originally emerged. Revealing ‘hidden’ meanings is one thing (nothing ‘new’) – but superimposing the boundless (and ‘mystical’) ‘essence’ of the Bourgeoise White privilege that defined his life was something quite different. These French-style shenanigans would have made Trotsky ‘turn’ in his grave – if only the protruding pickaxe had not prevented his putrefying corpse from rotating!
