Garland Nixon w. Guest Joti Brar (CP-GB/ ML)

"In the West, real power operates in anonymity, without accountability, behind a huge machinery of deception and distraction..."
Garland Nixon and the inestimable Joti Brar, a leader of the Communist Party of Great Britain (CP-GB), clarify in a few minutes, in plain language, who really rules our lives. Forget about the parties and election circus. Or what the President is up to in the White House. That's NOT where power really resides in capitalist society. Instead, a huge machinery of distraction —the media, entertainment (films and sports), phony misleader politicians, etc.—hides the actual ruling class [the billionaires and financial blocs who make all the big decisions behind closed doors, in practical anonymity and without any accountability, acting in fact as a dictatorship), while the charade of bourgeois democracy plays on for the masses, as a form of cynical theater, pitting ordinary citizens against each other. People, says Joti, must understand that a whole constellation of highly concentrated power, a system, not just a leader or a party, is ruling their lives, and, in the case of the empire, much of the world. Engaging in bourgeois politics without properly understanding the game is ultimately self-defeating, no better than tilting at windmills.

Very clear and very instructive. The problem is that the masses do not know their strength. They are part and parcel of the capitalist system, grew up in it, tried to come to terms with it and be harmed by it (look at the often-sad eyes of retired people in Florida). That the system is controlled and supported by a vast class of collaborators is not realized because the owners/rentiers themselves are controlled by it. It is why for example the destruction of the aristocrats in France after 1795 did not result in democracy (not discussing the role of Napoleon).… Read more »
