<p>My views concerning a Nazi party getting into power have NOTHING to do with "the working class". You are the one obsessed with the working class. I see people as the public, the population, the electorate. I see that builders, bankers, jews, gays, socialists, capitalists would all be prone to vote for a party that opposed islam, if it was the only party opposing islam, and if they knew what their place would be in an islamic society.

<p>My views concerning a Nazi party getting into power have NOTHING to do with "the working class". You are the one obsessed with the working class. I see people as the public, the population, the electorate. I see that builders, bankers, jews, gays, socialists, capitalists would all be prone to vote for a party that opposed islam, if it was the only party opposing islam, and if they knew what their place would be in an islamic society. No views on class consciosness come into it, no historical determinism. We are all, all the time, involved in making decisions based on our understanding of how other people think and will respond. We do it on a small scale when we ask a stranger the time, we do it on a large scale when we make investments, plan a career, join a political party.</p>
<p>The starting post of this thread is from you, and refers to the BNP. I don't know a single person who has mentioned the BNP in the context of Tommy quitting EDL. That goes across blogs, facebook, twitter, 4f. Not one person. AFIAC the BNP are history. And clearly most of the people I know think like that too. </p>
<p>When Shiva explained his reasons for disliking Geller/Spencer, you jumped on it and started to interrogate him about these matters. You might think you don't have an obsession with the BNP but your behaviour betrays otherwise.</p>
<p>Now you are actually among friends here, and I've known you for 3 years, and supported you and even tried to warn you when people were out to get you. Yet you are adopting an extremely combative attitude.</p>
<p>If you are actually interested in understanding my views, I suggest you go and listen to this. It's the closest thing to being a statement of my views that you would understand. <strong><a href="http://mises.org/media/categories/233/Theory-and-History">http://mises.org/media/categories/233/Theory-and-History</a> </strong></p>
<p></p>
<p>My views are diametrically opposed to marxism, nazism and determinism. As I suspect everyone else on 4F knows. </p>

<p>It doesn't change my position in the slightest. It sounds like scaremongering in order to get your policies and opinions adopted. It's a warning. Do X, or face the consequences. But what about fighting the BNP and Islamisation? Is that really more naive than voting for Nazis in order to defeat other Nazis? Is this sophisticated realpolitik or just stupidity?</p>

<p><span style="font-size: 13px;">Don't repeat the statement that I think history will repeat itself when I have responded to that. I don't think that. I have just rejected YOUR scenarios. That's not the same thing at all.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 13px;">It's very unhelpful for you to accuse me of seeing the working class in the way Leftists do simply because that's what I said about you. You can see where this is going.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 13px;">The 'fixed consciousness' approach is precisely what you believe. When X happens, according to your theories about the future, the working class will embrace Nazism. How more 'fixed' can you be than that? I never said that every member of the working class was some kind of rabid anti-Nazi. It's just that you, and the Left, think the opposite - they are either closet Nazis or will embrace it if Islamism continues or unemployment goes over two million. Very fixed and determinist. Very Marxist. Is this where you accuse me of being Marxist too?</span></p>

<p>The people who have told me they voted for the BNP were working-class gay men, lesbians, and jews and other immigrants. None of them are Nazis, in fact, all are opposed to Nazism. I've no idea who you think you know, but you certainly do not know all the people I talk to.<span style="font-size: 13px;">They all voted for the BNP knowing that the party is anti-semitic and homophobic. They are people who know about islam - some of them coming from countries being torn apart by islam. The rest of Britain has no idea of the horrors that are sanctified as holy by islam. And another jew in Europe told me last week he'd rather see the Nazis in control of Europe than Muslims. If all the people of Britain knew what islam has in store for them, and no party except the BNP was opposing it, then the BNP would be in power.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 13px;">You have some kind of romanticized vision of the working class. Bizarre really. It is what the socialists do. You are the one maintaining that "the working class" have some kind of fixed consciousness, which would prevent them from voting for increased wages, early retirement, health care, strong borders. All the things that the fascists, nazis, socialists hope will be recognised by the poorer sections of society as being in their interests. Only the post-war socialists drop the border control.</span></p>
<p>It seems to me that you are adopting a position of ideological contamination. If someone voted for the BNP (regardless of their motives) they are a Nazi. Who are you to decide that someone is "wrong" for voting differently than you? The next step is to remove the vote from such people, because they can't use it correctly.</p>
<p>People make decisions based on the options available to them. If they see that there is an issue that far outweighs all others in importance, and only one party supports that policy, then maybe that is how they vote. I think the vast majority of people understand voting behaviour that way. Only you think that it is somehow determined by class consciousness, and that "the working class" could never choose to vote that way.</p>
<p>I have fears for the future. Clearly you don't, since the future just repeats the past. I got involved in EDL to stop Nazis from coming to power. And if Tommy's next move is to create a group which opposes islam, nazism, and communism, I will be utterly delighted. </p> OOOOps PAM I linked to the w…tag:4freedoms.com,2013-10-13:3766518:Comment:1401022013-10-13T14:03:36.469Zshivahttp://4freedoms.com/profile/shiva

<p> </p>
<p>Obviously a lot of people are upset with Tommy at the moment for what they see as some kind of defection to the Enemy.</p>
<p>Tommy, was on the BBC sunday morning show this morning saying pretty much the same as he's always said. He sounds like he's trying to take the conversation forward, and has joined a group that IS already giving him a better platform to speak from.</p>
<p>In a quick survey on the program 95% said the EDL had a valid argument against Islam. Although not scientific it is still a resounding vote of confidence.</p>
<p>Although every one is intitled to a view, suggesting that EDL needs a leader to focus at the moment i don't believe is true. Tommy has been crucified for being the leader. And theres not many people in the past who have been keen to take on the mantle of spokeman for the organisation because they know the trouble that will follow.</p>
<p>Also Casuals don't have a spokesman that gets up on the screens talking to the Media. This is not a critism, because i know as soon as one of them stood up and said they were the Leader, they would be targeted. They would be held to account for evey wrong non political correct word written on the Casual site, they would have their lives turned upside down and inside out. Casuals work well because they keep away from the media.</p>
<p>The media and the authorities want a 'leader' because then they've got some one to target and smear, thus smearing all followers of that organisation, and discrediting everything they say or do.</p>
<p>I think EDL will run just fine for now with the RO's opperating like a commity. Wasting time Critizing Tommy wont do EDL any good, and where would it end? The EDL is the voice for those that want to speak out and protest about the harm Islam is causing to our country. Theres no reason it can't carry on. Everyone can discuss whether Tommys move was of any use to him or any good to the CJM as we go along.</p>
<p>Let Tommy do what he's doing. Its way to soon to judge him on the course he's chosen. For 4 years he's given his own family a life of hell for the EDL. Why would anyone want to jump into them shoes so quick.</p>
<p> </p>

<p>"It might come as a revelation to you, but I know a number of jews in Britain who vote for the BNP, because their greatest fear is islam. And if they can vote for the BNP, why on earth should it not be the case that as islamisation increases, more and more people would disprove your naive view that the British working class would never vote for Nazis.

<p>No surprise at all. Two of them I know personally. Jews have as much right as anyone to be Nazis. It would be racist to claim that ALL Jews were non-racist. Some Jews I know would vote BNP save for the fact that it hates the Jews.</p>
<p>And that is as wrong as non-Jews voting for the BNP because of the threat as Islam.</p>
<p>I never said that Brits would NEVER vote Nazi. I'm not a futorologist. I said that as things stand, they wouldn't. And I doubt that things will change that much in the next twenty years. 'Austerity' will not change that. The odd riot won't. And neither will Muslim grooming. But I don't know that. And I don't rely on theory to show that it will be otherwise.</p>
<p>You also seem to discount the non-Nazi right-wing middle-class. Will they go Nazi too - as on Martin Smith's subtle analysis? Not likely. In fact the combined efforts of the non-Leftist and non-Nazi working and middle classes will hopefully stop complete Islamisation. That's not happening now to a large extent but things are changing. And they are changing with virtually no help of the BNP. Things are moving slowly, even too slowly. But when they do change, I doubt it will have anything to do with the BNP or with Brits as a whole embracing Nazism.</p>
