OPTIONS
FOR THE MIND
 CLASS ATTITUDES AMONG
WHITE ENGLISH SPEAKERS
Any man or
woman who believes themselves superior to others as a
Class,a caste,however categorised, is not going to be
either socially or politically benign to anyone
outside his/her concepts, even within his/her own social
grouping. That is, I define an elite within a social
group that is disparate but nevertheless well and truly
white. The psychology of the superior one infects all
social contact, and each looks to a Leader, and hope as
individuals,of course, for leadership for themselves.
These people come together as voters only to a leadership
that appears to crystallize their most formidable states
of emotion and no one can hope to interest these people
in ideas. People with prejudices exist, and they are
continuing to exist in large numbers, because the present
state of political science allows it. It is politics we
are confronted with here, not with personal
confrontations in the social scene....
 Do
we have a better knowledge of economics that would aid
people to make better choices? A different idea of
history within which individuals would have the courage
to find themselves? And what community would they
create?What would they then" know" about a
society of equals?
Society is a strata created by people, and you only find
an equal strata composing a complete social group quite
rarely I believe. Disequilibrium depends too on social
needs and their contradictions, but it is not a harbour
for the creative instinct, and, it seems, must never be
mocked exclusively by a group of people in any of the
other social layers
There is no answer to the problem of communication with
the 'upper class' right now, in present circumstances,
except.... to avoid them.!!!.. they will endeavour to
bad-mouth or punish you even then, should you cross their
border lines - their front lines ! What can be done about
these mental mind-sets? In my opinion, leave them alone
to indwell on themselves, and hopefully the system within
which the right-wing are perpetuated will gradually get
weakened or betrayed so that economically, or
politically, their force becomes negligible..whirligig,
the gap between the dog's teeth and his tail !
However, internet presents a special case, and only
gradually can one be sure and accuse another of a totally
rightwing, and therefore to some a useless or even
dangerous mind. It was pointed out, by some historian,
that David Irving should be read if you want to know as
much as there is presently to know about Nazi leaders.
That is because he has to know more than you in order to
refute your 'rightwing' accusations against him, and
describe to us why he has made such a careful
investigation of the roots of war, if we will
listen......
History that has become a mind-set for Israeli settlers,
for instance, not only confers on them their belief in
the necessity of violence as a reaction, but,
unfortunately also, as a demonstration of their
superiority. By having a government that consolidates
their gains they believe their superiority is confirmed
in every aspect of their social life. Change can only be
brought about by that same  Government.
However, as we know, people, who don't have to have any
qualifications to get into government except the positive
'credentials' bestowed by membership of a Political
Party, believe themselves quite superior to others when
they get there. As Tony Blair, who boasted about his
power.....Tony Blair is a lawyer but he does not believe
in international law... or that it be demonstrated by an
international jurisdiction, as the preliminary force of
politics.
No it is the hasty advantage of power to put another
down, a practice that the ambitious Party man has to
exert to qualify as a politician in the first place.The
Great Powers, the Allies, as the larger nations
denominate themselves, believe they are superior to all
other nations, and have allowed that very belief to
dominate the system of law within the United Nations, the
International Court of the Hague etc. etc. This is the
very substance of belief that has led to wars in past
centuries, and, the main belief these nations of power
have insistently held onto, although World War One
terminated with the obvious message -ABANDON THIS SYSTEM.
