Apparently, the "little nigger" knows "something about something." The difference between Bush W. and the Obama election is that Obama won his election and Bush was appointed by the Supreme Court based on excluding millions of peoples vote. Then the voters voted for Bush because they liked him and his white unity program. American voted for Bush because he said I am going to be a military president, give you money and improve your life. The voters - majority, said "ok." Then he did not deliver the bacon. And the soldiers started arriving home with plates in their heads and genetic distortions from "nuclear." Blowback changes America. Killing a 10,000,000 means nothing to America and the American people if there is no blow back or impact on the murderers. Sure, a handful of us care but this is nothing. What Obama knows and is doing in real time is realigning American policy domestically and foreign. The Obama coalition has momentarily pushed the domestic historic fascist/white chauvinist current to the fringe of American politics. Interestingly, the majority of humanity seems to have an interest in shattering the leading edge of this deadly ideology. See, Bush W. called for a Holy War; a war of Christians - white peoples, against everyone on earth, who is not white or Christian. White unity calls forth its counterpart in the former colonies: national ideological unity against the historically oppressing peoples, who are white. America’s first black President makes a new national dialogue possible. Or rather, the spontaneous push for a new and different national dialogue called forth our first black president. This is not a coincidence. This first black President is a historic crossing of the color line. Perhaps, stating this backwards is more palatable. Obama’s candidacy and victory is the social response to something else - economic, social decay and 40 years of desegregation. No one was fooled into supporting Obama candidacy. Were the voters fooled into supporting Bush W? No. Was Bush first presidential bid contested? Yes. Bush W. as president meant white unity won the day and everyone in America knows that. Yet, eight years later we somehow end up with a "little nigger that knows nothing about nothing" and is capable of fooling people into voting for him. Obama’s articulated vision and words were presented in contrast with the white chauvinist vision and oratory of John McCain’s "Country First" candidacy. "Country First" means the same as "Law and Order" - lets step on the black people, take their voting rights, increase police murders, exclude them from the social life of the country, kill Arabs and strengthen white unity. The voters rejected this ideology and voted their pocket books and wallets. Senator Clinton phony populist appeal to "real hard working Americans" was more of the same thing. The American working class, as a class, is evolving to a point where "you cannot talk to us in the same any old way." The idea that Obama represents a black face on American imperialism, rather than profound changes that have taken place in American society and the structure of capital is more of the same stale white chauvinism, turned inside out. 110 years of non-stooping fighting and dying has forced the issue. A significant amount of blacks and whites, going back to John Brown and reverend Elijah Lovejoy, have fought and died over equality of blacks, as an issue of class. Obama being elected means something in the thinking of the American people has changed. A McCain victory - "Country First" would strengthen the fascist political axis of American politics and government. McCain would have extended what is called "The Southern take over of American politics." The social and ideological base of the Republican Party, expressed, as the Bush W. alignment, remains the core states of the old Southern Confederacy. The Democratic Party of 2008 was not the Democratic Party of the pre-Civil War years. In both periods the Democratic Party expressed a different alignment and correlation of class forces. In Clinton and Edwards’s case, had they won, any discussion of socialism would have been as a black issue or something needed for the blacks, with the whites needing greater economic opportunity. A black man at the helm allows white America to raise a different set of questions in the ideological sphere. That is why Obama was elected in the first place. In not for his impulse the country would have elected McCain. One must remember that the swing vote cementing Obama’s victory, was not the blacks but a huge section of traditionally conservative Democrats and liberal Republican voters, personalities in the autoworkers of the Mid West. This section swung to Obama has in the past spontaneously swung to the most reactionary and chauvinistic in American politics on the basis of the North-South political axis. These are the workers historically supporting George Wallace "Independent" run for president. Michigan was a huge economic, social and political base of support for Wallace. These workers will swing again. One must determine whose orbit these workers are to enter. When and if these workers are swung to the fascist pole we are taking about another 50 years of reaction. On the scale of history 50 years is nothing. For me and my children and my grandchildren, 50 years is important. For the voting section of our working class the election of Obama meant, "we need someone to help us in our economic plight. Someone different from the historic rabid "race haters" and the Clinton NAFT plan program that have destroyed our economic life and communities. OK black guy, you speak pretty good words let see what happens. Can you get me a job because McCain and Clinton are full of crap." In layperson terms McCain said we have to tighten up our belts; expand the military without the waste, and keep the natives of the world in place. Then we expand democracy ("wink") and wait for the free market to drive the riff raft into poverty and welfare, but most of you good white people are going to make it. Every good white working class family in the Midwest had a dinner table discussion to determine whether or not they still fit into the "white bread category" and the conclusion was "I do not think we make it this time." Obama said there is a proper role of government in helping the economically distressed sections of the population. The white proletarians of the mid west said, "Look, I do not champion welfare but I think I am going to need welfare the way things going." This sentiment along was not enough to defeat McCain. McCain was defeated during a rally where an older women said "A’int Obama a Arab or terrorist or something." These were not her exact words but America was repulsed and said, "OK, I have to send by son and daughter to war, have no job, then get called to beat down niggers at home. Then I am called to fight the ni*ger in the Middle East - the ones with sheets on their head, and after military service hope to get a job in a jail or something." "Or I can work at 7-11 . . . On the midnight shift to get the shift premium. And still not be able to pay the house note and car note." Remembering the progression of events and the subtle ideological shifts underway is important. When the housing market began further collapse, there was a concerted move to make this a black issue in the ideological sphere. Predatory lending to blacks - (a bunch of little niggers that will not cut their grass), and browns - (a bunch of no speaking English Mexicans who cut their grass everyday but have no money), was said to be problem, rather than historic overproduction of capital, thirty years of falling wages and the absolute failure of free market economy. McCain in office would mean that blacks and browns would be portrayed as the national reason for the economic meltdown and consolidated the political forces pushing to exclude blacks from the electoral arena, especially in Southern states. In the Obama era, this old white ideology is forced to the fringe and not the top agenda of national media. America has changed. And then changed again when no one was looking. This also means one can speak of class, money and the role of government. Welfare is emerging as a national issue but could not get a hearing in this country because it has been presented as a black issue since Reagan. As long as poverty is presented as a black thing in the national ideological sphere, one can forget "the class struggle." The era of Obama inaugurates the era of the class struggle. Obama has to put forth a non-racial view from the national Presidential podium. That is what is different. Further, much of the national efforts to strip blacks of their voting rights were rebuffed by the Obama coalition/campaign. This issue of voting might no be equally important to all sections of communism but it is very important to some of us and this need not be discounted. It is better to be able to vote in capitalist America than not to be able to vote. It is good to vote in every election to reaffirm that one can still vote. Those who advocate boycott of all bourgeois candidates can find fertile soil amongst the majority that do not vote. WL.
