Wake up and smell ... the class war

Proletarian writers | 26 August 2026 With the interests of rulers and the ruled-over diverging ever more sharply, the means used to divide our ranks are becoming ever more poisonous. Britain’s national flag represents a history of empire, colonialism and the oppression and exploitation of workers at home and abroad, yet it is used to foster a false sense of shared history and shared interests. Native-born British workers are asked to identify with their ‘own’ ruling class – to celebrate its crimes while vilifying those of their fellow workers who were born elsewhere. In reality, there are two nations in Britain: that of the British exploiters on the one side and that of the British exploited on the other. All workers, no matter where they were born, are today groaning under the burdens of inflation, unemployment, poverty, housing crisis, healthcare crisis and war drive that are the result of continued rule by the British imperialist financiers. And it is they whose interests the Union Jack really represents. Reproduced from the Class Consciousness Project, with thanks. ------------------------------------------------ Subscribe! Donate!
