The only way working class politics wins is if we break free from the idealist delulsions of the last 100 years. The capitalst class purused their class interests through every method they could find against the feudal kings. They were the ultimate vulgar materialists.
The history of the last 100 years has been one of the bourgeoisie trying to convince the working class not to act in the same brutally efficient materialist fashion as they did in order to come to power.
That's why they fill your head with myths called "human rights" or "rule of law". No. That's all mystification. Organised class power rules. Having enough force on your side to compel your enemy to back down. That's what counts. Everything else is flaccid liberalism.
The bourgeoisie fought the feudal kings because their class interests compelled them to do so. As the conflcit got more and more extreme due to the clashing of interests between the aristocracy and the capitalists all the intermediate/moderate layers fell away.
The lesson is that no matter what the bourgeoisie and it's stooges tell us we must fight for our class interests relentlessly and without compromise. No matter how many "we can't afford it" excuses we get back. To quote Henry Hill "fuck you, pay me".
