The arson attacks on Swedish mosques have once again awakened
a new wave of Western governments and Muslim groups coming to the rescue of Islam:
waving their nonsensical go-to card “Islamophobia”. This word is now being used
as weapon to essentially stop all critique of Islam and to prosecute human
rights activists, women’s rights activists, atheists, and socialists as both “racist”,
“hateful” and “intolerant”. This attack
on political activists are taking place given the reality that Islam is itself
the most intolerant ideology and continuously promotes and propagates gross
human rights violations with misogyny and child abuse being at the very heart
of it.
On the other hand, the neo-Nazis are often displayed in the
media as an isolated group that emerges now and again and is outside the ruling
capitalist economic class: they are portrayed as holding views that are the not
concurrent with the ruling class. This is far from the truth; in fact the
neo-Nazi groups are at the very heart of the system and are used by the system
to promote divisions within the working class to suppress wages, benefits and
workers’ solidarity and to give the neo-liberal governments a facelift during
times of heavy austerity cuts.
It is important to note that it is only under capitalist
dictatorship of society that you have both a neo-Nazi group as well as Islamic
apologists marching down the streets with full police protection. Meanwhile any
person or political group that raises its head above the rest to criticize
economic inequality that is embedded within the wage slavery capitalist system
is viciously oppressed and prosecuted.
The working-class has a third alternative to Islamists and
neo-Nazism. The choice is never between supporting a religion and a far right
capitalist group. The economic, social and political interests of the
working-class are not divided between neo-Nazis and Islamists. Both these
choices are minorities in society. They both represent the same political class
that pillages economically and alienates humanity from his/her own self. Both
these groups are tools to suppress the working class and to put a tape over the
mouth of those who struggle for a better world.
Only by joining the struggle for a world without wage
slavery and religion can one truly dignify humanity. This is the struggle of 21st
century conscious person, the working-class, and the 99%: we are the majority.
The economic, political and social interests of the working-class are to do
away with all archaic and oppressive ideologies such as Islam and to dismantle
the economically exploitative machinery of capitalism: this is humanities’ real
alternative.
