[Marxism] On Walter L.'s posting re: Madrid bombings

["Nestor Gorojovsky" <nestorgoro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I agree with Walter L. when he expects NOTHING good to come out from 
the bombings.

The "who benefits?" question points to the Spanish government.

And they will make sure they will benefit.

To begin with, there is this filthy management of news, where they 
are blaming the whole thing on ETA even though it is already more 
than obvious that ETA had as much to do with the bombings as my late 
aunt Rosita.

That the Spanish "left" has accompanied this unbelievable act of 
journalistic terrorism shows to which depths can the proper digestion 
of a newly born Empire bring the consciousness of progressives and 
workers in the First World.  Spanish intelligence ("Hello. Am I 
talking to the Intelligence Service?" /  "Huh?"  /  "Yes, I am") will 
keep the anti-ETA flame alive until the elections are over. After 
this takes place, they will open up the lid and discover that the 
attack had an Islamic origin.

Thus, the action may serve the Spanish right more than twice:

(a) may make sure that the PP is the sheriff's horse at the race this 
Sunday (don't know if "el caballo del comisario" has translation to 
English: in horse races in the Pampa region, it was usual that the 
horse owned by the sheriff won every time it appeared on the track)

(b) may justify more encroachment of civil rights, particularly in 
the Basque Country, and last but not least,

(c) may make sure that once the PP keeps solidly in place it will be 
allowed to enforce still more restrictive immigration laws ("How can 
you trust these Morocco immigrants? How can you tell each from 
another?  Don't they look all the same? Can't you see that there are 
TERRORISTS concealed among these dark, filthy, stinking newcomers?")
