The circus game of Crooks and Liars, known as the general
election, is being thrust upon us with all the usual hysteria, by
that babbling brook of bullshit, the mainstream media, all the usual
slight of hand and smoke and mirrors will be in use. It will of course, be the same
old boring waffle, the usual attempt by the Crooks and Liars to prove
they are the best Crooks and Liars in the game. To take part in the Crooks and Liars contest, you are expected to be a member of one of the prancing pricks clubs, sometimes called political parties.
In the ensuing weeks we will be smothered in the same old crap,
spouted from the same old privileged Oxbridge educated millionaire
parasite class. They will, with the obligatory smiling face, be
telling us how much they care about us peasants, how we are all in
this together, promising you and I, the same old pie-in-the-sky, if
we will only let them screw us for another five years. They will be
asking you to legitimise their entrenched power and pilfered wealth,
seeking your approval as they bolster the wealth and power of their
buddies in the financial/corporate Mafia. Sadly, the greatest fraud
show on earth, the general election, will be seen my those who
indulge the Crooks and Liars with their X on a piece of paper, as
having achieved something. It will of course, no matter how few
actually vote, be taken as giving the charade of the Crooks and Liars
game, the stamp of legitimacy. They will then be entrenched for
another 5 year spell of helping themselves, and their corrupt
corporate cronies, in their continuing plundering of the public
purse.
By then, as George Carlin said, "they have you by the
balls". Of course, we could turn up at their performances and
have a good laugh and expose it for the smoke and mirrors illusion
that we know it to be. We could also spend the run up to the Crooks and
Liars competition in a concerted effort to reveal the hypocrisy,
corruption and self serving reality of the Crooks and Liars
competition they call the general election.
Though there is a call for change, there doesn't seem to be
too great a ground swell to scrap the ballot box and take control of our
lives. So perhaps Ian Bone's Class War election campaign has
something going for it. An opportunity to use that platform as a
propaganda exercise, a chance to talk class war politics to a wider
public, to put class war on the agenda, to once again get more people
talking about class, and the realisation that we are being conned, and this is a class war
situation.
We are standing Class War candidates in the general
election on May 7th 2015. We are doing this to launch a furious and
co-ordinated political offensive against the ruling class with the
opportunity an election gives us to talk politics to our class. We in
no way see the election as an alternative to direct action. By the
brick and the ballot.
We are not talking community politics
here. It’s too late for a patient slowbuild like the IWCA. The
ruling class have us by the throat -they need a short sharp kick in
the bollocks. Our election campaign will use any means necessary. we
won’t be ushered away by PR minders – we will make ourselves
central to the campaign in a funny, rumbustious combative and
imaginative way. We will be on the streets and in their faces.
Comrades whatever our yesterdays you are welcome now. join
in. reject cynicism. have fun.
FULL STEAM AHEAD
