>>1901461I think both issues are visual, there is clearly a proletarization of the european proles that were upheld by a slight period above the average income ito prevent cold war guerrillas inside it, this proletarization and discomfort comes together with a lot of inmigration (mostly as byproduct of neocolonial and imperialist activities, spearheaded by the current master of europe, America.) with migrants and a dialectic that instead of pointing out said imperialist activities in real time shitting their countries, tries to reframe their presence there as a punishment for, not the neocolonial bitching, but 18th century colonialism endorsed by monarchs and dictators, and not against the bourgeois, but against the nation as a whole, down to the ethnic and racial aspects of it
The popular idpol dialectic is deeply allienating for the european proles, moving them towards the right, and creates hostility and grievance among the migratory ones. That no longer show interest in class struggle but rather on reactionary notions of cultural/ethnic/racial revanchism, hardly if ever pointing and singling out the notion of a bourgeois class if not plainly aspiring to ascend into one as a payback for ethnic grievances.
There is indubitably a sector of the migrant population that does live by a generalized macho thug wannabe culture, rooting and grouping with their own actively, which does not mean that all of them do and that there is not a large proletarized sector of their population which ultimately is in that position because of neo-colonialism and imperialism
But as you mention, these issues steem from a major issue: nativism, ethnic nationalism and so forth.
Which are reactionary notions inherently opposed to marxism as they are transversal to class and do not hold meaning when it comes to the analysis of what relation this people holds with the means of production.
But rather archaic notions of land and identity inheritance through filial relations much more alligned with capitalist thought
The wheel is, nontheless, spoiled as it is, and there should be already someone pointing out this dialectial shift transfering blame from the bourgs towards entire races is insanity
Like, who is the "white bodied people" this retard lecturing kids is? The irish that were starved to death and treated as lower than animals by the english bourgeois for centuries, the very english whose great body were working class peasantry and factory workers doing 15 hours shifts in coal mines and factories sending their 7 years old kids to work as well to meet monthly ends?
Or "Sir Oliver Cromwell" maybe?
Shattering class consciousness by creating genuine ethnic tensions is a old and effective trick that even marx noted, precisely as it is in the case of england for example, how the english and irish proles were put against each other by presenting ones as opressors, the others as victims, and both as unworthy animals
They took pride in antagonizing each other identifying themselves with the classblind tnotion of nation, nativity and ethnicity.
These grievances wore off but the irish and the english are near identical, once the cultural background is forgotten there is no evidence of it whatsoever, how long would it take for similar grievances to wear off if people looks visually distinct and are aware of it?
