Re: [Marxism] About these football posts

[Midhurst14@xxxxxxx]

The fact that football crowds or radicals in them use the occasion to
propagandise their cause, does not cancel reaction using such diversions to
maintain their system. It was all done in Roman times. And what a destructive
manouvre it was to protect the system of slavery. That was only attempted by
Spartacus.
The media, such diversions and finally the armed forces of the state are  all
there to protect Capitalism.
Along with football, Christian and Islamic fundamentalism are the current
equivalent of the Ronman games. After the failure of the Wallace forces in the
US and Nasser and Mousadeq in the middle east the masses have turned to
reaction  as they did in Germany in the 20s and 30s in spite of a Communist 
Party 6
million strong. The ruling class were desperate enough to hand power to the
Nazi's. If it had not Europe would have a completely different system now,  ie
Socialism and no WW2 either
The latest example is in Nepal where the mass struggle has forced the
Gyendra forces to retreat
