Polls: Amerikans no "freedom"-loving people by MC5 September 29, 2001 While President George Bush is yapping about this "free country" and going so far as to call his military operation "Enduring Freedom," his Justice Department led by Ashcroft and his Transportation Department led by Mineta is preparing even less freedom than there is now, with more restrictive airport security, more searches and more surveillance. Yet while these government leaders are seeing to a decrease in freedom daily rather than admit to the failure of their government to create peace and justice, it is the labor aristocracy of the United $tates that wants even bolder fascism. Fully 31% of the public wants to round up Arab- Americans within U.$. borders and put them in camps right now to prevent terrorism.(1) Of course the democracy-obsessed simple-minded will say that 65% opposed the idea, but they do not consider how even 31% reflects on the conditions of life in the United $tates for oppressed nationalities. For years the liberal media and academic establishment fed us with lies about how Amerikans had changed from their formerly racist ways. They had to lie to stave off more radical change and say that reform was possible since the days of Jim Crow. Now when the bombs explode, we see the true Amerikkkan come out--an Amerikkkan who commits racist crimes in the thousands. This persyn is in some ways more reprehensible than Jim Crow racists. Racists of the old segregationist South were open racists who told oppressed nationality people where to go and where not to go. Today's racist loudly proclaims a "free country" while stabbing oppressed nationalities in the back. 31% want to round up people of "Arab-American" ethnicity without proving a thing about them. MIM can say for sure from experience that that means there is another 31% who would round them up if given the slightest shred of evidence or accusation. There is also a 31% that would join if President Bush would ask them to support him. So far the imperialists have not asked the Amerikan public to support a round-up of all "Arab- Americans" yet. It is the labor aristocracy taking the reactionary lead on this question. Freedom cannot exist in a society where 31% of the public is ready to round up all "Arab-Americans" for a crime committed by others. The conditions for freedom simply do not exist yet. This 31% of typical labor aristocracy views is sitting on juries across the countries. We can be quite sure that when this 31% sees a horrible crime committed, it will reach for any accusation available and support the cops and prosecutors making it. After all, they are all ready to round up Arabs without even an accusation first! In some localities, this type of persyn is not 31% but a majority. In such conditions, who believes that any oppressed nationality persyn gets a fair trial: no one sane does. An oppressed nationality persyn starts with more than 31% of the jury against him or her. Let's remember that the oppressed nationality persyn going to trial is already accused of something, and that is more than what we are talking about here with the round-up of definitely innocent Arab-Americans who have not been specifically accused of anything. How many cops, lawyers and judges are of this mindset--probably more than 31%. There is no way oppressed nationality people can be getting a fair shake from such people. That is why MIM prefers to acknowledge reality and have separate nations for the oppressed nationalities, after a plebiscite amongst those peoples. The white people are not ready for integration yet. For that matter, some people of color have bought into imperialist thinking too. Their material conditions would have to change first before they would be ready for integration. Specifically, MIM favors an international redistribution of U.$. assets and international wage standards so that people are more economically similar and harmonious internationally. 59% of the public supports indefinite detention without bail of people merely suspected of terrorism.(1) Another poll revealed much the same things about the lack of possibilities for freedom in the United $tates: "Large majorities supported additional police power to combat terrorists with wiretapping, voice mail and e-mail surveillance, the admission of foreign intelligence evidence that normally would not be allowed in court, the sharing of grand jury information with intelligence services and allowing the government to indefinitely detain foreigners suspected of terrorist ties. Support ranged from 69 percent to 95 percent." Libertarians and other Liberals--you have been lying to yourselves. The United $tates is no "free" country. You should have known from the highest imprisonment rates in the world. Now you should know by looking at people rampaging in the streets against the oppressed nationalities. When racism and national chauvinism is so widespread, the conditions for freedom do not exist. When people profit from racism and national oppression, it is sure that racism and national chauvinism will exist. There can be no freedom in such conditions. Revolution is necessary to create the pre-conditions for freedom. Only under communism is there a meaningful possibility of individual freedom. Notes: 1.
