Talking about politics and ideology have to involve an exercise of remembering, always. Politics without memory is nothing, or at least nothing good, constructive and really meaningful. Politics and memory is one. In other words, History. The present day situations and ideologies and ideas are a result of...so many things, starting with all what we have at our backs.
First look this photo. Maybe was done in purpose by the Provisionals PR people. Maybe it was just the photographer. Or maybe is just something casual. Anyway, let us use it as they use us and so many things, some of them sacred that are not suppose to be used but respected.
This photo. Seems ML is with her right arm extended, similar to a nazi-fascist-roman salute. Then Michelle seems as she is trying to give a close fist. Is so unnatural to them that is actually funny when they try, to talk only of the Provos, that they can't even do it properly, like with Londongerry and others.
Then we can say, both salutes, a fascist and leftist.
Anyway, lets us remember and develop the post more seriously. Let us look to History. No the recent one and to the not so long ago one.
Both, left and right? a mix of everything (meaning nothing then at the end)? This was call the Third Way. We go now to the pages of History. Do we remember Tony Blair? Yes, that magnificent brit politician and better person (by the way, converted to Catholicism is memory does not fail). Actually a close friend of Gerry and Martin, and for sure more in the Provos up apparatus.
Tony Blair was the leader of...the Third Way. The modern Third Way with that distinctive brit touch.
But what is the meaning of "The Third Way"? Who create it? For the answer of course we have to go back in History, again. And to Italy.
It was Benito Mussolini who, coming from the socialist camp, start to talk and develop the concept of Third Way. And the meaning was apparently clear: not capitalism (one way), no communism (a second way)...yes to the third way. The third way was Fascism. And fascism from there and then develop and mutated into the german fascism (Nazism) or was basically copied in the case of spanish fascists with a few brush strokes by the spaniards .
In other words, the Third Way basically means fascism. Of course nowadays fascism and fascists don't present themselves like in the '30s. But let us don't make mistakes, because they still have many, many of the same basic features: hate for real revolutionaries, hate for honest people with true alternatives, hate criticism, love cheating and lying, love power they can get, and love people with power (their master), they don't have morals, not limits if we are talking of developing their positions and achievements.
They are the best party, one of the best units of the system. And in the case of the Provos, they have one distinct weapon in the arsenal: they play with the myth that they are Republicans.
Is true that people should stop to call the SF. Provos or Provisionals, or at most PSF. Keep calling them Sf from Republican quarters is doing them a favour.
