THE DEATH PENALTY FOR BREIVIK (BUT AT WHOSE HANDS?) – NO PLATFORM FOR FASCISTS!

Interesting editorial from the Workers Revolutionary Party demanding the death penalty for Anders Breivik.


"Breivik should have been executed on the isle where he created a mountain of corpses from the socialist youth, and he must now face the death penalty so that fascism is not seen as something to argue with or debate with, or decide whether it is insane or not, but as the vilest product of the capitalist crisis, as it was in the 1930’s, and that it must be destroyed, so that capitalism itself can be destroyed and society move forward from the ‘law of the jungle’ and ‘dog eat dog’ to a socialist society."


It is pertinent to note that one of Breiviks' victims was the daughter of the "socialist" Norwegian Defence Minister - who just weeks earlier had himself authorised a Norwegian Air Force attack which ended in the slaughter of Gaddafi's grand-daughters as they slept in their beds. 


So who killed more innocents? The fascist Breivik or the "democrats" of the NATO empire? Is it only fascism when it happens in Europe? 


Breivik's life is less than that of a fly to me. But I would not consider the demand that the killers of Gaddafi's grand-daughters to put him to death to be any kind of stand against fascism. 


If we have to wipe the likes of Breivik and his EDL cohorts from our society then that is our job and ours only. And by doing so we will be clearing the weeds that block the path to where the real enemy sits - wearing their "socialist", "liberal" and "democratic" clothes whilst inflicting and waging war, death and suffering on a global scale that fascists like Breivik and the EDL can only fantasise of. - The REAL Scottish Defence League

The News Line: EditorialTHE DEATH PENALTY FOR BREIVIK – NO PLATFORM FOR FASCISTS!THE fascist who killed 77 people, the majority of them at a youth school of the Norwegian Young Socialists, in bomb and gun attacks in Norway last July has been given a worldwide platform by the Norwegian state to defend his actions, to declare that he is proud of what he did, and to recruit others to follow his example.

He boasted that ‘I have carried out the most spectacular and sophisticated attack on Europe since World War II,’ and told the court that he would do it all again, predicting that there would be an ‘escalation in the future’ and that the fascists would win in the end.

He claimed that ‘These acts are based on goodness, not evil,’ stating that he was not insane and that multi-culturism is the ‘insanity’.

Breivik is not insane. He is a fascist who has replaced the ‘Jewish Bolshevik conspiracy’ with the ‘Muslim threat’. His execution of Norwegian youth is only a semblance of what Europe’s fascists have in store for the working class, the trade unions, the youth and all those who favour multi-culturalism, that is living in peace with the Muslim people of the world.

In order that he should be given a ‘fair hearing’ and be able to propagandise throughout the world, a lay judge, who thought that he deserved the death penalty, was actually removed from the trial.

We repeat that Breivik is not insane. Fascism is that trend which comes on the scene when the ruling classes can no longer control the working class through bourgeois democracy and has to physically destroy working class organisations to keep capitalism going.

It makes workers’ organisations illegal and kills workers and youth in the streets and working class leaders in concentration camps, after splitting society by using either ‘The Jews’ or ‘The Muslims’ as a scapegoat for all of the problems created by the capitalists.

Hitler won the support of the German capitalist class, as the last resort against Bolshevism and Socialism.

Breivik and the various fascist and and ultra-nationalist movements in Europe, such as the English Defence League, are bidding for this same franchise.

And now they are being given a platform from which to recruit, with their leader of the moment, facing either 21 years in jail, about three months a life, or life in a mental institution, where he will be a living symbol for the fascist movement and part of its mockery of bourgeois democracy.

Breivik should have been executed on the isle where he created a mountain of corpses from the socialist youth, and he must now face the death penalty so that fascism is not seen as something to argue with or debate with, or decide whether it is insane or not, but as the vilest product of the capitalist crisis, as it was in the 1930’s, and that it must be destroyed, so that capitalism itself can be destroyed and society move forward from the ‘law of the jungle’ and ‘dog eat dog’ to a socialist society.

There must be no free speech for fascists, and the debate about whether fascism is a form of insanity or not must be junked in favour of mobilising the working class and the youth to drive them off the streets to prepare the way for the socialist revolution.

The idea that fascism can be defeated in a show trial where the issue is whether a fascist is insane or not, is itself insane.

Fascism is a product of the crisis of capitalism, the failure of bourgeois democracy and the refusal of the Labour and trade union leaders to fight for socialism.

No free speech for fascists! Bring in the death sentence for Breivik!

Mobilise the working class and the youth to drive the fascists off the streets!

Smash Capitalism! Forward to the victory of the socialist revolution!

Anti-fascists mobilise against English Defence League summit in Denmark




Hundreds of demonstrators will confront the English Defence League tomorrow as the far-right group holds its first ever European summit in a bid to set up a Continent-wide alliance of anti-Islamic organisations.

Danish activists claimed that as many as 4,000 anti-fascist activists would make their way to the town of Aarhus, where the meeting is due to take place tomorrow afternoon, from the UK, Denmark and Germany.

Organisers said they would march one hour before an EDL rally in the town, in what they predicted would be the country’s largest anti-fascist mobilisation in 15 years.

Danish members of Anti-Fascist Action, the group believed to be heavily involved in violence which followed the eviction of squatters from a Copenhagen youth centre in 2006, plan to take part in the anti-EDL march.

The group has a ferocious reputation for robust opposition to any far-right demonstrations. But members today insisted they would march peacefully.

The group was keeping a look out for EDL members arriving in Denmark last week and set up a hotline for people to report sightings.

A post on the group’s website read: “Up to 50 participants at Saturday’s racist demonstration over the last few days arrived at Copenhagen.

Today, the group reported seeing EDL leader Stephen Yaxley-Lennon – also known as Tommy Robinson – arrive in Copenhagen.

“Already Monday, a group of suspicious looking people – about 40 – observed in central Copenhagen. They were followed by a group of police officers.”

One member said today that they expected to be joined by a broad coalition of left-wing groups and trades unions from Denmark and Germany.

They said that nine buses from Copenhagen were planned to ferry more than 400 demonstrators from the Danish capital to join local residents and members of anti-fascist groups from Denmark and Germany.
Anti-EDL demonstrators from the British group Unite Against Fascism have also travelled to Denmark to confront the group.

The EDL will take a small team into the talks, which Mr Yaxley-Lennon insisted would take place behind closed doors this week. But its delegation will be joined by a larger contingent of supporters who will hold a rally in Aarhus from 2pm, local time.

The talks are expected to be attended by Defence Leagues from Denmark, Sweden, Norway, the USA, Italy, Poland and Finland, along with the anti-Muslim groups Stop Islamisation of Europe, Stop Islamisation of the World and the far-right European Freedom Initiative.

They said they wanted to set up a pan-European Defence League to deal with problems they claim are caused by “Islamification”.

It is expected several hundred supporters of the various Defence Leagues will attend. Danish Police advised local residents to stay away from the area of Aarhus expected to be targeted by the demos, saying they expected heavy traffic.

Last week, a group of around 5,000 people attended an anti-EDL concert. The Mayor’s Office said the concert was set up to show that Aarhus “does not want to be associated with extremist groups [which represent] everything we want to distance ourselves from”
