A People’s History of the British Empire

SOMETHING FOR NOTHING

Fascinating and readable book revealing how much like the Third Reich the British Empire was. It is well-written, concise and to the point; making the necessary parallels with the White supremacism of current UK foreign policy in its attempt to regain imperial glory through a so-called Special Relationship with the United States.

All colonial activity is essentially economic; representing the gangsters’ approach to getting rich quick through the use of state force - police & soldiers; using systematic rape, torture, executions, massacres & enslavement/serfdom - while entire foreign economies are plundered. This inevitably led to the nationalist freedom struggles that called into question the long-term economic viability of militarily subduing the world to keep the rich rich, since greater and more expensive military force is then required; reducing or eliminating profits.

Like Howard Zinn’s People’s History of the United States, this fills in the gaps left by White supremacist victor’s history books that whitewash the past to deflect present-day shame and guilt.

Terence… (circa 190-159 BC), Roman dramatist. Chremes, in The Self-Tormentor [Heauton Timorumenos], act 1, scene 1.


Führerprinzip:



One leader, one people, signifies one master and millions of slaves… There is no organ of conciliation or mediation interposed between the leader and the people, nothing in fact but the apparatus - in other words, the party - which is the emanation of the leader and the tool of his will to oppress. In this way the first and sole principle of this degraded form of mysticism is born, the Führerprinzip, which restores idolatry and a debased deity to the world of nihilism.
