Karl Marx was a snob.
He’d describe the proletariat as a “sack of
potatoes”.
He
himself lived in the West End, off the proceeds of gambling on the London stock
market.
Marx was funded by Friedrich Engels, his
foxhunting friend,
Whose family firm in Manchester made money
from child labour.
… His enormous bullish head presides over Highgate
Cemetery.
Some come to worship. Others recall Stalin
and his thirty million dead.
“When we have hanged the last capitalist”,
Marx said,
“Then we will hang the salesman who sold us
the rope.”
Thirty million died in Stalin’s gulags.
They weren’t all evil rope salesmen
… Mistrusting top-heavy leaders and
self-important vanguards,
[People] are doing it themselves…

| Some food snobbery - taken from EDL News. |
The level of snobbery from EDL News, or from Gary Hastings/Alan
Moon, is incredible. Nonetheless, EDL
News will rationalise or justify it by saying it’s only aimed at EDL
members. But that’s a lie. It’s aimed at all the working class… except the
Leftists ones of course.
If you read all the following carefully (see below, after the dotted line),
you will see EDL News slipping from general
criticisms of the EDL to very general remarks about the working class. This snobbery
is not just something the Right has noted. Left-wingers have noted it too. They
have noted the intense levels of snobbery of many contemporary Leftists. Not
against the EDL – against the working class generally. Many commentators, from
Nick Cohen to Brendan O’Neill, have noted this snobbery and often the subject
of the EDL or the “far right” isn’t even mentioned. For example, much has been
made of left-wing “comedy snobs” such as Russell Howard and Stewart Lee. One of
Russell Howard’s “political” jokes about Tommy Robinson featured his accent –
his Luton accent. Actually, it didn’t feature
his accent. Robinson’s accent was the
joke. That was all it amounted to. Most
people who have an accent like Tommy Robinson’s won’t be EDL. So, in actual
fact, Russell Howard’s joke was at the expense of all people with a Luton
accent; not at the expense of Tommy Robinson or the EDL. A similar thing
happened when George Galloway picked up on Tommy Robinson’s use of the word “bird”.
He said, or implied, that Robinson was “sexist” for using it (“You brought a
parrot?”). That’s strange. I would say that there are millions of British non-EDL
who use and have used that word. (Talk of “sexism” is strange coming from a man
who believes in polygamy, Islamic misogyny, someone who plays down rape and who
never speaks out against Islamic female genital mutilation or Muslim grooming. Still,
he got his priorities right. Using the word “bird” is far worse than all that.) (See super-snob Dianne Abbot.)
Why the surprise? Many middle class people
have always been snobby about the working class. Indeed, from Marx and his “troglodytes”
or “sack of potatoes”, to the Webbs/Fabians and their eugenicist dreams about “improvingthe working class”, there has always been an incredible snobbery from the
Leftist middle class. After all, even the middle-class revolutionaries wanted
to lead and above all change the
working class (into revolutionaries or people without "false consciousness");
they mustn’t have liked them as they were.
Then Muslims came on the scene. That meant
that most Trots, not so much the case with Communists, could jettison the
working class and latch onto Muslims instead; just as they had previously done
with blacks and gays. And because the Left is now parasitic on Muslims, not
gays, blacks, the working class or anyone else, there is no reason to hold back
on the latent snobbery towards the working class any more. Enter Gary Hastings/Alan
Moon and his relentless sarcastic snobbery which can literally be found in
every sentence - never mind every piece – he posts. This man is a snob who
doesn’t think he’s a snob simply because he’s a Leftist. He thinks that’s all
it takes not to be a snob; as well as not to be a racist or (red) fascist. (This
is equivalent to thinking that by putting on a cassock or growing a long beard you
utomatically become holy or pious.)
These people constantly attack working
class people for bad spelling and grammar. For drinking lager. For being
football supporters. For being “knuckle-draggers”. For having the wrong kind of
tattoos. The sort of thing that if it happened in the 1970s or the 1980s, and had
it come from the (right-wing) middle class, would have been classed as outright
snobbery by Leftists such as these. But because Leftists are indulging in it today, people
don’t see it as snobbery.
Don’t be fooled. These people have applied
the same snobbery towards very many working class who aren’t EDL. Not just BNP
either; but also supporters of the Conservative Party. They are
“reactionaries”, “xenophobes”, “bigots”, people who have bad musical tastes, a
poor fashion sense, etc. Basically, whether they are Christians, Conservatives,
UKIP members, "Daily Mail readers", etc.,
the snobbery of the Left will manifest itself. They mainly target the EDL
because they know that not many people will note or react to that snobbery
precisely because it’s the EDL. The problem is that this middle-class Leftist
snobbery was well entrenched long before 2009, when the EDL was formed. Of
course at that time Gary Hastings-types would have had other working-class
targets.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| From EDL News - the word "butthurt" seems to be used by all Gary Hastings' acolytes. |
The following includes extracts from a post from EDL News on the EDL. It provides a set of
definitions of all things EDL… except that it often strays from the EDL and targets
the entire working class (minus left-wing). This is something the
middle class has always done – especially the Leftist middle class.
"Patriots
come in all shapes and sizes but 95% of them are fat, bald and invariably
drunk. Patriots defend England whilst in the pub."
Here we have Leftist prejudice, racism
against whites, snobbery, fatism and ageism. Is this really aimed exclusively
against EDL supports? How can it be? How can there be an essential connection
between being EDL and being bald? There are thousands of non-EDL who fit this description;
and they are who Gary Hastings has in mind too. And if patriots didn’t defend
England in a pub, he would still hate them. You will find that however and
wherever patriots defend English, whoever they are, even if they look like Gary
Hastings (well, maybe not), he would still hate them. Indeed he would hate them
even more. That’s why he also hates UKIP and its members, “Daily Mail readers”, “Tories”, and all other members of the working
class who aren’t Leftists. As well as all middle class people who aren’t
Leftists.
"Bus
Wanker …. Can also refer to any EDL
member whose preferred transport method to demos is by coach or minibus."
This seems to be snobbery aimed at many EDL
for not having cars. Such poor people! They cannot even afford to go to posh
restaurants to eat exotic Turkish food.
"EDL
Angel - An oxymoron for morons. The foul mouthed female equivalent of their
Stella swigging male counterparts. … An 'angel' has probably had sexual
encounters with six or more male EDL members with some topping twenty. …"
Some classic sexism here. But that’s OK, it’s
only aimed at the white working class. So class prejudice and sexism; but they’re
only right wing… except that Gary Hastings would apply this to many others too….
So every EDL angel is a tart and “foul mouthed”. Really? Isn’t that a
generalisation and a stereotype? Or are certain stereotypes OK?... There also a
strong sense of male judgement as to “uncontrolled female sexuality"; the sort
of thing these Leftist argue against except when they in indulge in it against
the white working class.
"Flash
demo - A demo where a load of bored, bald, middle aged drunks turn up at a
mosque and kick off and shout abuse.
Flash demos can vary in size and depend if the football is on or not.
One flash demo involved the storming of a KFC board meeting and then not
knowing what to say to those gathered before having a rant about bacon."
More ageist and baldist prejudice from Gary
Hastings/Alan Moon. What possible relevance could baldness and being
middle-aged have?... unless he only notes these disabilities when the EDL has
them.
"Casuals
- Badly dressed Football hooligan division of the EDL. You can spot a casual as
they do not look like they have bought any clothes since the 1980's…"
Here the comment is clearly not about the
EDL alone. Not even about the “far right”. The snobbery here has been widened
to include another group – Casuals (many
Casuals are apolitical). There is also a dig at people’s poverty; as in Casuals
“look like they have bought any cloths since the 1980s”. I thought the Lefts
were disgusted by poverty. Or is it the Gary Hastings also includes a bad fashion-sense as one of his hates? Is that really an EDL issue, I wonder, or just a,
issue of EDL News and its general snobbery?
"Traitor
- … Can also be spelt ‘traytors’."
More spelling snobbery from Gary Hastings/Alan
Moon. This is a favourite theme of middle-class Leftists when they are in
conversation with the lower orders on Facebook and elsewhere. (Gary Hastings/Alan
Moon doesn’t seem to realise that “non patriots” should actually be
“non-patriots”.)
"Incrimidate
- The act of putting the frighteners on yourself in the hope that you'll do
something to get yourself into trouble."
More snobbery. Does EDL News believe that only EDL supporters can’t spell? Apart from the
fact that there are many spelling and grammatical mistakes both in these
entries and also in other posts by EDL
News, isn’t it the case that many
non-EDL can’t spell? Or is it only working class supporters of the EDL he is on
about? I doubt it. However, by making his dislike of bad spelling, or even dyslexia,
seem to be focused on the EDL, he can hide his snobbery. And these people used
to support – patronise – the working class. Whatever happened to the Left?
"Boozer
- Can refer to a pub or an EDL Angel"
More sexism from Gary Hastings. But that’s
OK because the women are EDL. It’s as if there are no middle class “boozers”.
And definitely no Leftist ones. Nonetheless,
it’s not the boozing that offends Gary Hastings; it’s the fact that the boozers
are white working class.
"Roonied
- When a bald middle aged patriot wakes up with a hangover in bed with a woman
older than his mother."
Some more strong Leftist sexism here.
First, is it true that every EDL Angel sleeps with many EDL? Secondly, there
seems to be a male distaste for females misbehaving themselves sexually;
as many Leftist females do at university, for example. There is also ageism in
this. Hasn’t EDL News also said that
the EDL is full of "young hooligan Casuals”?
"MAC
- Muslims Against Crusades… MAC invariably outwit patriots as demonstrated at
the 9/11 memorial service when the EDL came out with all the bad press the next
day."
Hastings can’t bring himself to be equally snobby
and sarcastic about MAC. But that’s because MAC is mainly made up of brown
people and Gary Hastings/Alan Moon is a racist.
"Breiviking
- … outrageous stories about ‘Pakis’ from the Daily Mail …"
Here’s another example that EDL members are
not the only target of EDL News
snobbery: working class “Daily Mail
readers” are too. As well as the Daily
Mail itself, which is a compulsory target of Leftist snobbery and comedy.
"A
non racist multicultural organisation - An organisation of patriots which
include a token black guy, a token 'paki' who is really sikh and a Jewish
division which is run by two mentally unstable non Jewish foreigners who
support terrorism."
There have been many black supporters of
the EDL. However, if backs are right wing, then they are Uncle Toms according to these Leftists
because in their white middle-class racism blacks must be either rappers or “race
activists” (Muslims must be radical Islamists). If they aren’t, then white
middle-class Leftists class them as “Uncle Toms” – even if they don’t use that
term. The white middle-class Left have classed numerous blacks as being Uncle
Toms, and today they do the same with Muslims who aren’t radical. Yet these
very same people are always talking about Muslim “moderates”. When they are
moderate, many Leftists think them Uncle Toms.
"Infidels
- Disillusioned fat, balding, drunk patriots who think the EDL are too PC for
them and want to belong to a load of fat middle aged, bald, drunk blokes who
are more openly racist and fascist."
There is no mention of the EDL here. All infidels
are fat, balding, drunk patriots? Surely if they never became EDL, they would
have still been balding. This sounds like a racial stereotype to me.
