The
global transfer of capital and migration of people from one part of
the world to the other the opposite sides of the same coin. As
capitalist institutions invested across
the world in pursuit of power and profits, people have left their
homes to improve their economic conditions.
It appears natural for
humanity to roam the planet. in pursuit of a better life. However, as
the world is becoming more difficult to live in, as a result of
changing climatic conditions, as a result of wars being waged and as
political oppression and social control have imposed greater limits
on human freedom, the movement of peoples has only increased and
accelerated, inevitably entering the lands of other workers, who come
to view these newcomers as “invaders” who will steal their jobs
and destroy their religious, undermine their social and political
values; and pollute the “white race”. Through this
distorted lens of nationalism, it is the foreign “others”, and
not capitalism nor the capitalists, who are the “enemies of the
people.”
Today a multitude of immigrants from a multitude of
nations are viewed as the outsider alien “Jews” who are to be
blamed for the decline of the native inhabitants conditions. Thus, it
is all those who are not white, not native born, who do not share the
same language, values, religion, who are the perceived enemies who
must be either refused compassion and cast out.
There is a rise of
nationalism in the “white” nations of the world from America to
Australia, a rise of radical white supremacists who are taking up weapons
to kill migrants.
Many
working people have bought into the lies and myths and have joined in
the feeding frenzy of hatred against fellow-workers of other nations,
unable to recognise the real enemy. They turn against one another,
blinded by a lack of class consciousness which the ruling class so
successfully obscures.
