Why DoMiddle Class Left Wingers Hate Fighting Local Issues?

Mike Lane | 02.08.2002 09:08

I have now figured out why all these so called far left wingers have continually got their heads into international issues when millions of us poor working class people, who live in the UK’s poorest run down areas, live in poverty. It’s quite simple they live to the analogy of. I’m all right Jack, so therefore everyone else in the UK must be the same.

It’s obvious. Most of these far lefties are middle class twerps who still hold onto their middleclassness. George Orwell, who these suburbanites hate, and who was one of them himself, spoke of the middle classes and their weird culture in his famous book “The Road to Wigan Pier”.

Being middle class and having to suffer the absurdity of speaking with a different accent to most of the working class people around them these twerps are given better life chances than us working class folk; so they don’t know what it is like to be truly deprived of the things in life the make life more bearable. These twerps are experts at what I call the rationalising mind, in other words they can make a seemingly authentic argument against anything that threatens their culture and even though it is blatantly obvious that they lead a more happier and prosperous life that us proletariats they like to portray themselves as the real suffers of social injustice. They are also experts at twisting things about to make it look like they are the purveyors of all truths and wisdom.

Whilst us working class people live in poverty in run down communities, far removed from the middle class suburbs, these middle class twerps live comparatively OK. Is it any wonder then that these twerps have got their heads constantly into international issues whilst blatantly ignoring local issues? They don’t have to suffer from the crap services and the idiot middle class services providers making outlandish decisions and wasting millions of pounds of public funding, money that belongs to us all not just to the middle class incompetents that waste it. Maybe if these middle class far left dreamers took the time to look at how us poor people, who live just down the road from them, lived they would see that charity begins at home.

In conclusion. Have you ever heard a middle class twerp bleat on about how he or she lived in poverty when they where students? I have had to witness this sickening spectacle on many occasions. What these people never tell you is that mommy and daddy are always floating around in the background waiting to pull the out of the proverbial you know what. In other words these middle class twerps, right through the whole of their lives, always have an ace up their sleeve. There is always some one there to hold out a helping hand to them. Not so with many of us working class people. We don’t have any redeemer or angel of mercy; we just have to get on with our miserable lives.

SO YOU LEFT WING MIDDLE CLASSIES HOW’S ABOUT JOINING US POOR SOCIALLY EXCLUDED PROLETARIATS AND TAKING ON SOME LOCAL ISSUES INSTEAD OF BURYING YOUR HEADS IN INTERNATIONAL ISSUES

Take a look at this web site:  http://www.openlyclassist.org.uk/ I agree with most of what I read on this web site. If your working class it’s a must. If you are middle class, which probably most of the readers of Indymedia are, log on to it if you dare.
