Solidarity – a much abused and cynical representation

THE WORD engraved on the heart of the European Union that is meant to sum it all up, is one taken from the socialist lexicon and used by liberals and conservatives alike throughout the EU. Solidarity trips from the tongues of Brussels politicians of every persuasion, apart from Ukip and other Right-wing parties within the EU parliament. Solidarity to such people is the very essence of the embryonic federal system now under construction within Europe. 

                

                Solidarity is the fusion by which Brussels seeks to achieve its great ideological end for the continent. The trouble is it is only the EU political elites and their winged monkey's (the bureaucrats) who take this term seriously. The people of Europe are not as infused as those who govern them in Brussels are with such sentimental appeals to solidarity.

              

                A case in question is the unfolding catastrophe on Europe's borders, where wave upon wave of Syrian, Iraqi and some Pakistani migrants are kicking in the doors to gain entry to northern Europe. But before they can reach their destiny they have to negotiate their way through Eastern Europe from Turkey. But rightly so, the Hungarians have closed their borders to the flood, and did so using EU law which state that refugees must claim sanctuary in the first country they arrive in; and Turkey drew the short straw.  

                

                Having had no success with Hungary the great flood of migrants/refugees is beginning to make tributaries by creating alternative routes through Serbia and Croatia. Hungary did what it had been expected to do under EU law. It was the EU not Hungary that imposed these restrictions on refugees.

                Apparently solidarity has broken down between Germany and Eastern Europe. Why should Hungary absorb such multitudes? It was Merkle who invited them in such numbers by her announcement that this year she expected 800,000 migrants/refugees to enter Germany. Like King Canute Angela Merkle, is left trying to stem the tide. Her siren voice of welcome was transmitted via cell phone by those already on the brink of a new life given them by Angela Merkle to their families  left behind; thus potentially starting a new wave from the refugee camps in Lebanon, Jordan and elsewhere.

                

                Solidarity breaks down when the nation state (which thankfully still exists in Europe) is put under such a pressure that it threatens the quality of life in terms of health and education of its own indigenous population.  Those elites who espouse such solidarity should be willing to absorb these people into their own homes and pay for their education and medical treatment instead of the European taxpayers: instead of making the indigenous populations of their countries pay, in silence, for these sacrifices.

                

                 The modern nation state is the equivalent of the medieval castle protected by a moat: in the UK's case it is the North Sea. National sovereignty is the hallmark stamped by history on our nation state. It is now under threat by the EU. We could have accepted, yes, even the vast numbers of Syrians that Angela Merkle has invited into her country if we so whished, had it not been for Schengen. Schengen has increased our island population by over five million people in the past decade because of Europe's open border policy.

                

                 The cry of solidarity from those vacuous unelected commissioners has little resonance among the indigenous peoples of Europe. By completely discarding human nature, these romantic and naive calls for solidarity may raise their own idealism to levels that make those who are its beneficiaries, feel transported into utopia. But they will not be made welcome for very long by the indigenous populations among whom they are been invited to settle by disconnected politicians and bureaucrats throughout Europe. Politicians like Angela Merkle who took it upon herself to invite Uncle Tom Cobly and all from throughout the Middle East is today regretting the invitation; now realising what such an invitation can cause to the social harmony of German society: today's (Saturday) Daily Mail quotes EU figures that tell us only one in five of those entering Europe between April and June of this year, were Syrian.

                

                Solidarity as a concept has been disgraced over and over again throughout the 20^th century when it was the calling-card of the clench fist Marxists, and was hideously abused by the whole panoply of small and insignificant Leftist Marxist parties who were permanently at each other's throats (vanity among, so it seems, the Left conquers all).

                

                Solidarity when orchestrated by political ideology or in support of the Great European Enterprise becomes very quickly a devalued currency, and in such a context it becomes just another word that invites public cynicism.

                

                What is happening now in Europe among its various indigenous peoples; who have had 'to suck it up' by which I refer to those ill-conceived invitations by Europe's political classes to open their Schengen borders… is resentment. Schengen poured millions of EU people into (in particular, Northern Europe): a part of Europe which had already been burdened with 10 million Muslims; which in part comprised outcasts from the various empires that Europe competed with each other to form in the great carve-up of what was once referred to as the Third World.

                

                Now we have a new influx of refugees/migrants adding further to the already ill-tempered, and up to now ill-concealed resentment of Europe's indigenous people. Out of such resentment National Socialism is born. Our European leaders treat the indigenous peoples of Europe as submissive and irrelevant to the wisdom they regard themselves as having the monopoly of; the European liberal political class rules OK?

                

                This is where the true solidarity is practiced, not among the ordinary indigenous peoples of the continent, which the EU seeks to bring together into a mulch of European Federalism; but among the liberal bourgeoisie, whose lives remain unchallenged by such a mass population increase in under decade. Indeed, to the European liberal bourgeoisie, such unregulated additions to their respective population provide for them with a possible a cheap source of labour when it comes to hiring servants or labourers. Servants which under any other circumstance; they would not have been wealthy enough to provide.

                

                Solidarity needs a breathing space to return to its original intent.
