AUT: Reactionary ideology...........



It seems that many  so-called middle class or
'lower midlle class' political fromations (parties, etc)
have center right or worse  downright reactionary politics
actually in the service of  big money bags , Corps -Banksters, etc..

This is not as contradictory as it seems-- these middle class
pol. forces are groomed by the rich/Corps. ,etc. Without them ,
the big monopolist bosses system would be in deeper crisis,
because it uses the middle layers as a political  abatis,
political  trench artillery to keep away the threat of the working class.
As for the passive voters of rightist politics, this can even include many
workers, and well as petit bourgeois, midddle class types,
This is part of the problem of the ruling ideas  being those
of the ruling class (and its allies).
But don't look at this mechanically - changes are always going on
and esp. in recent years, more so-called professional workers are
being slowly but steadily kicked down into  actaul proletarain status.

Right wing populism has many guises though and as the economy sinks more,
this programme  is going to get a lot uglier - but 'left' populism is not
the answer either
and can only serve as a break -debilitation of rising class militance &-
group
organizing and education from below as
resistance  to the capitalist systems  offensive to shore up its fast
falling rate --
but not mass of profits-- accumulated capital..

Any kind of 'elect a savior' politics in bourgeois financed election
charades--
 left, center, or right is poison to the
workers getting themselves organized and clearing the decks for a good
fight, as it mainly just sows more illusions in capitals 'democracy'.
This is past the period of the WW1 . Capitalism is surely globalized world
economy and its nation state machines have hegemony..  The 'ole Debsian
tactics of parliament
have become outmoded in this epoch.
