Reply to a Thatcherite.

My issue wi your piece wis it wis too long,
tae cut it down you coulda said
I take the Dead Kennedy's seriously
and played the
"Kill the poor" song.
A love letter to an authoritarian is not a screed I'd send
I'd strike down Lenin,Trotsky,Blair,Stalin,Castro
and Chavez I can't defend.

What you said is very selective
you just need to read a book
once in a while,you don't need to be a detective.
Trickle down economics is a load of shite,
the only trickle is the poor being pissed on
 from a great height.

How convenient you only call it class war when we fight back
I bet you only call it terrorism if it's an IED and not a US drone attack.
 I don't think you grasp the first think about class struggle
you live in a class traitors narrow bubble.
Noticeable was what you left out.
"Profit before people"is your motto,
no doubt.

With your austere victorian values,you should visit Greece
witness what class really is,
as wealthy men's clubs beat you into submission
in the hands of the police.

My politics black like coal,
red like the miners blood in my veins
your silence on death is telling
your refusal to give suffering names.
the human cost
-you haven't got a fuckin clue,
Cameron's extending what she only dreamt to do
and sorry ,does my swearing offend you?
Poverty,inequality,sexism and war(to name a few)-
those offend the whole human race,too!!


Privatization works just great!
G4S,A4E,Lockheed martin-
all companies I'd highly rate.
I mean I don't have much choice,
they quickly are coming to be
the only sector, the very heart of the state.
Who needs water,who needs air
claim ownership of the rain from the sky
a quick history lesson shows how landlords got there-
puncturing the self made man lie
the heart of Laissez Faire.
there is no individual vs society,
only your ego smashing community
and your much vaunted 'unco guid' religious piety
maybe you need some 'eye of the needle' parables
 to shake you from your real world immunity.
You see without relationships you wouldn't be here,
you believe as you do because you were bullied
-too close to the truth?
calm down dear.


Make no mistake,
Maggie was no Feminist
She stood on past generations corpses
you don't champion women's rights
by ruining women's lives
cutting childcare,
reinforcing gender roles
as sexism forces women back into  mothers and wives.
Lessons learnt have taught us all oppressions relate as one
Freedom fighter?!
NAH!
Oppressions she propped them up,
strengthened them
THAT'S WHAT SHE DONE!


You say Thatcher ended Apartheid,
why was Mandela no where to be seen
Maybe cause she branded him a "Terrorist"
and then gushed over the Queen.
Fae the clearances tae Wounded Knee and Pinkertons
Capitalism bleeds us dry
your ideology is why the tides rise
 and we will quickly start to fry.
Your sickness is why,
5,000 Sq Ft in Edinburgh alone
and I still the visibly  homeless catch my  eye.


You flash the cash and say look what I've got
living patriarchy,waving your willy.
whereas I try to humanize the issue, and visit the  graves of
victims of Thatchers pal,Pinochet's chile.
Far fae bein a visionary
Thatcher wis juist the latest creme de creme Reactionary.
You quip on Labour as if they are leftwing at all.
The difference between Libdems,Tories and Labour is microscopically small
I don't play those games and don't heed the election time ritual call.
You're the poster boy of rich white male rule
You're the wobblies favourite joke,
Mr. Block-
The Bosses tool!
I'm not impressed by your bank balances of a grand,
you probably wank over Thatcher
and pictures of Ayn Rand.



Thatcher is dead
but Thatcherism isn't gone
you ask why Britain's broken
That's what's fucking wrong.
Maggie's memory lives on in Monsanto
-Who want to privatie life,
their seeds they claim wherever crops grow.
Where will your privately owned world end?
you say you were once bullied.
I think now,
Money is your only friend.


(Fae Ravencraig tae Loanheid
they're chanting
"Maggie
Maggie
Maggie
Deid
Deid
Deid")



Notes:


Eye of the Needle:- "I tell you the truth, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God. When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and asked, “Who then can be saved?” Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” Matthew 19:23-26

Waving your cash and waving your willy are both similiar defenses of the status quo. Waving your cash or making it seem like cash has huge significance and relates to your worth as a person props up capitalism and it's values. Waving your willy as in making dick size seem a big issue and other stereotypical macho bullshit aids patriarchy since patriarchy enforces rigid male gender roles to keep women in line i.e. it enforces a strict idea of manhood so they enforce a strict idea of womanhood and there must be a strict definition or the whole system collapses,gender binary becomes blurred and patriarchy begins to fail.Hence why non traditional patriarchy, and LGBTQ people by their very existence are (in a limited though not sufficient sense) a threat to patriarchy) this is the idea of intersectionality.  Sexism links into homophobia and Transphobia. Sexism tries to enforces gender roles on men and women and third gender as a means of control.
