Socialists have always despised the Working Class

James Spencer over at Bridge Ward News latest post is interesting. It starts

Every now and again you feel that what you’ve incoherently saying for blog post after blog post can be put more pithily. And that unlikely source, Labour List has done just that. In fact one sentence buried did this:

I no longer have any faith that the Labour Party will make a better society – or even wants to do so

Quite.

There’s a link to this article by a despondent Labour Party Member.

As you can see the first comment has been removed. The first comment was about how the last Labour government screwed the British Working Class by having an open door policy on immigration to rub the rights noses in diversity. It talks about how some British Working Class feel under siege due to the amount of immigrants living in their area and how British Working class have been made unemployed due to the influx of immigrants coming into the country.

The comment has been removed because it does not go well with their love of diversity from their nice houses in areas where everyone who lives in the area are British and everyone works in employment not being taken by migrant labour.

As you can see, the following comment was not “Yes it’s terrible what we did to this country. Our secret project of social engineering has been so detrimental to the working class people who voted for us.” but,

Dangerous, dangerous, dangerous. Why the race element ?? We have Asian Muslim communities in Glasgow whose vote sLabour take for granted and I’m sure in other parts of the UK there are other BME communities who are represented by elected members who go off to Westminster and forget all about their constituents.

By this we must assume that if elected again Labour will carry on their project of social engineering at the expense of their traditional core vote and accuse anybody who dares speak against it of being racist.

The policy of making many working people unemployed and dependent on benefit while having an open door immigration policy, causing certain working class areas to be flooded with immigrants who then took British working people’s jobs was not the only attack on the working class of this country launched by the last Labour government.

Labour ripped apart working class communities closing local post offices and forcing local pubs to close. The smoking ban was a calculated attack on the working class as the fox hunting ban was a calculated attack on the upper class. They left self interested, middle class people who live in key marginals alone.

It’s not common knowledge but Labour (and the left in general) haven’t come to despise the working class only recently. This article on the past left wing social engineering project of Eugenics demonstrates the left’s view of the working class, which we can tell by the last Labour Government, hasn’t changed.

According to Dennis Sewell, whose book The Political Gene charts the impact of Darwinian ideas on politics, the eugenics movement’s definition of “unfit” was not limited to the physically or mentally impaired. It held, he writes, “that most of the behavioural traits that led to poverty were inherited. In short, that the poor were genetically inferior to the educated middle class.” It was not poverty that had to be reduced or even eliminated: it was the poor.

Hence the enthusiasm of John Maynard Keynes, director of the Eugenics Society from 1937 to 1944, for contraception, essential because the working class was too “drunken and ignorant” to keep its numbers down.

They may not believe that the poor are genetically inferior to the educated middle class now, but they do believe that the working class are inferior to themselves.

Instead of bringing the poor out of poverty their solution to poverty was culling the poor.
