The policy of criminalisation of anti-genocide protestors and activists has (so far) been a rank failure. While those who have been imprisoned remain unjustly behind bars, others remain undeterred.

And increasingly the targeted firms simply do not want to have to justify their activities in open court.

The shameful part of all this is that the activities of brave individuals should have been backed up and amplified by a union-led campaign of mass non-cooperation, which could have stopped the whole bloody genocide campaign in its tracks back in October 2023.

The ‘culture wars’ paradigm encourages workers to identify with members of the ruling class, and even to call on the bourgeois state to suppress or silence workers on the ‘other side’, who are perceived to be an ‘enemy’ and the cause of all society’s problems.

Meanwhile ruling-class ‘team leaders’ are seen as allies and even saviours.

After decades of the slow decimation of their industry, the mood among Britain’s remaining steel workers is one of grim despondence.

Something more than ‘reorganisations’ and cash injections aimed only at buying off the discontent is needed.

If Britain is to retain any shred of its industrial manufacturing base, which consists not only of industrial machinery but also of industrially skilled labourers, the relentless drive towards total destruction must be halted and reversed now.
