See The Other As Self.

 

       In this society, there are so many campaigns on so many issues, from freedom of movement, freedom of speech, feminism, human rights, freedom from religious extremism, animal rights, the right to privacy, and so it goes on. All of this highlights the fact the we are living in a flawed system, a system where each individual has to fight for the right just to exist without coercion, intimidation or fear. At the heart of this flawed society is the failure to see the other as a unique human being with the same rights as ourselves. If we put that part right, the rest should follow.

      This latest broadcast from Circled A Radio, is an interview with Maryam Namazie. Maryam Namazie has spoken and written numerous articles on Women’s Rights issues, free expression, Islamism, and Secularism.

Radical Politics Is Mainstream.

         We often hear people being labelled as being involved "radical politics" but this label is pinned on them by the elitist minority to give the impression that somehow if your view differs from them, you are the minority and therefore your view is radical, or even extremist. However, the truth is "radical politics" is the politics of the working class, which anyone knows is the majority. The vast majority of people believe in an equal society, sharing fairly, helping each other, and caring for the needy and vulnerable, and that is what is labelled "radical politics". The view that we all believe in the existing system where the few get all the wealth while the majority do all the work, is peddled by the establishment and broadcast by the babbling brook of bullshit, the mainstream media, as the majority view.

        Not everybody can articulate in words, the way to structure society for that equality, fairness, caring and sharing, but they carry that desire with them. Theirs is the mainstream view, the majority view, not the "radical" view. The problem to date has been our inability to come together to realise that desire, but we are getting there.

Circled A Radio, Violence In The Left.

       Violence is a many coloured, many faceted beast, it taints many avenues of this society. Subtle under ground, quietly in the back ground and sometimes in your face at home, at work, and various organisations, some that wear the badge of equality, and of course, the top of the tree, the state.

      This week Circled A Radio discusses two cases of violence in "left" organisations, the RTM and SWP.

The Pompous Parasites' Plaything.

       You think the country is divided by class, you think inequality is rife, you think the dice is loaded in favour of a privileged few, you think injustice is all around you, and you decide to make a protest. It is a simple one man protest you decide to disrupt that 160 year old symbol of elitism, the Oxford and Cambridge boat race. So you jump in the Thames and have a swim during the boat race. However, the simple protest has the privileged parasites baying for blood, how dare a commoner disrupt their pompous playtime. It goes all the way to the top of the stinking pile, not only are you sentenced to six months in prison but the Home Secretary wants to break up your marriage and have you deported. However Trenton Oldfield won his case against deportation. Here Trenton Oldfield tells his story on Circled A Radio.
