Racism and the Anti-tax, Anti-government Cult of the Last Thirty Years: The Bigotry Behind the Reagan Doctrine

Submitted by BuzzFlash on Mon, 08/09/2010 - 5:35pm.

JAY DIAMOND ON BUZZFLASH

The momentum, the mass, and the driving force behind the anti-tax, anti-government cult of the last thirty years, has been RACISM.

In the alleged minds of rightist, low-brow talk radio, which represents the thrust and the avante garde of movement rightwingism, any money "confiscated" from hard working (White) people is simply picked from their pockets and immediately deposited into the pockets of the "undeserving" poor (Blacks)!

That is how taxation, and therefore government is understood by tens of millions of Americans, owing to the relentless invocation of "redistribution of income".

Rightwing cadres understand "redistribution" as a racial tax, and a racial transfer, from whites to blacks.

In reality, however, what happens in taxation is the transfer of private assets to a public purpose, and middle class whites are a public purpose, but many of them owing to innate racism and/or the racism stoked by the low-brow talk radio cadres, are ignorant of the real transfer (to them!), explicit in taxation.

I truly believe that if America were composed wholly of white people, taxation would not be the consuming and destructive issue that it is, absent the convenience of  blacks to scapegoat.

The right, and the money interest in the United States, understands perfectly well how they can manipulate the white voter to hurt him/herself on the basis of their misrepresentation of what happens when we are taxed.

Hence, your "Welfare Queen" as a compelling avatar of taxes as a transfer of always hard-earned White money to malingerers ("Blacks," in the taxonomy of talk radio).

In addition the schizoid deployment of religion is noteworthy in any discussion of taxation and the public versus the private interest, or for that matter, the mere existence of such a thing as a public purpose.

Please note the blatant irony that so many Americans who purport to love Jesus are also the most ardent and stubborn devotees of Ayn Rand, the dedicated atheist, who averred that belief in Jesus or any God was inimical to the unregulated capitalism that she avowed.

Ayn Rand, the beacon of unencumbered capitalism/feudalism and the hero of America's rightwing cadres, did not believe in God, and what is more, she relentlessly preached that true capitalism could not exist in a God oriented society, believing, as she did, that religions were based on altruism, a concept for which she had unbridled contempt.

So how is it that so many religious zealots in the USA preach both Ayn Rand, and the God she detested because she considered religion as altruistic and therefore in complete opposition to capitalism ?

According to Rand, whom rightists revere, capitalism is the opposite of religion, and capitalism can therefore not coexist with religion.

The rightist hero Rand said this, I didn't !

American is dying of racism and confusion, based on ignorance and laziness. But not the laziness of those who will not work. The laziness of those who will not think.

Not just "Racism"==

Submitted by Cole... on Tue, 08/10/2010 - 1:01pm.

---there is also the "My kind of White".

Sure the 'W' word is to be over the 'B' word.  And sure Ann despised religeon but she also despised undeserving small word 'w' folks who were only slightly more deserving of the 'B'.

Capitalism was only the prop which she used, contempt of religeon was obviously something Ann used to  seperate the folks  she despised---religeon was open to all and Ann would not have that. Her followers may think and hope they are included in the 'Capitalist' dream. They are not. The arousal from the Capitalist Dream will be a rude awakening for them.

The Answer to Why I Am Not and Will Not Be on the Radio

Submitted by jaydiamond on Tue, 08/10/2010 - 9:50am.

And this applies to more than one other person I know in the radio business.

The answer is that if one is effective in not only refuting the rightwing crap talk, but in ridiculing it effectively, they will Gary Webb you in the industry.

The Hannity's etc., do not like being ridiculed.

The reason they hate being effectively, and truthfully ridiculed is that they know the impact of their own ridicule on the likes of John Kerry, Jimmy Carter, and Michael Dukakis, and countless others in local races who were ridiculed and bullshitted into losing.

And they will Gary Webb any person who is able to get the public to see their cult and their "spokespeople" as the farces they are.

And thanks for your benevolent appraisal of what I did on the radio.

I appreciate it greatly.

All these people have built careers for themselves' articulating the stark difference between the right-wing authoritarian, corporatist, fascistic, christianist, world view, and the progressive one.

Almost as bad

Submitted by Bob16 on Tue, 08/10/2010 - 7:44am.

As bad as the problem of the somnambulist american public is there is another problem that has a direct impact on it.

 

Why has the brilliant Jay Diamond not been on the air for so long when  radio is filled with so  many "no talent and no brains" (to use one of his phrases) hacks.

 

We suffer from a dearth of quality information and analysis such as is presented here.
