Are The Far Left Useful Idiots For The Big Corporations?

 I was recently mulling over the rise of cancel culture. I have seen several times where leftist organisations, whether it be media, special interest groups or political organisations tend to work in concert to promote a narrative. 

The actions against Project Veritas for instance are interesting because the lawsuits that PV are laying out to various organisations should bring to light where the narrative is coming from through disclosure requests. 

But it's a classic case: Journalist works alongside special interest group to create a narrative against PV, special interest group releases report and journalist cites special interest report in article mere hours later.

It's a neat circle. But who actually instigates that narrative? Who instructs the special interest group and then tips off the journalist? Who is actually at the top of the pyramid?

Increasingly the narrative benefits big corporations. 

The vitriol against Brexit was a classic case. Brexiteers were all branded Racists by the opposition, with no evidence. Just based on a narrative created from where? Before the Brexit referendum, Brexiteers were referred to as "Little Englanders". But once the threat against the status quo became real, the pejorative moved up a notch to "racist".

We see it elsewhere to. Against immigration? "Racist".

Against lockdowns? "Vaccine Denier".

Sceptical on Global Warming? "Climate Denier".

Yes, let's take climate change as an example. I'm sure the same corporate interests are pushing that agenda too. Greenpeace, the bastion of environmentalism went corporate years ago. The U.N. is also full of corporatists pushing the corporatist agenda. I do not trust any of them. But it's nothing new as the higher ups in corporations have always taken well-paid senior roles in NGOs.

I can't understand how saving the planet is about consuming more. Throw away your petrol cars and buy electric. Electric cars that you don't fully own because the corporation owns the software that controls it. Want an update, then behave and don't modify your car. Want to modify it to get more power? Then don't expect software support. Just lease the car and don't own it. Just one more step to owning nothing.

It's funny how 20 years ago the left were dead against the corporations, but are now it seems are controlled by them. It's a shame the leftists themselves can't see it. They are now footsoldiers for the one-world corporate governance and the great reset. 

I see very few people on the left enlightened enough to see this and call it out. Mainly because they are drowned out by the acolytes, the worshippers for the corporatist religion. 

Cancel culture is another facet of this, being used to target and de-platform individuals that go against the narrative. 

This subversion is clearly shown in the "occupy" movement and how that was subverted by corporatists afraid of such a movement causing problems for the elites of the world. The Socialist redistribution of wealth demanded by occupy has been subverted so that rather than the elites paying more tax, the burden for tax to finance initiatives like climate change has actually fallen on the poorest in society. 

"Beware what you ask for" is probably a salient phrase for most of the leftists ideology, because it seems that they are being used as a tool to further agendas that favour the elites.

But they are not yet enlightened enough to pick up on the fact that wherever they demand is being used and mis-used to further corporatist interests. More interested in the object than the outcome, once someone gives in they see it as "job done", no matter how skewed the outcome eventually becomes, or how badly it affects those with most to lose. i.e. the poor.

Take fracking as another example. Fracking could provide cheap energy for the poorest in society, but the useful idiots in the anti-fracking movement have been very successful at closing fracking down in the UK. Thereby pushing up the price of gas and thereby the profits for the big energy corporations. 

The Trans lobby has destroyed women's rights in the West. No longer can women win at their own sports, because trans athletes demand equal access to female sports. Without a hint of irony and ignoring reality and science the trans lobby have denied any physical advantage over biological women. 

I could say that most of these protestation are made by the Middle and lower upper classes. The middle-managers gluing themselves to roads for insulate Britain and the upper-class kids playing activist for extinction rebellion.

All of this leftist bollocks has to stop. The people within the various left-leaning lobby and interest groups need to understand the damage they are doing to democracy. They need to understand that inadvertently (for the most part) they are ushering in a new age of corporatist controlled authoritarianism. Otherwise known as Fascism.

The Rise of the Corporates: Fascism in a Velvet Glove.

Very slowly and gently, over the past 5 decades or so, the big corporations have taken over the world. 

This is just not evident from the current debate about Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Google manipulating the debating space, but it's been going on for decades with the big arms corporations, the petrochemical industry, the city traders and the banks.

Once the corporations attain critical mass and a percentage of the country becomes dependent on their industry, then governments become sensitive to their requests. It's a pretty damn obvious statement really: the corporation become big enough to influence a proportion of GDP, the government is going to bend over backwards to avoid losing that revenue.

And this is where the corporate power has risen from. Such that certain corporations can dictate to HMRC how much (if any) tax revenue they will pay to government. With us normal plebs, it's the other way round: HMRC tell you.

Now they have control of public debate in the form of the online tech Giants, the machinations of the big corporates is more public than ever. Yet government seem powerless to enforce some sort of moratorium or enact legislation to protect free speech.

In fact we're seeing a movement of young people cosseted by the corporate cabal that actively protest AGAINST free speech! They might think they are independent thinkers, but when you trace the tenuous lines back to the source of the money that props them up, it ALWAYS links back to the big corporations or their owners. The obvious name seemingly with fingers in dozens of anti-democratic corporatist authoritarian "peoples" movements is of course George Soros. Yep, the guy that almost bankrupted the UK during the ERM fiasco.

If only those independent thinkers would look up the dictionary definition of corporatism..

corporatism

NOUN


  1. the control of a state or organization by large interest groups.
    "fascism was the high point of corporatism."
That last statement hits the nail on the head. The level of control the corporations have over the state, their ability to stand up against the democratically elected government, the influence they have directly over normal people, is tantamount to Fascism. Especially this new wave of authoritarian corporatism, encapsulated by the extinction rebellion and the push to prevent Brexit and gain freedom from the antidemocratic EU.
 
These are indications of the way the corporates want things to go in the future: no borders, no barriers to global trading, one world government, one currency, no dissenters, no free speech, no pointing out the strings being pulled around the world.
 
This is fair warning as to what awaits the young if they keep doing what they are told and don't start to think for themselves.
 
All those cosy benefit you get with Apple products, while surfing the web checking Facebook and posting YouTube videos while drinking your coffee from Starbucks whilst protesting that the government should have more control over what people do and calling for an end to hate speech....
 
All of those are leading you into an authoritarian, fascist world of the future.  Don't blame us oldies for ruining your life. We voted to leave the EU so we could get away from corporate control of politics and the appointed crony commission. We wanted freedom, you want the opposite.
