See a fray has broken out on this
stuff.
From here lots of pictures about demos and martial
law. But what is the politics of all this stuff. I see glimpses of protectionism
as being the bottom line in all of this. And a bit of green hysteria. So I tend
to think that Hugh is over emphasizing the movement again.
My position from a distance is that the demos
hardly go against the WTO but compliment it in the sense of protectionism and
imperialist rivalry. We are just seeing both ends at the same time and both will
be used in the future to prepare for a new war.
However this does not mean we abstain from all this
stuff. Probably defend the demonstrators against the police state methods being
used while ideologically attacking the protectionist and utopian green crap that
the demonstrations represent.
No time very busy.
The nazis stuff has been all over the TV and
newspapers up here and now today the radio with the Nazi stuff. The school
leadership and commune leadership (Social Democracy) now want to do somewthing
to combat nazism and foremost get the good name of "Robertsfors Commune" out of
the mud it has been dragged into of late.
The stuff here co-inciding with a campaign by four
big bourgeois dailies "expose" of the nazi threat against
democracy.
Today I will be debating the leadership of children
and education on radio on whether they have been caught sleeping on this matter.
At school things are crazy ..TV, newspaper reporters, cops and radio invading
the place.
The kids in both ground schools and highschool are
now mobilizing for a big anti Nazi demo on the 13th of December. I have
contacted all of the unions here in Robertsfors to moboilize and have speakers
at the demo. The school principle is contacting political parties.
So what started out as a small incident here in
school has now gotten very big and everybody is trying to jump onto the anti
Nazi bandwagon naturally hardly to combat nazism but to confuse people. The
commune bureaucrats want to white wash the commune from the nazi stample the
press and tv have put on it. The kids want to help bob and stop the Nazi´s ..
The trade unions probably will jump in to help the Social Democrats in power try
and clean up the image of their commune.
Mean while the cops are running all over the place
trying to get involved with all kinds of information which contradicts
itself.
Even the church wants in and has asked that the
demo end there. I refused saying that this had nothing to do with the church but
school and society as a whole and the demonstration will end at the big
gymnastic hall with speakers from school (the kids) , myself, the trade unions
and commune politicians (probably the leading Social Democrat.)
However it should be pointed out that the last
thing many of these people (except the kids) want to do is fight fascism. In
fact are incapable of fighting fascism. The commune and school leadership are
trying to regain control and iniative which they lost when this all got out into
the public and the death threat against me became public knowledge.
Mean while on the personal level I have taken some
extra security precautions. When I'm home I got both a baseball tree and a
borrowed moose gun nearby.
The Nazi's are also active. At the highschool lots
of Nazi graphitti has been going up on the walls. They hacked the homepage of
the school and put in a lot of garbage there. Including killing all those who
oppose them.
