Liberal Socialism & What is to be done, Part 3
Something about the controlled opposition Labour Party, Establishment infiltration of the Green Party, the Langemann Papers & British political history
For the previously, Part 1 is there, and Part 2 is there.
See, I can eschew intros!
Before I instruct you even more in the light arts of economics and business and money, there is one more Big Lie I need to briefly mention. And this one is physics (or ‘theoretical physics’, you might also call it). This is one of the reasons I wanted to do my DEXOS series. Partly to show you what you are missing in a better world, and thus to entice you or your passion for such a better world, but also to explain what the ruling class are withholding from you.
You might not think that physics is important, but actually it’s vitally important. Because if you understand the true physics (what we ironically call ‘the New Physics’), then you can understand how it’s possible to create effectively free energy. If you have free energy, that’s to say, self-sufficient households, then ‘the state’ can no longer control the people. Likewise, if everyone has a private electric people’s car, as it were, which they can recharge themselves, and has no reliance whatsoever on something like lithium (we use ultracapacitors), then of course you cannot control them even further.
Thus, you cannot maintain your feudalist system. Likewise remember that Liberal Socialism is an anti-feudalist system. It is government by the people (same social group) for the people. Otherwise known as democracy. That assumption ‘the government cares about the people’ is in fact true for members of the Liberal Socialist Party.
If you want to understand the ‘conspiracy theory’ element of all this, then you simply need to consider that there will always be some people who realise this or that big lie. If you don’t control them, then you are in trouble, obviously. Therefore what you do is create ‘honeypots’ or ‘controlled opposition’ movements. This can also take the form of ‘limited hangout’. This is where you allow ‘some’ of the truth to come out, to make the movement seem genuine, but you withhold the important stuff, and you also insert false information. If the followers of your little O’Brien-led organisation believe you are genuine (say, if you have given them some true information), then they will likely believe everything else you say. Given that these honeypots are controlled by your intelligence services, you get the added bonus of a list of names of everyone who opposes you and sees through your big lies.
Hopefully you can understand how far from this being a ‘conspiracy theory’, it’s actually a ‘logical necessity’ for your ruling class. Or ‘logistical’ necessity, rather.
Naturally, this applies as much to academic subjects like physics or economics or psychology as it does to politics itself. There’s the famous – or infamous – quote attributed to Lenin here, ‘the best way to control the opposition is to lead it yourself’.
So this is where we apply this to British political history. You see, if you maintain a feudalist system, it’s fairly obvious you are going to encounter resistance (what Polanyi termed the ‘double movement’). For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Especially from the peasantry/serfs. In modern parlance, let’s call them the ‘exploited working class’. That group will, if left unchecked, and simply by virtue of outnumbering you, eventually rally around an ideology – let’s call it ‘socialism’ for want of a better word – and that movement will gain sufficient momentum and size to eventually overthrow you and win.
Thus, you need to control that movement. This, historically, is where Karl Marx comes in, then later the so-called Fabian Society (this article also looks well worth a goosey; note well for future reference the Fabians were/are into eugenics and population reduction). His subversive purpose, or mission, was to attack this burgeoning genuine socialist movement, and create a new ‘ideology’, falsely call it ‘socialism’, and attract all the dissidents. The big lie of Marxism is that it’s got anything to do with socialism. It doesn’t. It is simply a continuation of feudalism – precisely as we saw in Russia following the Bolshevik coup in October 1917.
Liberal Socialism recognises all of this. It does not shy away from the term ‘conspiracy theory’ simply out of some insipid fear of being subjected to Establishment propaganda smears or accusations of being ‘conspiracy theorists’. Furthermore, Liberal Socialists never shift their policies or manifesto ‘according to public opinion’ (the so-called Overton Window, that is). They recognise that the Establishment controls public opinion via its control over the media (the media, remember, being composed of people from the same social group – which gives the other big lie to the so-called ‘separation of powers’ – there is no separation of powers if members of the same social group control all those powers; privatisation, in other words, makes no difference to state control).
In this world it should be clear to you how they have been pushing you to the so-called ‘right’ of their so-called ‘political spectrum’ for many decades now. Arguably since they inflicted Thatcher on the country in 1979. What you are experiencing today is the culmination of Thatcher, which has been built upon by successive governments since.
Remember also how Kinnock moved the Labour Party to the right after 1983. This left a gaping own goal, as it were, in the ‘Liberal’ and ‘Socialist’ quadrant of the political compass. And this is where the Liberal Socialists parked themselves. And they never budged an inch. Because normal human beings, especially in Britannia, under normal circumstances, are indeed ‘liberal’ and they are indeed ‘socialist’.
This basic historical timeline, in fact, is vitally important to grasp if you want to understand the last forty years of British political history. Here’s the short version. The semi-secret group known as Le Cercle, as evidenced by the Langemann Papers, which was essentially another CIA cutout (although also including members of European intelligence agencies), conspired to ‘effect a change of government in the United Kingdom’, as the Langemann Papers documented. Those papers, leaked in the early 1980s, are essentially the minutes of two Le Cercle meetings which took place in December 1979 and January 1980, in which that agenda item ‘effect a change of government in the UK’ was marked as ‘Status: accomplished’.
I wonder what your British people would think if all this was general widespread knowledge – Thatcher was a product of an American conspiracy against our country. So much for the special relationship.
Because Thatcher was so unpopular, however, by 1981 the Labour Party at the time, under Michael Foot, which was indeed fairly socialist, was achieving over 50% in the polls, with Thatcher 25 points lower. Thus, the Establishment infiltrators in the Party known as ‘the gang of four’ split from Labour and formed the SDP, which allied with the Liberals at the 1983 election and which later became the Liberal Democrats (similar questions should be asked of Starmer’s associations). This split the anti-Tory vote and allowed Thatcher back in. In other words, they defeated socialism. Then came Kinnock and moved the party to the right, leaving that open goal for a new socialist party. In your world, by the way, it’s been like this ever since. And your people seem too stupid to even see it, let alone take advantage. And so the ‘disaffected’ are left with the far-right option of Nigel Farage. This pushing the people towards the far-right, partly by creating the very socio-economic problems which push people to the extremes, has been deliberately orchestrated, you should know. Because the Establishment themselves are absolutely ‘far-right’, aren’t they?
The Labour myth of the 1983 manifesto being ‘the longest suicide note in political history’ perseveres to this day in your world. Likewise their second great myth about the glorious 1945 Attlee government. Truth is, that government was atrocious. Not only did it inflict austerity on everyone (which not only prevented economic recovery and progress, but allowed the Tories back in), but it blithely continued the same old rampant Establishment colonialism and racist exploitation. Likewise they offered no objection to the Morgenthau plan. As for the so-called NHS, they didn’t go far enough, and they clearly didn’t make it Tory-proof.
So here is where our timeline differs from yours. And it concerns the Green Party. I, and some of my friends (ironically we also came to be known as ‘the gang of four’) joined in late 1987, then formed the Young Greens (for the under 18s) the following year. Kirsten Lindauer was one of these friends (she is currently Prime Minister for Foreign, Defence, and Intelligence Affairs). Her mother, Petra, was a genuinely socialist, and therefore disaffected, member of the Labour Party (at the time she was a local councillor in mid-Sussex where we lived), who then defected to our Greens in the summer of 1988. A year later she became one of our two new MEPs, which gave her – and us – a massive sudden influence in the Party. Ironic, then, that ‘someone’ briefed against the Party on the subject of population reduction and allowed the Establishment media to splash the ‘Eco-Fascists!’ headline on their front pages, which sent us tumbling back down in the polls.
So what we noticed, however, is that the Party had indeed been infiltrated, and the executive was now controlled by those people – namely Jonathon Porritt and the so-called Green 2000 movement (which you also had – but in this world, we weren’t there, were we? Derek Wall was, though, and he was on our side; he later became our first Prime Minister for Economic Affairs in 2003 – what you still call a ‘chancellor’). Thus, Petra and I launched a leadership challenge in early 1991, after I turned 18, and we won resoundingly. We then promptly expelled the Establishment infiltrators from the Party. So it was suddenly no longer another ‘controlled opposition’.
Obviously – none of this happened in your world, and your Green Party is still a controlled opposition, and has thus never really gotten anywhere. It certainly hasn’t taken advantage of that open goal in the political compass.
Which is what we did. We rallied the Party around our Liberal Socialist manifesto, the result being we won 21% of the vote in 1992, some 7.3 million in total, which gave us 35 seats, making us the third largest party. The new government was a Conservative-Liberal Democrat coalition, which lasted four years. By that time, the Green Party had renamed itself the Liberal Socialist Party, and became the official opposition in 1996 (against Tony Blair’s ‘New Labour’). They finally won the election in 2003 which will have to be another story.
In your world, those Establishment infiltrators did their work very well, achieving a total wipeout for the Greens in 1992, winning fewer than 200,000 votes. Having done their job, they then promptly upped and left the Party. And it’s been nowhere ever since. Interestingly, some of the leading lights in the Green 2000 movement, I see, have gone onto some very lucrative and influential Establishment roles. Porritt and Sara Parkin, for example, founded the Forum for the Future. Joining dots and following the money is not a ‘conspiracy theory’ – it’s called investigative journalism.
And I did say, did I not, to hold that thought about the Fabian Society’s interest in depopulation in your heads for future reference?
The point being, that this is what you have missed because of the Establishment’s infiltration of political parties and using that control to prevent genuine socialism, the antidote to their feudalism. This is what you continue to miss because no one in your so-called political class understands any of this, or possesses the political intelligence to not only see that massive open goal, but to seize it and stay there. And that’s why you are going to end up with the far-right.
You might also say this is why the term ‘conspiracy theorist’ has no weight as a smear in my world. For us, real history is full of conspiracies. Some might even see history itself as the product of a conspiracy by minority groups to achieve and maintain social control. Of course they would have to use ‘conspiracy’ to achieve that. And of course they couldn’t be open about it to the masses, because of basic human psychology naturally rejecting subjugation. So, really it’s not so controversial. At least it shouldn’t be.
This section of my diatribe is already lengthening and complexifying intolerably (try saying that after you’ve had a few), so I am going to leave it there for the moment. Otherwise I shall be guilty of bombarding you with far too much information all at once, and your poor suffering brains will not be able to process it all. And that, for my educational purpose, would be self-defeating.
So this seems like a good place to pause until next time. Chances are I’ll probably have to split that up too, knowing me.
Anyhow, next time, I’ll go a bit deeper into the Labour Party’s history of being pure controlled opposition.
See you then.
There will be a link to Part 4 here when it’s ready.
Oh, do you fancy buying Katrina a coffee? Although technically she shouldn’t really be indulging in caffeine-infusions, there are times when she simply can’t help herself…
Re 1983 let's also remember the meeja (largely but not solely Murdoch) attacks on Michael Foot - like the 'donkey jacket' at the Cenotaph. Worked so well they rebooted and ramped up against Corbyn (as I don't need to remind you).
So that's why we ended up with Trump and Ego Musk in charge over here... 🤯
