Ken Loach, the Spirit of 45, Left Unity…… No Thanks

MB | 29.04.2013 23:55 | Analysis


“More folk trotting round the fool’s parade of representative democracy. So you plan to represent us, to work within the existing hierarchy to ameliorate our conditions of exploitation, to answer the big questions for us?
Be known or unbeknown, you have begun again, again, a path that leads to the treachery of the working class. You isolate yourselves in Left Unity, separated from community, except when elections come around, you’ll no doubt surface for oxygen.
Another top-down organisation to think, see, hear, feel, and walk for us? No thanks, we’ll fight for ourselves; we’ll take matters into our own hands. We do not need another fucking bourgeois party making our dinner for us. And we don’t need another set of proto-politicians running around town cocking things up.
Not even a whisper of decentralisation and autonomy; not a murmur of bottom up, horizontal organisation. Nope, Left Unity has gone straight for the authoritarian model of capitalist democratiks…. And you call yourselves socialists?
