I have noticed over the past few years that many TV programmes about immigration or multiculturalism begin with clips showing rabid racists from the 1950s, 60s or 70s before continuing with how wonderful English society has become today from a post modern perspective. The post-modern style of taking an isolated clip from an interview forty years ago as if it were typical of an entire culture is expected but still shocking.
I also find these clips insulting. The abolition of slavery and English enlightened attitudes to humanity pre-date post-Marxism by centuries. William Wilberforce was neither Marxist, post-modern nor post Marxist. It is also the case that in the 1960s English people were possibly less racist than they are today. I, and many of my friends and relatives were alive forty years ago and we were certainly not a bunch of racists.
So why are post-Marxists claiming anti-racism as their peculiar victory? It is because they are anarchists who have only one claim to the "moral high ground" and this claim is the chant of "Racist!" at anyone who holds opposing views.
What they want is internationalism, an unstable world that will collapse financially and politically because it will lack the diversity of nations that is needed for stability and will then be ripe for the imposition of some nasty dystopia. Post modernism is another name for anarchism and anarchism is the mother of totalitarianism.
It seems a giant step from TV programmes that rewrite history to totalitarianism but when I talk to twenty year olds they do actually believe that we have gone from some sort of rabid right wing society before they were born to the sunlit uplands of modern multiculturalism. The post-modern technique of using selective clips of the past to damn a whole history is very successful. It is a small step from a belief in multiculturalism that rejects a national identity to the acceptance of internationalism.
