Particular crypto-Trotskyists and social-democrats
in the united $tates apparently believe that two
combines into one when the u.$. population is
faced with the specter of Christian theocratic
fascism imposed from the top down--despite
evidence to the contrary, such as the Euro-
Amerikan so-called workers'
Minuteman Project. The Minuteman Project
refutes two things: the notion that fascism has
only been initiated from the top down, and the
notion that there is not already a split within
the broad u.$. population with the vast majority
bought off and engorged with super-profits as MIM
has shown.
MIM recognizes that the
international proletariat and some of the u.$.
petty bourgeoisie both support civil rights, the
separation of church and state, and the separation
of powers, in the united $tates, but that does not
mean that these classes have common needs or
points. Rather the imperialist country petty-
bourgeoisie vacillates somewhat towards the
proletariat sometimes while it is in general
alliance with the imperialists.
Even if the principal contradiction were with
fascism, which it is not--the principal
contradiction still being between imperialism and
the oppressed nations--the international
proletariat and the u.$. petty bourgeoisie have
different interests relationally speaking, and it
is disgusting and dangerous opportunism to cover
this up by blurring the difference between the
alignment of actions and the alignment of
interests. The fact that undocumented migrant
proletarians, for instance, and some of the
imperialist-country petty-bourgeois so-called
workers both oppose fascism does not mean that
there is any lasting unity between these two
classes or that their structural motivations for
opposing fascism are the same. Just in ideological
terms, there sometimes appears to be points
of agreement between communism and Liberalism in
the face of a dry run for fascism, but Liberalism
is a thoroughly capitalist ideology.
Revolutionaries in the majority-exploiter
countries must put forth their own, revolutionary
ideology and must always concentrate on the
revolutionary forces in doing this. The united
front that exists targets the oppressor nation and
for this purpose talk of a multinational
proletariat leads only to confusion inconsistent
with the principal contradiction as all Maoists in
the world see it. One result of the confusion
spread by the enemy in the ranks of the proletarian
movement is the type of thing we saw with the Red Lake
shooting, where a confused medley of nationalist
and integrationist ideas flew apart at the cost of the
First Nations.
Of course, the larger
issue is that the various crypto-Trotskyists and
social-democrats, who believe that two combine
into one under the threat of fascism, count u.$.
petty-bourgeois so-called workers as proletarians despite
the petty-bourgeois so-called workers' exploiter
status. Supposedly, there is only one
"multinational proletariat" in the united $tates
despite the internal semi-colonies, Euro-Amerikan
workers' level of parasitism, the principal
contradiction, between imperialism and oppressed
nations, and the large Euro-Amerikan labor
aristocracy's oppressor-nation nationalism.]
