http://www.iwca.info/?p=10007 Independent Working Class Association: Working Class Rule in Working Class Areas Wed, 8 Sep 2010 10:31:30 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 http://www.iwca.info/?p=10007#comment-2048 Tensions… « Looking up from underneath… Sun, 15 Mar 2009 11:51:25 +0000 http://www.iwca.info/blog/?p=7#comment-2048 [...] Welcome to the bitter fruits of multiculturalism where a relativist over-sensitivity to ‘respecting’ cultural mores has led to the withering of progressive, universal values and the rise of parochial, reactionary and backward sentiments. Defending progressive values means having the courage to stand up and roundly condemn reactionary social attitudes and practices. Over the last few decades, fewer and fewer people on the left have been willing to do this – instead they have been preaching the dubious value of ‘celebrating’ diversity without applying any critical thought whatsoever as to exactly what it is that is being ‘celebrated.’ The consequence of this is that we now have fundamentalist nutters saying they want sharia law to hold sway in the UK and no-one on what little remains of the left bats an eyelid. It’s only progressive pro-working class groups such as the Independent Working Class Association (IWCA) who have the courage to challenge the doctrine of multiculturalism that has led us to the edge of a potentially explosive and dangerous situation. See this piece from the IWCA – Message to all liberals: ‘you’re in a hole—drop the shovel!’ - http://www.iwca.info/?p=10007 [...] [...] Welcome to the bitter fruits of multiculturalism where a relativist over-sensitivity to ‘respecting’ cultural mores has led to the withering of progressive, universal values and the rise of parochial, reactionary and backward sentiments.
