“The English worker hates the Irish worker as a competitor who lowers his standard of life. He regards himself as a part of the ruling nation & becomes a tool of the English capitalists against Ireland, thus strengthening their domination over himself".
"The English worker cherishes religious and social prejudices against the Irish worker. His attitude is the same as that of the poor whites to the blacks in the USA. This antagonism is artificially intensified by the press & all the means at the disposal of the ruling classes".
"The Irishman does the same and sees in the English worker only the accomplice of the English rulers. This antagonism is the secret of the impotence of the working class. It is the secret by which the capitalist class maintains its power". The alternative is class solidarity.
During the Vietnam War, Donald Trump received five draft-deferments: four for education and one for bone spurs in his heels. His father Fred, although he was of draft age during World War II, also did not enlist or serve. Trump’s paternal grandfather, Friedrich, was born in Bavaria in 1869. He deliberately avoided mandatory military service by emigrating to the US aged 16 in 1885. At that time, military service was compulsory for young men in Germany.
Seems like Trumps always chicken out. #TACO
