Upholding the possibilty of change – the need for a new left
In Europe people are being weaned off the idea of change: The EU itself is only part of a Europe-wide problem; ruling elites that are divorced from the people and their lives. They don't represent them they rule them. The notion of left wing politics has been appropriated by the elite. This brings with it an Orwellian reversal of positions, a reversal of language itself. The word 'racism' for example, can be applied to any resistance to the importation of cheap labour (from European countries). A party that is opposed to mass European (white) migration but NOT opposed to immigration from the rest of the world, is also branded as racist by the middle class media. The elite's control over language has made possible the use of mass migration to drive down wages - the subjugation of the working classes of Europe by turning them into migrant labour. This is creating real fear throughout Europe, and is causing a rise of the far right. What is often called the far right is sometimes partly only a representation of working class peoples justified fears. The middle classes have put a taboo on what normal people want to say about their societies. People are now afraid and can see their countries being literally destroyed, like in Sweden. There is no left, there is only the middle class perversion of it, and it is hostile to the working classes. The EU project to establish government without elections is only the constitutional manifestation of this phenomenon. The governing class are trying to wean people off the very idea of change, the expectation to have power over their own lives. They successfully represent this backwards step as progressive politics. The result is despair and real fear and you can see it all across Europe, having its specific manifestation in each country according to circumstances. It is the great paradox of this campaign that this process, which seeks to subjugate the will of the people still further to the requirements of capitalism, is being represented as the ”left wing” path. This is only possible because there is no real left. And this is the case across Europe. There is a pressing need for a new left, one that believes in material equality, within and between countries,(what socialism was meant to be) and believes in democracy and which is driven from below by the working classes. A movement that doesn't seek to impose a middle class view of life upon people instead of those things. The fight against the EU is part, is the beginning, of that struggle. The struggle for democracy had been largely won, but now it looks like we, the people of Europe , have to have it again, even in Britain.

Upholding the possibilty of change – the need for a new left
In Europe people are being weaned off the idea of change: The EU itself is
only part of a Europe-wide problem; ruling elites that are divorced from the
people and their lives. They don't represent them they rule them.
The notion of left wing politics has been appropriated by the elite. This brings
with it an Orwellian reversal of positions, a reversal of language itself.
The word 'racism' for example, can be applied to any resistance to the
importation of cheap labour (from European countries). A party that is opposed
to mass European (white) migration but NOT opposed to immigration from the
rest of the world, is also branded as racist by the middle class media.
The elite's control over language has made possible the use of mass migration
to drive down wages - the subjugation of the working classes of Europe by
