I do not see myself as a victim of "anti-white racism". That would be absurd. The French far-left has always stood with anti-colonialist movements and with the exploited North-African immigrants who were/are used as a source of cheap labour. I work daily to protect the rights of workers from the Maghreb, to fight "fortress Europe" and create a world without borders and biometric passports. French firms destroy the livelihoods of whole communities in Africa, thus funneling millions towards the production centres in Europe. These workers are despised by French workers and perform the most menial tasks in the French manufacturing and service industries. But I can assure you that encouraging them to adhere to the precepts of Islam will do nothing to better their condition, quite the opposite. It is only a way of side-tracking the struggle against Capitalism into some absurd "Kulturkampf" (Culture War), from which Imams will emerge as the "representatives" of "Muslim interests". This might be the way things are done in the US, but it is pointless and only leads to dividing up the vote between competing political parties in exchange for promises of new Mosques and funding for charitable organizations. Islamism is a veritable poison, that the elite is happy to seize upon to divide the working class and channel the resentment of the underdogs into venues that can be contained. ________________________________________________ Send list submissions to: Marxism@lists.econ.utah.edu Set your options at: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
