A Response to the Above Article

A GREAT RESPONSE, that is as equally a MUST read...

Hi Manuel,

You're right on the money again, pun intended. You get
to the heart of the matter in conflating property (control of all
resources and means of production) and race (white supremacy). Your
use of the terms 'white supremacy', 'white tribalism' instantly sets
you apart from other thinkers on the Left. I've noticed that much of
the Western Left avoids Race and White Supremacy like the plague.
Instead, the focus is on capital and the generalized oppression(s) of
oligarchies, power elites and so forth. I'm in my early forties and
I've lived in the West and non-West long enough to know that Race
(White Supremacy) is the quintessence, the prime operative category of
the present global order. The present order is predicated entirely on
White Supremacy as 'ursprung', or foundational essence. Focusing on
Capital alone (as Marxists tend to do) obscures at least as much as it
reveals. It is clear to me that the oppression(s) of capital are
sublated by, and operate within, white supremacy. It is my contention
that any and every specific site of oppression anywhere on the world
stage can be traced, ultimately, to a single root, to wit: white
supremacy. This may seem grossly reductionist (and I suspect that you
are frequently accused of reductionism and naive over-simplification)
but it isn't. It is, quite simply, the heart of the matter.
You are absolutely dead-on when you point out
that Islam, or the Islamic world, is the Tribe's last and final
barrier. Take out them dang Muzzlems and the world is theirs to keep.
The Tribe inherits the earth. Here in India, Islam has had a long
and unsavory history of repeated conquests and gargantuan massacres.
The world Hindukush (see any map of South Asia) means 'slaughter of
the Hindus'. Nevertheless, 'Indian culture' at the present time is a
syncretistic amalgam of Hindu, Buddhist, Islamic, Christian
and Sikh influences. And many Hindus (myself included) understand
(explicitly or inchoately) that Islam is the last barrier between Them
(Massah-Boss-Bwana-Sahib-Effendi) and Us (all the darkies of the Third
World). I believe this is understood instinctively by most in the Poor
South, which explains why most of us cheer lustily when the Iraqi
resistance does its thing or when Hezbollah kicks the living shit out
of the IDF. We Are All Hezbollah read a protest banner when Lebanon
was being bombed. That about sums it up. Needless to say, the quarrel
is not with individual 'white' people. Whiteness is not so much a
matter of pigmentation as it is about attitudes/institutions.
Whiteness is above all a 'structure of attitude and reference' to
quote the mighty Edward Said. It is a congeries or cluster of powerful
institutions crystallized in a solvent of deep-structural attitudes. I
realize I'm preaching to the choir here but I thought I'd say it anyway.
You make another very important point about
'outsourcing' as a species of modern slavery. The point hits rather
close to home here in India where software coolies are now legion.
What we have here is a vast phalanx of clueless, thoroughly
depoliticized functionaries who positively revel in their cooliedom.
And no one represents this phalanx better than Prime Minister Manmohan
Singh. If you think Tony Blair is a whore (possibly the Whore of
Babylon), you should take a look at Singh. It is my considered
opinion that this sorry excuse for a man has a wretched, deviant,
senile and whimpering sort of erotic/racial fixation on Emperor George
W. Bush. Singh's interaction with Bush isn't based on policy. It's
based on a visceral need to perform fellatio, a pathic and
demented yearning for racial/sexual abnegation. Singh is the ultimate
House Negro, a Third World prison-bitch primus, an alpha Gunga Din in
a land of Gunga Dins. Not Bush AND Singh but Bush/Singh, Hegel's
Master/Slave dialectic made flesh. In other words, expect nothing from
the Indian subcontinent (or is it in-continent?). Two centuries ago,
Macaulay of the Raj set out to create a nation of brainwashed and
worshipful Natives who loathed themselves (and despised their own
culture) while worshipping the white man and his works. He
succeeded beyond his wildest dreams and Singh is the living embodiment
of that success. Expect no resistance, therefore, from this neck of
the woods. It's upto the 'Islamists' now and a handful of Fidels and
Chavezes. The war in Iraq (and the imminent attack on Iran) has the
tacit and explicit support of the West as a whole. The Tribe has
decided that it's time to show them uppity niggers who's Boss. Yes, it
IS about peak oil and a terminal grab for the earth's resources. But
it is, above all, a naked, brazen, no-holds-barred assertion of white
supremacy, a last-ditch attempt to turn back the clock to those
halcyon days when the Man reigned supreme with his Bibles and bullets.
The attempt has already failed, however. Iraq and Afghanistan have
together delivered a savage kick to the crotch. Iran will weigh in
with a rather dramatic and bloody decapitation. Not long from now
Bush's epitaph, visible above the ruins of the Empire, will read: I am
Ozymandius King of Kings; look upon my works ye mighty and despair.
But there'll be no time despair. We'll be too busy celebrating.
I wish you a golden retirement and happy times with
your family. That's what it's about in the end. Thanks and bye for now.

Sincerely, Gopal Mukerjee.
